Charges for cataract surgery.

Dear Editor: Studies such as that carried out by He et al 1 are important to anyone interested in developing financially sustainable eye care services in less developed countries. We have studied acceptance of cataract surgery and willingness to pay for it in Tanzania and found interesting similarities and some differences in our population. As in China, those with the lowest visual acuity (VA)...

Empirical charges for chemoinformatics applications

Partial atomic charges describe the distribution of electron density in a molecule, and therefore they provide clues regarding the chemical behaviour of molecules. Atomic charges are frequently used in molecular modelling applications such as molecular dynamics, docking, conformational searches, binding site prediction, etc. Recently, partial atomic charges have also become popular chemoinforma...

Poincaré charges for chiral membranes

Using basic ideas of simplectic geometry, we find the covariant canonically conjugate variables, the commutation relations and the Poincaré charges for chiral superconducting membranes (with null currents ), as well as, we find the stress tensor for the theory under study.

The Psychology of Advocacy and the Advocacy of Psychology

This article addresses needs and opportunities for advocacy for the science, education and practice of psychology from the perspectives of three leaders within organized psychology, academia, and hospital practice. The authors make distinctions between knowledge transfer and knowledge translation as well as between lobbying and advocacy. They define proactive and reactive advocacy and draw atte...
