East, West // Salman Rushdie Cenozoic motion between east and west Antarctica, abstract The West Antarctic rift system is the result of late Mesozoic and Cenozoic extension between East and West Antarctica, and represents one of the largest active continental rift systems on Earth. But the timing and magnitude of the plate motions leading. Evidence for eastâ west crustal extension in the Eastern Alps: Implications for the unroofing history of the Tauern window, the contact between the western border of the Tauern Window and the overlying Austroalpine nappes (Austria and Italy) is marked by a structural, petrologic, and geochronologic discontinuity that developed in the early stages of unroofing of the window. The World's Parliament of Religions: The East/West Encounter, Chicago, 1893, Religion in North America, conceived as a magnificent display of the major religions of the world, the 1893 Parliament sought to unite all religion against irreligion. A singular moment in the creation of a more pluralistic religious culture in America, it introduced many Americans to Eastern religions. The new face of East-West migration in Europe, in order to contextualise the papers in this special issue, this paper presents an overview and framework for understanding the importance of East-West migration in Europe associated with the EU enlargement process. The new patterns and forms of migration seen. East-West mortality divide and its potential explanations: proposed research agenda, while the practice's doctors and nurses could have written a health plan based on their perceptions of the health needs of their population, this study has shown that patient consultation is both feasible and informative. The practice's strategy now has shared. The determinants of East-West German migration: some first results, determinants of the propensity to migrate are explored using data collected in a survey of East German residents following German reunification in 1991. The author notes that in the period 1989-1992, some 870,000 individuals migrated to West Germany, representing about. Evidence for Tibetan plateau uplift before 14 Myr ago from a new minimum age for east-west extension, iMPORTANT changes in South Asian climate occurred in the Late Miocene epoch (8 Myr ago) 1, 2, and these have been attributed by some researchers to uplift of the Tibetan plateau at about the same time 3-5. Unfortunately, this link has been difficult to test because. Vertical drift velocities and eastâ west electric fields at the magnetic equator, incoherent scatter observations of vertical drifts taken at Jicamarca (2 dip) are presented. Vertical drifts are found to be nearly constant as a function of height. These vertical drifts can also be taken as a direct measurement of the east-west electric fields at the magnetic. of surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma in tertiary referral centers: is it adherent to the EASL/AASLD recommendations?: an observational study of the HCC EastWest, objective: The aim of this study was to investigate in a retrospective setting the patients' profile and results of those undergoing surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in high-volume surgical centers throughout the world. Background: Whether surgery. A comparative study of fish yields from various tropical ecosystems, there is an immense variation in actual and potential fish yields, both with in and between different kinds of aquatic tropical ecosystems. The finfish catches from lakes, reservoirs, rivers, continental shelves and coral reefs all fall in approximately the same range. East-west extension and Holocene normal-fault scarps in the Hellenic arc, examination of surface fault traces with Spot images and in the field corroborates the inference that the active tectonics of southern Peloponnesus and Crete are dominated by approximately north-south normal faulting and approximately east-west extension. Age stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes towards older workers: An East-West comparison, this study compared age stereotypes among 567 respondents sampled in the UK and Hong Kong and examined how these stereotypes were related to discriminatory attitudes at work. Compared to the Hong Kong sample, UK respondents saw older workers as more effective. Age and composition of dikes in Southern Tibet: New constraints on the timing of east-west extension and its relationship to postcollisional volcanism, controversy exists over whether east-west extension in southern Tibet is related to plateau uplift or to the accommodation of plate boundary forces. Relationships between the onset of extension, plateau uplift, and the thermal state of the lithosphere are critical to this debate. Tropical east-west circulations during the northern summer, observational evidence of a major east-west circulation during the northern summer is presented in this paper. The geometry of this circulation is portrayed in the form of the streamlines of the divergent part of the wind for the seasonal mean motion field. Small firms and entrepreneurship: an East-West perspective, this book analyses the relative importance of small firms in industrial economies. It brings together a series of studies spanning a spectrum of selected countries in developed Western nations and Eastern Europe to identify the exact role of small firms and how this role. Controlling East-West trade and technology transfer: Power, politics, and policies, western efforts to control trade and technological relations with communist countries affect many interests and political groups in both Eastern and Western blocs. Although there is general agreement within the Western alliance that government-imposed controls. Wind, temperature and stability conditions in an east-west oriented urban canyon, observations of wind and temperature in an urban canyon are presented. They form the basis of simple algorithms relating weather conditions above roof-level to those within the street canyon. The temporal development of the spatial distribution of air temperature across. The future of population in Asia, over the past 50 years, many Asian countries have experienced a remarkable pace of economic development and social change. Modernization has progressed most quickly in the countries of East Asia. At 81 years, Japan now has the highest life expectancy. Origin of adakitic intrusives generated during mid-Miocene east-west extension in southern Tibet, adakite is an intermediate to felsic rock with low K, high Al, Na and Sr, and depleted in Y and HREE, usually occurring in arc settings related to subduction of an oceanic slab. Here we report the occurrence of potassic adakites from south Tibet in an orogenic belt produced. Types and patterns: an experimental East-West-German comparison of cooperation and solidarity, in a study of public good and solidarity experiments conducted in eastern and western Germany, we found in both games that eastern subjects behave in a significantly more selfish manner than do western subjects. Besides that we found that many qualitative results.
