Portable Informaticm — Is the Dream Becoming a Reality?

Number16 In 1945, Vannevar Bush wrote an article in the A t[antic Mon(h/y which has become a classic in information science. Bush, who helped pioneer computer science, called on American scientists to redirect their war research efforts toward the problems of peace. Encouraged by science's advances in controlling the material environment, Bush was optimistic that the same ingenuity could be app...

Israeli-Arab Relations; from Dream to Reality

Abstract:This study intends to review Israel's efforts to increase political and economic relations with Arab countries. It is clear that most Arab countries did not have any ties with Israel since the 1980s, and only two Egyptian states had established political relations with Israel since the 1973 war. But over the past few years, and especially after the start of the third millennium, ...

A vision becoming reality.

Non-animal science in toxicology and health research has been progressing for decades, but only now is it being seen widely as advanced science. The emergence of novel human biology-based tools and models, combined with legislative and regulatory change, a 21st century concept for toxicology, continuing failures in the drug pipeline, and systematic critiques of animal models, have created a piv...

Reality check for American dream.

Memristive synapses are becoming reality

A synapse is essentially a programmable wire used to connect groups of neurons together. The human brain possesses approximately 10 billion neurons, each of which has direct synaptic connections to approximately 10,000 neurons. Neuromorphic computers aimed at mimicking biological computation, and which have numbers of neurons and synapses approaching biological scale, can be modeled with superc...
