Al-Khwarizmi: The Father of Algebra

How representative is an image?

Many scientific publications, and especially those in the biological sciences, contain micrographs that are described in captions as ‘representative images’ or ‘typical images’. Often, these claims are not accompanied by substantiating data, and there is seldom a requirement to provide the data as supplementary material. Poor experimental design and subconscious bias can lead to the publication...

Al-khwarizmi: a new-found basin on the lunar far side.

Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 photographs of the far side of the moon reveal a double-ringed basin 500 kilometers in diameter centered at 1 degrees N, 112 degrees E. The structure is very old and subdued; it is probably Pre-Nectarian in age and appears to have been filled and modified by younger events. The heights of the basin's rings are based on laser altimeter data from Apollo missions 15 through...

Ascorbate is an outstanding antioxidant in human blood plasma.

We have shown recently that the temporal order of antioxidant consumption in human blood plasma exposed to a constant flux of aqueous peroxyl radicals is ascorbate = protein thiols greater than bilirubin greater than urate greater than alpha-tocopherol and that detectable lipid peroxidation starts only after ascorbate has been consumed completely. In this paper, we show that it is indeed ascorb...
