Sure, paleontologist and historians can make a virtue out of necessity (see, e.g.,Muir,1991; Zemon Davis,2010:5–6; Peltonen,2012; Bassi,2016), but the com-monsensical assumption is that immediate observation and interrogation of phenom-ena in their entirety are preferable—time travel would be more effective.1However,the recourse to traces is getting more frequent not only for studying the h…
Whether a Kuhnian change of paradigms in business or simply a new way of performing traditional activities, the gig economy is a latent issue, and its regula-tion is extremely diverse in the Member States of the European Union (EU).

In a study of more than 60 substances chosen for their possible antikeratinogenic properties, Van Scott and Yu [1] found that the most effective drug belongs to the group of alpha-hydroxy acids. A three times a day application of citric, glycolic, lactic, malic, pyruvic and glucuronic acid, for instance, gave excellent results in all forms of ichthyosis except epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. The …

Eachgenome contains all of the information needed to build and main-tai…
