...taught an introduction to 20th century art in different ways, but most recently around models of representation, because representation itself is so deeply challenged and becomes one of the main problems of various modernist movements. Even so, students seem to need a chronology to perform a kind of cognitive mapping. In order to build that map, there needs to be some kind of really coherent structure, whether it's a totalising system, or a chronology, or some other kind of structure...
VENICE, Italy: A celestial map unveiled by the European Space Agency appears to be so accurate that it is moving astronomers to reevaluate the size and age of the universe. The map, made from data received from the agency's Hipparcos satellite, has led scientists to speculate that the cosmos is older and perhaps 10 to 15 percent larger than previously believed. This possibility may help explain why some stars in the heavens appear older than the universe itself. To produce the celestial plan, know as the Hipparcos Catalog, the satellite studied the positions and movements of thousands of stars...
...lively and moving reflection of the young jazz legend's life. Born in 1920, Parker, better known as "Bird," rose to great heights in the music world. Along with Dizzy Gillespie, he helped to establish bebop, putting West 52nd Street, now known as Jazz Alley, on the map. After a life of drug and alcohol abuse, Bird died at the age of 35--but not before leaving behind a significant legacy in the age of jazz...
...April issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, is very small. Malbon and his team measured enzyme abundance in the breast cells of just 30 women, 11 of whom had undergone surgery to remove suspicious tumors. Cells taken from the tumors, later shown to be cancerous, contained MAP-kinase levels 5 to 20 times as high as those in normal breast cells. But other researchers argue that you would have to examine a lot more patients before drawing any firm conclusions...
Even if that's true, say other scientists, MAP kinases are just one component of an elaborate biochemical network that controls the process of cell division. Though breast tumors may contain high levels of the enzymes, that may well be an effect of malignancy rather than the cause. This does not mean that MAP kinases are not important contributors to tumor growth. But, cautions Susan Braun, president of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in Texas, "people should understand that this is a piece of the puzzle, not the single answer." Indeed, there will probably never be a single...
