Can turnover go to zero?

Salmonella in poultry meat and eggs: can we go to a zero level?

Go , L Dberg's Zero-one Constants

Our interest is in the scenario when (  0), (  1) are nonzero and distinct; without loss of generality, we assume that (  0)  (  1). Let  (0 1) ⊆  consist of all functions  with (  0) = 0 and (  1) = 1. Let (01) ⊆  consist of all functions  with exactly one 0-point [of multiplicity0] and exactly one 1-point [of multiplicity 1]. Again, we focus on 0 6= 0...

In this issue of Blood, Morowski et al use a mouse model of thrombocytopenia to determine the lowest platelet count needed to support thrombosis in a range of thrombosis challenges.

Can Chimps Go It Alone?

Consider a smart chimpanzee named M from a tribe afflicted with a form of Alzheimer’s disease. Think of M as a logspace-bounded Turing machine. M can do simple things like integer arithmetic and matrix multiplication, but M turns sullen and calls for help when asked to perform seemingly equally simple tasks, such as simulating deterministic tree and dag automata. Is M acting difficult or is she...

Offshoring: What Can Go Wrong?

tens of thousands of miles from the home base—a client in the US offshoring IT work to a vendor in India or China, for example. Can it be done well? Offshoring has recently sustained much criticism, mainly over the issue of whether shipping IT work abroad is good for the US as a whole. I have written in that context as well, but my focus here is at the company level. Does it benefit a US firm t...
