All Roads (Even Those Less Traveled) Lead to Rome

All Roads Lead To Rome

Legendary mathematician Paul Erdos liked to talk about the perfect proofs of mathematical theorems maintained by God. In [1], six different proofs are given to the infinity of prime numbers. Unlike mathematical proofs which are mentally reproducible objects, signal processing researchers can have an intimate discussion with God by creating computational algorithms which are experimentally repro...

All roads do not lead to Rome.

REGIONAL anesthesia has evolved in recent years from a technique into an art, practiced by some pioneering anesthesiologists. As with any art form, regional anesthesia has obtained a level of complexity not seen before. Until recently, regional anesthesia was used by a select group, using sophisticated wording and techniques that prohibited its widespread implementation. However, with the devel...

All roads lead to Rome, even in African savannah elephants--or do they?

Polansky et al.'s [1] investigation of the movement behaviour of African savan-nah elephants uses advanced technology to track precise movement patterns of the species across large spatial scales. Their findings, specifically the direct movement trajectories taken by these elephants to access waterholes, are suggestive of spatial memory strategies as observed in humans. Polansky et al. importan...

Rational heme protein design: all roads lead to Rome.

Heme proteins are among the most abundant and important metalloproteins, exerting diverse biological functions including oxygen transport, small molecule sensing, selective C-H bond activation, nitrite reduction, and electron transfer. Rational heme protein designs focus on the modification of the heme-binding active site and the heme group, protein hybridization and domain swapping, and de nov...
