This review article seeks to advance the notion of democracy as action as a concept for the study of (West) German democracy. It suggests that it would be preferable to define democracy as practical rather than speculative so as to show how democrati...

We have solved a long-standing and seemingly paradoxical set of questions that relate to the conditions which govern spider ballooning. We show that observations of spider ballooning excursions are best explained by meteorological conditions which ma... Read More about Ballooning dispersal in arthropod taxa: conditions at take-off.

In this paper, we consider decidability questions that are related to the membership problem in matrix semigroups. In particular, we consider the membership of a given invertible diagonal matrix in a matrix semigroup and then a scalar matrix, which h...
