A Sangaku Revived
Abstract In this paper we give an account on our mathematical and visual explorations inspired by a sangaku. First we introduce sangakus – traditional Japanese mathematical tablets. Then we give four examples of our static contemporary variants. Finally, we discuss in detail how a fifth sangaku led us to simulate the growth of water lilies, as a means of visualizing the problem. This approach l...
متن کاملExheritance — Class Generalisation Revived
We develop further the old idea that object-oriented languages could support also the inverse of inheritance (specialisation): generalisation or “exheritance”. It is easy as far as only interfaces are concerned, but attributes and method implementations cause problems. Renaming appears to be a very desirable language feature for exheritance. Combinations of inheritance and exheritance can be in...
متن کاملTemocillin revived.
Resistance in Gram-negative pathogens is an increasing concern, with carbapenems often appearing as the only acceptable treatment option in serious infections. Reviving older compounds that have fallen into disuse may help to alleviate this burden. Temocillin (6-alpha-methoxy-ticarcillin) is resistant to most if not all classical and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and to AmpC enzymes. It is ...
متن کاملA Relic Neutrino Detector
Probably the most promising way of detecting cosmic neutrinos is measuring the mechanical force exerted by elastic scattering of cosmic neutrinos from macroscopic targets. The expected acceleration is ∼ 10cm/s for Dirac neutrinos of mass ∼ 10 eV and local density ∼ 10/cm. A novel torsion balance design is presented, which addresses the sensitivity-limiting factors of existing balances, such as ...
متن کاملRevived interest in bacteriophages
Tree life: The entire horse chestnut tree is the environment that shapes the mutual adaptation of Pseudomonas syringae bacteria and their phages, as research from Koskella and colleagues has shown. (Photo: Photolibrary.) In the unlikely setting of Oxford University’s Zoology Department, NERC research fellow Britt Koskella studies horse chestnut trees, their bacterial pathogens and, most importa...
