Di-2-ethylhexylphthalate May Be a Natural Product, Rather than a Pollutant

MAP3K1 May be a Promising Susceptibility Gene for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in an Iranian Population

Considering that MAPK (mitogen- activated protein kinase) signaling pathway has an important role in the progression of inflammatory cytokine secretion in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we have recently investigated the reported genetic polymorphism from genome wide association study in MAP3K1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1) in diabetes as an important member of MAPK signal...

Reversed Priming Effects May Be Driven by Misperception Rather than Subliminal Processing

A new paradigm for investigating whether a cognitive process is independent of perception was recently suggested. In the paradigm, primes are shown at an intermediate signal strength that leads to trial-to-trial and inter-individual variability in prime perception. Here, I used this paradigm and an objective measure of perception to assess the influence of prime identification responses on Stro...

The dairy fat paradox: Whole dairy products may be healthier than we thought

Breaking RSA May Be Easier Than Factoring

We provide evidence that breaking low-exponent rsa cannot be equivalent to factoring integers. We show that an algebraic reduction from factoring to breaking low-exponent rsa can be converted into an e cient factoring algorithm. Thus, in e ect an oracle for breaking rsa does not help in factoring integers. Our result suggests an explanation for the lack of progress in proving that breaking rsa ...

Thinking may be more than computing.

The uncomputable parts of thinking (if there are any) can be studied in much the same spirit that Turing (1950) suggested for the study of its computable parts. We can develop precise accounts of cognitive processes that, although they involve more than computing, can still be modelled on the machines we call ‘computers’. In this paper, I want to suggest some ways that this might be done, using...
