Graduate Education in Chemistry: More and More about Less and Less?

Less is more… (more or less…).

In April 1981 Xerox introduced the Star 8010 workstation, the first commercial system with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the first to use the “desktop” metaphor to organize a user’s interactions with the computer. Despite the perception of huge progress, from the perspective of design and usage models, there has been precious little progress in the intervening years. In the tradition of ...

Less Is More, More the Merrier, or More From Less?

P hysicians deal with uncertainty all the time and chest pain in the emergency department (ED) is a typical example. Traditionally, coronary artery disease (CAD), pulmonary embolism (PE), and aortic dissection can present as chest pain, and the consequences of a missed diagnosis can be devastating, with the potential for rapid deterioration, and serious risk of morbidity and mortality. Moreover...

More for Less - Getting More Clients by Broadcasting Less Data

Broadcasting is scalable in terms of served users but not in terms of served data volume. Additionally, waiting time deadlines may be difficult to uphold due to the data clutter, forcing the clients to flee the system. This work proposes a way of selecting subsets of the original data that ensure near-optimal service ratio. The proposed technique relies on the novel data compatibility distance,...

Towards More Capable and Less

Current surgical robotic systems in orthopaedics lack realistic pre-operative simulations and utilize invasive methods to register bone intra-operatively. A multidisciplinary group of researchers is addressing these deeciencies in the context of robotic cementless hip replacement surgery. In this paper we outline our current research progress and a road-map for the short-term future of our rese...
