Do Not Kill Unfeasible Individuals

Any implementation of an evolutionary algorithm for a particular problem must address several important issues; these include genetic representation of solutions to the problem and genetic operators that would alter the genetic composition of offspring during the reproduction process. However, very often (in the presence of nontrivial, problem-specific constraints) it is also necessary to devel...

Cyber Can Kill and Destroy Too: Blurring Borders Between Conventional and Cyber Warfare

Cyberwarfare has become a fashionable topic in the last decade, partly because of the ever increasing sophistication of computer attacks, partly because of malicious actors setting their sight on industrial systems such as plants. Modern production systems are characterized by an IT-infrastructure controlling effects in the physical world. Such systems are called cyber-physical systems. In this...

Anidulafungin dosing during CRRT: do not underestimate adsorption!

Two recent papers in Critical Care discuss the use of echinocandins in general [1], and anidulafungin in particular [2], during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Being highly protein bound and predominantly nonrenally eliminated drugs, echinocandins are barely removed by convection and thus require no dose adjustment during CRRT. Based on scarce literature data, González de Molina an...
