Once We Know That a Polynomial Mapping Is Rectifiable, We Can Algorithmically Find a Rectification

It is known that some polynomial mappings φ : Ck → Cn are recti able in the sense that there exists a polynomial mapping α : Cn → Cn whose inverse is also polynomial and for which α(φ(z1, . . . , zk)) = (z1, . . . , zk, 0, . . . , 0) for all z1, . . . , zk. In many cases, the existence of such a recti cation is proven indirectly, without an explicit construction of the mapping α. In this paper,...

Why Believe That There Is a God?

This article presents an argument for the existence of God, showing that the evident phenomena are best explained by supposing that a God causes them. The argument is based on the inductive force of four very evident general phenomena: that there is a physical Universe; that it is governed by very simple natural laws; that those laws are such as to lead to the existence of human bodies; and tha...

Sufficient blood, safe blood: can we have both?

The decision in September 2011 in the UK to accept blood donations from non-practicing men who have sex with men (MSM) has received significant public attention. Will this rule change substantially boost the number of blood donations or will it make our blood less safe? Clearly, most European countries have a blood procurement problem. Fewer young people are donating, while the population is ag...

Neurorehabilitation: are we doing all that we can?

Occupational therapists have many intervention tools available for working with clients having a neurological injury; however, some of the most innovative and effective methods have not gained acceptance by many clinicians. Emerging research and new technologies provide occupational therapists with a multitude of treatment strategies and novel devices, but incorporation of those tools into clin...
