Activity Tracking’s Newest Companion

Distributed Newest Vertex Bisection

Distributed adaptive conforming refinement requires multiple iterations of the serial refinement algorithm and global communication as the refinement can be propagated over several processor boundaries. We show bounds on the maximum number of iterations. The algorithm is implemented within the software package Dune-ALUGrid.

Emperor's Newest Clothes.

3D-CT after full color spectrum rendering. Digital medium. The skin surface hangs like a soft satin over the transparent body with the trachea and lungs in the centre. Look, can you find some emphysematous bullae in the lungs? Cross section of the thorax at the level of the heart forms the background.

The Newest Mania: Seeing Disease Mongering Everywhere

James Phelps I am a disease monger. I teach primary care doctors how to identify bipolar disorder. Worse yet, I take money from pharmaceutical companies for doing so. I use it to subsidize my practice so that I can treat patients with no insurance, or little money, who now account for over a third of my patients—in part because the pharmaceutical companies have drained so much money out of the ...

Magnetic Activity of the Cool Companion in Symbiotic Systems

I argue that cool giant companions in most symbiotic binary systems possess magnetic activity on a much higher level than isolated, or in wide binary systems, cool giants. Based on the behavior of main sequence stars, I assume that magnetic activity and X-ray luminosity increase with rotation velocity. I then show that the cool companions in symbiotic systems are likely to rotate much faster th...
