continentales señalada por el famoso geólogo vienés Eduard Suess, hacia 1880. Reconoció un ‘tipo atlántico’ de margen, identificado por el truncado abrupto de antiguascadenas montañosas y por estructuras hendidas, y un ‘tipo pacífico’, marcado por montañas dispuestas en cordilleras paralelas, por líneas de volcanes y por terremotosfrecuentes. Para muchos geólogos, las costas de tipo pacífico parecen estar localizadas donde los geosinclinales se deforman y se elevan para formar montañas. 3 EXPANS...

Au théâtre le rôle du metteur en scène peut-il être plus important que celui de l'auteur ?
la raison, autant Bérenger apparaît négligé, en retard, conciliant, en marge par son alcoolisme et son mal- être. Les tableaux suivants feront apparaître une inversion des rôles. Le deuxième tableau de l'acte II montre la métamorphose de Jean, aussi bien physique que morale, sous le regard effrayé et impuissant de son ami Bérenger. Le texte révélant sa brutalité, son impudeur, son laisser-aller avec le passage du vouvoiement au tutoiement, la dislocation de la syntaxe, montre qu'il perd...

créant ainsi une action théâtrale dialoguée entre des acteurs, et non plus seulement restreinte au dialogue entre le coryphée et le chœur. Les acteurs n'en continuèrent pas moins à jouer chacun plusieurs personnages, en fonction des besoins de la pièce. Quant à la comédie, on lui attribue plusieurs précurseurs, mais elle n'atteignit sa plénitude qu'avec Aristophane dont les pièces, à caractère politique, apparurent dans la seconde moitié du Ve siècle avant J.-C. ( les Acharniens , 425)....

Le mot "lieux" dans l'oeuvre de DESCARTES
Comme, lorsque l'aveugle, dont nous avons déjà tant parlé ci-dessus, tourne sa main A vers E, ou C aussi vers E, les nerfsinsérés en cette main causent un certain changement en son cerveau qui donne moyen à son âme de connaître, non seulement lelieu A ou C, mais aussi tous les autres qui sont en la ligne droite AE ou CE, en sorte qu'elle peut porter son attention jusqu'auxobjets B et D, et déterminer les lieux où ils sont, sans connaître pour cela ni penser aucunement à ceux où sont ses deux mai...

Aging - biology.
Different theories have been proposed to explain how SF works. One theory is based on the assumption that aging, and diseases that occur more frequently withadvancing age, are caused by structural damage to cells. This damage accumulates in tiny amounts each time the cell divides, eventually preventing the cell fromcarrying out normal functions. One cause of this damage may be free radicals, which are chemical compounds found in the environment and also generated by normal chemical reactions in...

Shang Dynasty - History.
The dynastic ancestors belonged to an elaborate religious pantheon that also included various nature powers and the Shang high god, Di. The higher powers were lessconcerned with the well-being of Shang society than the ancestors were. Di, whose wishes were often hard to determine, could even cause the Shang harm. The naturepowers could occasionally influence the wind, rain, and harvests, but only Di could actually order the weather. For an agricultural society such as the Shang, this wasperhaps...

Population.
year AD 1, and it took more than 1,500 years to reach the 500 million mark. Growth was not steady but was marked by oscillations dictated by climate, food supply, disease, and war. Starting in the 17th century, great advances in scientific knowledge, agriculture, industry, medicine, and social organization made possible rapid acceleration inpopulation growth. Machines gradually replaced human and animal labor. People slowly acquired the knowledge and means to control disease. By 1900 the worldp...

Panpipes (set of tuned pipes), made of ceramic, sugarcane,or bone were paired with shell trumpets, cane flutes, and drums, which accompanied dancers during religious and secularceremonies. Large ensembles of 4 to 20 panpipe players are still the norm, and Spanish influences have since beenintegrated...

Although the Republicans lost their first campaign for the presidency in 1856, they triumphed in1860 with former congressman Abraham Lincoln. The Republican victory resulted in part from the division of the Democratic Party into Northern and Southern factions,each of which ran its own presidential candidate, and in part from their success at attracting Whigs and Know-Nothings who had opposed the Republicans in 1856.During the C...

At oral arguments on November 20, the justices seemed to be most interested in one issue: At what point did allowing re-counts risk making Florida too late toparticipate in the electoral college vote? Gore’s lawyers, led by David Boies, argued that the state had until December 12 to pick its electors, which allowed plenty oftime for the re-counts. Electors from each state would meet on December 18 to cast their votes. The next day the court ruled unanimously for Gore and granted a five-d...

Supernova - astronomy.
The term hypernova has been proposed for an extremely massive core-collapse supernova—possibly more than 100 times the mass of the Sun. A hypernova is thought to form a black hole. Just before it explodes, a hypernova may release a huge burst of gamma rays in a jet from the rotating black hole at its center. These jets mayexplain the so-called long gamma-ray bursts detected by astronomers. According to some researchers, massive stars with over 40 solar masses may sometimescollapse directly int...

Census.
Prior to any census, a census agency must develop an accurate list of addresses and maps to ensure that everyone is counted. The U.S. Census Bureau obtainsaddresses primarily from the United States Postal Service and from previous census address lists. It also works closely with state, local, and tribal governments tocompile accurate lists. Finally, census agencies often conduct an extensive marketing campaign before Census Day to remind the general population about theimportance of responding t...

Buddhism.
Although never actually denying the existence of the gods, Buddhism denies them any special role. Their lives in heaven are long and pleasurable, but they are in thesame predicament as other creatures, being subject eventually to death and further rebirth in lower states of existence. They are not creators of the universe or incontrol of human destiny, and Buddhism denies the value of prayer and sacrifice to them. Of the possible modes of rebirth, human existence is preferable, because thedeitie...
