forget or deny them, move away from
them.
006. The traditional view
supposes that the upper mantle of the earth
behaves as a liquid when it is
subjected to small forces for long
periods and that differences in
temperature under oceans and
continents
are sufficient to produce convection in the mantle
of the
earth with rising convection
currents under the mid-ocean ridges and
sinking currents under the
continents.
007. This view may be correct: it has
the advantage that the currents
are
driven by temperature differences that themselves
depend on the
position of the
continents.
008. The enclosed seas are important
feature of the earth's surface
and
seriously require explanation because, in addition

consideration of its own needs
and thus
avoid selling its products for more than its
competitors'
charge is commonly
recognized by advocates of free-market
economic theories.
014. Moreover,
those economists who argue that allowing the free
market to operate without interference
is the most efficient method of
establishing prices have not considered
the economies of
nonsocialist countries
other than the United States.
015. Snyder,
Daly, and Bruns have recently proposed that
caffeine
affects behavior by countering
the activity in the human brain of a
naturally occurring chemical called
adenosine.
016. To buttress their case that
caffeine acts instead by preventing
adenosine binding, Snyder et al
compared the stimulatory effects of a
series of caffeine derivatives with
their ability to dislodge adenosine
from its receptors in the brains of
mice.
017. The problem is that the compound
has mixed effects in the brain,
a not

enterprises and
toward supporting
lager, growth-oriented minority firms through
intermediary companies.
021. MESBIC's

than does simply making
general management experience and small
amounts of capital
available.
023. Most senior executives are
familiar with the formal decision
analysis models and tools, and those
who use such systematic
methods for
reaching decisions are occasionally leery of
solutions
suggested by these methods
which run counter to their sense of the
correct course of action.

not affected by the spraying of Matacil,
these results add weight to the
argument that spraying where the
pollinators are sensitive to the
pesticide used decreases plant

031. The question of wether
the decrease in plant fecundity caused
by the spraying of pesticides actually
causes a decline in the overall
population of flowering plant species
still remains unanswered.
