What Exactly Is Software?
Unlike oil, steel or paper, software is an intangible commodity. This elusive quality makes computer programs difficult to quantify Modern society has become increasingly reliant on software—and thankfully so. Computer programs routinely execute operations that would be extraordinarily laborious for an unaided person—handling payrolls, recording bank transactions, shuffling airline reservations...
متن کاملWhat exactly is synthetic biology?
Artificial everything: Steven Benner’s group made the first artificial gene encoding a protein and has since then moved on to create a whole range of non-natural molecular biology ingredients. (Photo: courtesy of Steven Benner.) Life is notoriously difficult to define. As our chances of discovering extraterrestrial life are gradually improving, astrobiology is still struggling to define what on...
متن کاملWhat Exactly Is Patient Safety?
We articulate an intellectual history and a definition, description, and model of patient safety. We define patient safety as a discipline in the health care professions that applies safety science methods toward the goal of achieving a trustworthy system of health care delivery. We also define patient safety as an attribute of health care systems that minimizes the incidence and impact of adve...
متن کاملCluster Study . Xxiv . Stellar Radial - Velocity Measurements in Ngc 6819
We present the current results from our ongoing radial-velocity survey of the intermediate-age (2.4 Gyr) open cluster NGC 6819. Using both newly observed and other available photometry and astrometry we define a primary target sample of 1454 stars that includes main-sequence, subgiant, giant, and blue straggler stars, spanning a magnitude range of 11≤V≤16.5 and an approximate mass range of 1.1 ...
متن کاملRadial velocity planet detection biases at the stellar rotational period
Future generations of precise radial velocity (RV) surveys aim to achieve sensitivity sufficient to detect Earth mass planets orbiting in their stars’ habitable zones. A major obstacle to this goal is astrophysical RV noise caused by active areas moving across the stellar limb as a star rotates. In this paper, we quantify how stellar activity impacts exoplanet detection with radial velocities a...
