  David Ketterer- The SF Element in the Work of Poe: A Chronological Survey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It is the "happier star" mentioned in "Sonnet--To Science," which functions as a proem to "Al Aaraaf"; here the world of myth, displaced on earth by science, has taken refuge.
In this fourth doppelganger grotesque (see #33), the result of the narrator's mutilating his fl cat (a projection of those aspects of his personality he wishes to exorcise) is a series of catastrophes culminating in the death of his wife-i.e., his potential for arabesque awareness.
Claims that Poe was "the first writer of science centered fiction to base his stories firmly on a rational kind of explanation, avoiding the supernatural" (p4l7); counts seven of the tales as SF: ## 13, 58, 59, 62, 74, 81, 83.

In social network analysis, discrete mathematics and statistics are combined with the emerging epistemology of complex systems to explore processes and phenomena as diverse as the diffusion of information through an organization, the adoption of innovations in society, and the spread of infectious disease in a population.
In general, most of the difficult problems modern society faces arrive in the form of complex structures such as economies, ecosystems, and societies, and interactions among social scientists and biologists and the integration of their techniques and insights may prove crucial to developing a new understanding of how these complex systems behave.
The fluidity of water in confined geometries is relevant to processes ranging from tribology to protein folding, and the molecular mobility of water in pores and slits has been extensively studied using a variety of approaches.

 The German Ideology. Karl Marx 1845   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Feuerbach speaks in particular of the perception of natural science; he mentions secrets which are disclosed only to the eye of the physicist and chemist; but where would natural science be without industry and commerce?
Even this pure natural science is provided with an aim, as with its material, only through trade and industry, through the sensuous activity of men.
Of course, in all this the priority of external nature remains unassailed, and all this has no application to the original men produced by generatio aequivoca [spontaneous generation]; but this differentiation has meaning only insofar as man is considered to be distinct from nature.
