Reversible Universe Implications of AflFbrdance-based Reverse Engineering of Complex Natural Systems 

The Independence and Proper Roles of Engineering and Metaphysics in Support of an Integrated Understanding of God s Creation 

Beauty, and the Reflection of God John Ruskin s Seven Lamps of Architecture and The Stones of Venice as Palimpsests for Contemporary Architecture 

Much of modern engineering is functional. If it works, then what more is there to do In this paper, additional foundational considerations besides function are suggested for the practice of architecture, including moral, ethical, philosophical, and religious principles. Using John Ruskin as a plumbline, the paper provides examples of modern architecture which embody these principles and suggests ways in which these principles can be incorporated into future architectural projects.

This glossary lists all the acronyms referred to in the encyclopedia together with their meanings. The major technique acronyms are listed alphabetically. Alternatives to these acronyms are listed immediately below each of these entries, if they exist. Related acronyms (variations or subsets of techniques terminology used within the technique area) are grouped together below the major acronym and indented to the right. Most, but not all, of the techniques listed here are the subject of individual articles in this volume. 

Drs J. Roth, J. Brown, A.P. Hardt and Mr T.Q. Ciccone of the private sector, Dr C.H. McDonnell of the Naval Ordnance Station, Indian Head, Md, as well as Dr S. Bulusu and Messrs S. Helf, H.L. Herman, J. Hendrickson and D.J. Veal of the Energetics Materials Division, LCWSL, ARRADCOM, Dover, NJ, all contributed significantly in the literature searching and writing of many of the articles in this volume. Others who contributed to the manuscript, by invitation, are indicated at the end of the articles... 

The guanine radical cations (G +) are detected by their reactions with water, which leads after treatment with piperidine or ammonia to selective strand cleavage [14]. A similar charge detection method was used by J.K. Barton, G.B. Schuster and I. Saito as described in their articles in this volume. The cleavage products were separated and quantified by gel electrophoresis. A typical example is shown in Fig. 7 where the GGG unit acts as a thermodynamic sink for the positive charge, and the efficiency of the charge transfer can be measured by the product ratio Pggg/Pg-...

SH2 and SH3 domains refer to src homology 2 and 3, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase where these domains were identified originally. They bind to phos-phorylated tyrosine and pro line rich epitopes, respectively, with specificities each in respect to the neighboring amino acids. Grb2 is an adapter molecule par excellence having both SH2 and SH3 domains (see also the respective article in this volume). 

The word truth is a multi-meaning word which can be applied both to science and life. We will not raise social problems but we will go down to the science, particularly chemical science (organic and physical chemistry). We choose chemical kinetics as a method of research because chemical kinetics is a science about chemical processes, mechanisms of reactions, and about possibilities of directing reactions. Parts of the articles in this volume deal with chemical physics, biochemical physics, and physical organic chemistry. All of these fields of science are interconnected with each other.

This is one of two articles in this volume concerned with the borane-carborane structural pattern. In the other (see Williams, this volume, p. 67) Williams has shown how the pattern reflects the coordination number preferences of the various atoms involved. The purpose of the present article is to note some bonding implications of the pattern, and to show its relevance to a wide range of other compounds, including metal clusters, metal-hydrocarbon n complexes, and various neutral or charged hydrocarbons. 

The first article in this volume, by Jenny P. dusker, treats general aspects of metal liganding to functional groups in proteins. This article presents a detailed summary of the geometry of interaction of metals with the various chemical groups of proteins. It also presents, in Sections I through VIII, a lucid development of the principles and terminology of the field of metal-protein interactions. It is with these sections that the newcomer to the field of metalloproteins should start.
