The most popular fix for this inconsistency is to "invent" around 94% of the content of the universe: dark matter and dark energy. The dark energy is some exotic substance responsible for the apparent observed acceleration of the Universe. Another

Overview: It is well known that contemporary mathematics includes many disci­ plines. Among them the most important are: set theory, algebra, topology, geometry, functional analysis, probability theory, the theory of differential equations and some others. Furthermore, every mathematical discipline consists of several large sections in which specific problems are investigated and the corresponding technique is developed. For example, in general topology we have the following extensive chap­ ters: the theory of compact extensions of topological spaces, the theory of continuous mappings, cardina

The 29-amino acid peptide (named after its N-terminal glycine and C-terminal alanine) was identified in 1983 by its C-terminal amidation. This ‘reverse‘ approach, that is to discover a substance through a distinct chemical feature, and only subsequently to characterize its biological activity, was novel an

Nevertheless, we believe that in general the conflict between the law and science, as illustrated in the field of genetics, is embroi­ dered with exaggeration. The Chief Justice of the
