Doctor was “near to breaking point” when she exaggerated abuse

Evolution: When was life's first branch point?

A recent analysis of protein sequences from diverse organisms has estimated that all extant species share a common ancestor that lived only 2 billion years ago; but how can this be squared with the fossil evidence that complex cells existed up to 3.5 billion years ago?

Was the Watchmaker Blind? Or Was She One-Eyed?

The question whether evolution is blind is usually presented as a choice between no goals at all ('the blind watchmaker') and long-term goals which would be external to the organism, for example in the form of special creation or intelligent design. The arguments either way do not address the question whether there are short-term goals within rather than external to organisms. Organisms and the...

Fixed-Point Arithmetic in SHE Schemes

The purpose of this paper is to investigate fixed point arithmetic in ring-based Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption (SHE) schemes. We provide three main contributions: Firstly, we investigate the representation of fixed point numbers. We analyse the two representations from Dowlin et al, representing a fixed point number as a large integer (encoded as a scaled polynomial) versus a polynomial-based...
