Contraception as a Health Insurance Right: What Comes Next?

where do we stand and what comes next?

Physiology education today: what comes next?

As we planned the articles in this special section, I began thinking about how physiology education has changed in recent years. In many ways, the teaching of physiology has been reflected in its textbooks. Until the early 1980s, those books were mostly descriptive text, with only a few simple line drawings. Contrast that with the physiology textbooks of today, especially at the undergraduate l...

After Hard Drives — What Comes Next ?

There are numerous emerging nonvolatile memory technologies, which have been proposed as being capable of replacing hard disk drives (HDDs). In this paper, the prospects for these alternative technologies to displace HDDs in 2020 are analyzed. In order to compare technologies, projections were made of storage density and performance in year 2020 for both hard disks and the alternative technolog...

Genetics of RA susceptibility, what comes next?

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been used to great effect to identify genetic susceptibility loci for complex disease. A series of GWAS and meta-analyses have informed the discovery of over 100 loci for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In common with findings in other autoimmune diseases the lead signals for the majority of these loci do not map to known gene sequences. In order to reali...

1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , . . . What comes next ?

immediately follows from the commutativity of integers. For n = 2 the corresponding identity (x1 + x 2 2)(y 2 1 + y 2 2) = (x1y1 + x2y2) 2 + (x1y2 − x2y1). is not so trivial and has been used by many mathematicians. Diophantos used it sometime between 2nd to 4th century but maybe even he was not the first. The corresponding identity for four squares (x1 + x 2 2 + x 2 3 + x 2 4)(y 2 1 + y 2 2 + ...
