Small globular proteins, highly abundant in the antennal sensillar lymph and in the mammalian nasal mucus, and capable of binding odorant molecules have been discovered. They have led to the concept that odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) may optimize the reception of hydrophobic stimuli molecules by enhancing their solubilization in the aqueous environment that bath
This chapter explores moral and ethical discussions that emerged in Sweden when the number of artificial grass pitches rose substantially. Based on research in the Swedish top-tier football league, named Allsvenskan, I shall present conflicting discourses that appear whenever grass is considered. The grass discussions often take a wider, political turn and reflect attitudes towards developments in
In 2005, an occupied cliff nest of a Common Buzzard was found in a quarry near Geseke in North Rhine-Westphalia, Northwest Germany. Cliff nests are common in Great Britain and parts of the Alps, but in Central Europe tree nests are the rule. The relevant literature describes only a few nests on the ground, but none on cliffs. Despite the breeding of a pair of Eagle Owls Bubo bubo in the same area
The chapter extends the concept of the uncanny to conceptualize the affective experience which arises when our most intimate space, the home, is permeated with connected sensors and new machine vision technologies. This range of experience, we argue, which is intimately linked to the current age of ubiquitous computing and smart technologies, can be understood through the category of the technolog
In the early Holocene, Mesolithic hunter-gatherer communities inhabiting the Cis-Baikal region of Eastern Siberia were participating in a series of important cultural changes. These included the establishment of large cemeteries in the Angara Valley and on the Southwest shores of Lake Baikal, culminating in the formation of the distinctive Early Neolithic Kitoi cultural pattern ca. 7560 cal. BP. A
