Have “Right” and “Wrong” One Meaning for All Mankind?

Diabetes: Have We Got It All Wrong?

In this “clinical” contribution to the Bench to Clinic Symposia, we will show data to support the hypothesis that fasting hyperinsulinemia is the initial underlying cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and that the remission of the disease following bariatric surgery may be due to the correction of hyperinsulinemia. The intent of this article is to elicit critical thinking about the pathoph...

Do Left and Right have Temporal Meaning?

space and time, which, strictly speaking, is not the same as a spatial conception of time. We clearly benefit from studying how people take their understanding of sequence from reading/writing and apply it to other instances of sequence. A next step will be to determine which aspects of the LR or RL configurations are meaningful and what they mean. Núñez and Sweetser (2006) could say that a ges...

A meta-analysis of studies published between 1990 and 2006 showed that in adults, obesity prevalence increased from 13 to 32% between the 1960s and 2004. Currently, 66% of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. The incidence of diabetes is increasing and afflicting new populations including children anddeveloping societies. Changes in obesity pre...

Testing heuristics: We have it all wrong

The competitive nature of most algorithmic experimentation is a source of problems that are all too familiar to the research community It is hard to make fair comparisons between algorithms and to assemble realistic test problems Competitive testing tells us which algorithm is faster but not why Because it requires polished code it consumes time and energy that could be spent doing more experim...
