Does the Growing chick Require Grit?

TMF growing pains require growing support.

“In 2003, we had 119 total new identifications,” Todd said, referring to the number of physicians identified as candidates for PHP assistance. “That number rose to 196 in 2004 and through the first six months of 2005, we have had 103 identifications. Our needs are continuing to grow, and one of the biggest changes – a real plus – is we’re getting more self-referrals because physicians are feeli...

Does Salvaging the Environment Require Economic Growth

We examine the determinants of environmental quality by using carbon dioxide emission levels as a proxy for environmental degradation. Our confirmatory, but different approach to analyzing Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) patterns in the data yield results that do not always agree with those found in the literature, which itself has no conclusive answer as to whether an EKC exists. We find tha...

Does intelligence require a body?

Our brain controls our body—every movement we make is guided by neuronal activity. But how about vice versa? Does the body influence our brain; does it have an impact on how we think? This question might seem odd. We usually stick to a simple ‘sense– think–act’ paradigm: we hear the phone ring (sense), we recognize that we should answer it (think) and grab the receiver (act). This is a one-way ...

Does Privacy Require True Randomness?

Most cryptographic primitives require randomness (for example, to generate their secret keys). Usually, one assumes that perfect randomness is available, but, conceivably, such primitives might be built under weaker, more realistic assumptions. This is known to be true for many authentication applications, when entropy alone is typically sufficient. In contrast, all known techniques for achievi...
