I Twenty-five years ago, at the Conference on the Comparative
Reception of Darwinism held at the University of Texas in 1972,
only two countries of the Iberian world-Spain and Mexico-were
represented.' At the time, it was apparent that the topic had
attracted interest only as regarded the "mainstream" science
countries of Western Europe, plus the United States. The
Eurocentric bias of professional history of science was a fact. The
sea change that subsequently occurred in the historiography of
science makes 1972 appear something like the antediluvian era.
Still, we would like to think that that meeting was prescient in
looking beyond the mainstream science countries-as then
perceived-in order to test the variation that ideas undergo as they
pass from center to periphery. One thing that the comparative study
of the reception of ideas makes abundantly clear, however, is the
weakness of the center/periphery dichotomy from the perspective of
the diffusion of scientific ideas. Catholics in mainstream
countries, for example, did not handle evolution much better than
did their corre1igionaries on the fringes. Conversely, Darwinians
in Latin America were frequently better placed to advance Darwin's
ideas in a social and political sense than were their fellow
evolutionists on the Continent. The Texas meeting was also a marker
in the comparative reception of scientific ideas, Darwinism aside.
Although, by 1972, scientific institutions had been studied
comparatively, there was no antecedent for the comparative history
of scientific ideas.

This textbook deals with tensors that are treated as vectors.
Coverage details such new tensor concepts as the rotation of
tensors, the transposer tensor, the eigentensors, and the
permutation tensor structure. The book covers an existing gap
between the classic theory of tensors and the possibility of
solving tensor problems with a computer. A complementary computer
package, written in Mathematica, is available through the
Internet.
In Eating to Learn, Learning to Eat, historian A. R. Ruis explores
the origins of American school meal initiatives to explain why it
was (and, to some extent, has continued to be) so difficult to
establish meal programs that satisfy the often competing interests
of children, parents, schools, health authorities, politicians, and
the food industry. Through careful studies of several key contexts
and detailed analysis of the policies and politics that governed
the creation of school meal programs, Ruis demonstrates how the
early history of school meal program development helps us
understand contemporary debates over changes to school lunch
policies.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second
International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography, ICQE 2020,
held in February 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference
has been postponed to 2021 and was held in online format. The 28
full papers were selected from 56 submissions. The contributions in
this volume come from diverse fields and perspectives, and present
the studies on advantages of using quantitative ethnography methods
and techniques in a number of different domains and contexts,
including ethnography and statistics, human interpretation and
machine processing, etc.
Circulating high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) is a
marker associated with cardiovascular health. Exercise is generally
known to increase the HDL-C levels, and this can, in part, explain
its cardioprotective effects. The authors present data regarding
the association between exercise and the HDL quality and further
encourages taking into consideration the view of HDL quality in
relation to exercise, in addition to HDL-C. In contrast, this book
also includes research on low density lipoproteins, specifically
describing research in which atherogenic LDL possesses numerous
alterations of carbohydrate and human blood plasma and represents a
cascade of successive changes in the lipoprotein particle. Lastly,
arachidonic acid has shown to effect blood lipid levels. The
authors of this book focused on the problem of arachidonic acid
metabolism, belonging to the group of n-6.
Scripture Plain & Simple is an innovative-yet
accurate-adaptation of select passages from the Greek New
Testament, challenging contemporary readers with the person and
teaching of Jesus. An adaptation differs from a translation in that
it imports and integrates imagery foreign to the biblical culture,
while remaining faithful to the meaning of the biblical text.

En el presente trabajo se sintetizaron derivados metalicos del
acido crotonico. Los compuestos fueron sintetizados en el
laboratorio de cristalografia de la Universidad de los Andes por el
autor. Se reporta la caracterizacion de los materiales por
espectroscopia ft-ir, metodos termicos de analisis (tga y dsc) y
difraccion de rayos-x en muestras policristalinas de los crotonatos
de sodio, bario, estroncio, litio y magnesio y por difraccion de
rayos-x al crotonato de bario. Se describe el crecimiento de
cristales de estos materiales usando metodos de evaporacion lenta
de solvente, difusion, mecanoquimicos e hidrotermicos."
