One of the most puzzling passages of Vergil's Aeneid is the last lines of book VI where Aeneas and the Sibyl leave the underworld through the gate of ivory, the gate of false dreams. "Few passages of the Aeneid have given rise to more controversies and divergence of judgement" (Brooks Otis). In this article we analyse the linguistic context and propose a new solution to the problem.
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial dysfunction, accelerated thickening of arterial intima, and changes in ventricular repolarization contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although vitamin C has important antioxidant functions and increased oxidative stress is a central mechanism of cardiovascular dysfunction in T1D, the relation between vitamin C and the cardiova
Internal erosion is one of the major reasons for embankment dam failures. Despite this, the knowledge of the temporal development of internal erosion in full scale structures is limited. Results from a research field monitoring program by daily resistivity measurements in Sweden clearly show long term changes in resistivity in the embankment dam. The results indicate that resistivity monitoring ca
Popular Abstract in Swedish BAKGRUND Fokus riktas allt mer mot försörjningskedjan och allt mindre mot det enskilda företaget i takt med att konkurrens mellan enskilda företag ersätts av konkurrens mellan försörjningskedjor. Det är emellertid endast det enskilda företaget som kan fatta beslut och vidta åtgärder, men dessa beslut och åtgärder måste idag ske utifrån ett kedjeperspektiv. Med ökat foBackground Today's modern, industrialized society is based on globalization, specialization and mass-production. It is a society dependent upon highly integrated, continuously ongoing supply chain flows. Disruptions in those flows may cause devastating negative consequences, both for the individual company, for the supply chain, and for the society at large. Purpose and objectives The purpose o
The paper intends to show, (1) that W.N. Hohfeld’s theory of fundamental jural relations is relevant to economic theory, and (2) that Hohfeld’s system can be reconstructed by the concepts of ‘liberty space’ and ‘ability space’, understood as an agent’s Spielraum for action. The first half of the paper is devoted to an exposition of Hohfeld’s system and to the question of its relation to the econom
This chapter illustrates how quantum chemical calculations can be used to elucidate structural and functional aspects of tetrapyrrole cofactors, focusing on porphyrins, cobalamins, coenzyme F430, and chlorophyll. A particular emphasis is put on the biochemical significance of axial ligands, which can tune the function of the tetrapyrroles. With the use of quantum chemical calculations, it is possi
The detection of spectral line profile variability for stars of the HgMnclass of chemical peculiarity has been poorly documented in theliterature yet holds a special significance for understandingrelationships between observed spectral anomalies, stellar surfacestructure, and magnetic fields. The HgMn stars have until now not beenconfirmed to vary in their light or spectral characteristics in ways
