The starting point of my analysis will be Reinhard Koselleck’s hypothesis of historical asymmetrical counterconcepts. His belief in a conceptual and ideological global dualism (Hellene/Barbarian, Christian/Heathen, Superman/Subhuman), in which a collective Self is contrasted to a generic Other of negation, will be tested on Linnaeus’ 18th-century classifications of human varieties (races). Though
In order to show why Eco, Goodman, and others were wrong in their classical critique of iconicity, we will pursue a close reading of Peirce, but we will interpret his text in accordance with more recent findings in cognitive and perceptual psychology. We will arrive at the conclusion that there are two very different kinds of iconicity, which we will call primary and secondary iconicity. Even so,
The biological activity and spatio–temporal expression patterns of the gonadotropin receptors FSH-R and LH-R were examined in the repetitive spawner Atlantic halibut to elucidate the gonadotropic regulation of the asynchronous follicle development. The cloned receptors were expressed in mammalian COS-7 cells, and stimulation with sea bass FSH and LH increased the cAMP production. The halibut FSH-R

This paper develops a generalization of the balanced truncation algorithm applicable to discrete-time Markov jump linear systems. The approximation error, which is captured by means of the stochastic L2 gain, is bounded from above by twice the sum of singular numbers associated to the truncated states of each mode.
