The twentieth century was a century of liturgical reforms. Every century has spent great resources on the liturgy, but hardly any other century has spent so much effort on changing it as the twentieth. Yet no-one seems content with what has been achieved. Five motives for liturgical reform are discussed: repristination, active participation, pastoral adaptation, ecumenical convergence, and the sim

We prove uniqueness for steady symmetric water waves with affine vorticity. The result holds with or without surface tension and gravity.

In this paper, a control system for an advanced prosthesis is proposed and has been investigated in two different biological systems: (1) the spinal withdrawal reflex system of a rat and (2) voluntary movements in two human males: one normal subject and one subject with a traumatic hand amputation. The small-animal system was used as a model system to test different processing methods for the pros

The process of globalization encompasses economic and financial integration. The abolition of capital controls and the dismantling of barriers of different kinds will expose previously sheltered companies to shocks originating in the global economic arena. Policymakers in already globalized countries have learned that market participants should be prepared in due time to meet the new exposure to f

During 1972–1975, the breeding waterfowl populations of the northern parts of Fennoscandia (south to 65° N in Sweden) were surveyed for the first time. In 2009, a new survey was undertaken in the Swedish part of the mountain chain. Censuses were performed from the air in transects of 5×5 km squares and in special areas. The distribution of the different species was largely similar between the two

In this paper we consider the problem of solving geometric reconstruction problems with the L-infinity-norm. Previous work has shown that globally optimal solutions can be computed reliably for a series of such problems. The methods for computing the solutions have relied on the property of quasiconvexity. For quasiconvex problems, checking if there exists a solution below a certain objective valu

Within the Scandinavian languages, there is a notable variation regarding verb agreement. Holmberg & Platzack (1995) suggested that this basic feature is linked to both verb raising and the presence of a handful of syntactic phenomena, such as stylistic fronting, oblique subjects, transitive expletives etc. In agreement-rich languages such as Icelandic and Faroese, the finite verb thus raises

The scalar polarizability constant [alpha]0 for the 10, 11 2S1/2 and 9 2D5/2 states of 133Cs was measured i Stark effect experiment on a collimated atomic beam. The states were reached by a two-step excitation procedure involving a single-mode dye laser.

The adhesin protein E (PE) of the human respiratory pathogen nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) exists in all clinical isolates. In the present study, NTHi adherence to epithelial cells of various origins was further analyzed. The number of intraepithelial PE-deficient NTHi was decreased compared with PE-expressing NTHi. Interestingly, PE-expressing NTHi or Escherichia coli transformants, i
