Gertrude Stein and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti were both known as stylists and innovators, and both wrote in a number of different forms--drama, poetry, essays, and the novel, among others. Stein and Marinetti were both products of the innovative artistic period of the early part of this century into the 1920s and beyond, and each was a leader imitated and admired by the next generation of writers. Stein was influenced by Cubism and other artistic movements that separated the viewer from the expectations of photographic portrayals of the world, and marinetti was a leader in the Futurist movement which was also opposed to strict representation of the world in a realistic way. Stein's life with Alice B. Toklas was somewhat scandalous but relatively quiet by some standards, while Marinetti's life was flamboyant and steeped in scandal and challenge to society as

Alzheimer's Disease/Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer Type: The Role of Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors As the United States' population grows older, the chronic degenerative diseases of the elderly have become increasingly important. One condition that has received considerable attention is Alzheimer's disease, otherwise known as Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer Type (AD/SDAT). In recent years, researchers have begun to begun to elucidate the biochemical and physiological mechanisms which characterize this disorder. Moreover, despite the brain's inherent complexity and inaccessibility, several promising therapeutic modalities have emerged. Of these different agents, perhaps the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors exhibit the most potential. At the turn of the century, the average life expectancy in

Economic forecasting has long been an area of interest because of its connection with high finance, fortunes won and lost and the criticality of economic trends for the social and political welfare of the country. Numerous public and private organizations are devoted to the production of regular economic forecasts, and heavily funded research projects seek more accurate and reliable models on which to base these forecasts. While much attention is focused on the area of economic forecasting, and numerous computerized models have been developed to predict economic performance, the reliability and accuracy of these models has come into question, in large part because of the importance of the economic forecast to everyday activities. This research examines the business cycle, the current basis of economic forecasting, and short and long-term methodologies of forec

Gorilla gorilla gorilla, otherwise known as the Western lowland gorilla, has not been as well studied as its ethnic relative, the eastern mountain gorilla. This paper will examine the lowland gorilla in detail, with attention to the following topics: evolution and phylogeny; range (extent, climate, and vegetation) habitat and niche, including metabolic features; physiological adoptions for survival; status of endangerment; and anatomical adoptions for survival, including population trends. In addition, three figures, mentioned in the text, will help illustrate several of the above topics. The Western lowland gorilla's scientific name is Gorilla. It belongs to the family Pongidae, and its common name is gorilla. G. g. gorilla is a subspecies of the single species G. gorilla. The Western lowland gorilla is found in extreme

Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) was one of the greatest American painters yet he met with little success during his lifetime. Eakins always believed that his life had little to do with his art. He approached his art from a scientific, realist perspective and held that everything the viewer needed was present on the canvas. But connections between Eakins' beliefs, the difficulties of his artistic career, and his private life are important keys to understanding his work. Three examples of typical Eakins subjects demonstrate how knowledge of his ideas and circumstances illuminates his work. His 1875 painting The Gross Clinic was a portrait of a celebrated surgeon that reflects not only Eakins' artistic influences but his ideas about heroism in American life. His Portrait of a Lady with a Setter Dog (1885) was a portrait of his wife Susan Eakins, painted shortly

INTRODUCTION Children may be bothered by a number of conditions that come under the heading of learning disabilities, and they may also be affected by problems that can appear to be learning disabilities. Learning disabilities make life difficult for children in the classroom. They also cause for the child as they grow all of the problems associated with the lack of an education, and they may also shape and distort the child's social abilities and his ability to acquire a variety of concepts we all possess that help us relate to ourselves, other people, and the world itself. Learning disabilities often show themselves in the classroom and emerge as the child is expected to learn and develop at the same pace as others in his or her age group, but instead, he or she shows the inability to learn, inattentiveness, difficult

Genetics today is on the cutting edge of biological science, and scientists working in this area are involved in a wide variety of pursuits that will have profound implications for our future on this planet, with projects including the creation of new biologic entities, curing diseases, manufacturing synthetic versions of biologic substances, identifying different genetic codes and what they do, and perhaps finding a way to control that genetic information to produce animals with certain characteristics or without certain characteristics, including greater strength, resistance to disease, and a higher yield in meat, eggs, dairy products, or whatever they provide. Geneticists have already accomplished many of these things with grains, plants, and even certain farm animals. They are addressing disease through the creation of new strains of bacteria by means of recombinant DNA
