  • Unfolding new values in the landscape of conflict

    Publication
    • M. Zboińska

    - Year 2007

    The main objective of the paper is to investigate how the conflict quality of landscape can be used as its asset and potential for creating new values. Like mediation between different overlapping archaeologies offers a basis for the perception of place in the chronology of time, the mediation between conflicted areas creates a capacious zone for enhancing the unique quality of landscape in its architectural, social, cultural and...

    Cellular lipid metabolism plays a pivotal role in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, as increased lipogenesis in HCMV-infected cells favors the envelopment of newly synthesized viral particles. As all cells are equipped with restriction factors (RFs) able to exert a protective effect against invading pathogens, we asked whether a similar defense mechanism would also be in place to preserve the metabolic compartment from HCMV...
