How Pure is PURE? Dietary Lessons Learned and Not Learned From the PURE Trials

Accessing Functional Aspects with Pure SQL - Lessons Learned

Functional aspects, known as cross-cutting concerns in software engineering, embody the extension of a conceptual schema by functionality which is beyond the intrinsic business logic. The support of functional aspects in a modularized way is the purpose of aspect-oriented data management. The present paper gives a review of this paradigm and describes the experiences of accessing the correspond...

Lessons from the PURE study

The Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study is an investigator initiated programme to assess the health of more than 600 communities selected from 17 countries. Three high-income countries, seven middle-income and seven low-income countries are taking part. As the name suggests, PURE also looks at differences between rural and urban communities. It’s a massive undertaking which is sta...

The Complement of a D-Tree is Pure Shellable

Pure Genes, Pure Genius

The 2012 Albert Lasker Special Achievement Award in Medical Science will be shared by Donald Brown and Tom Maniatis for their scientific work leading to the purification and study of single genes by physical and molecular biological methodologies. Brown and Maniatis are also recognized for their extraordinary commitment and generosity in promoting the careers of young scientists. The impact of ...

Why Pure Quantum Theory Is Not Enough

The theory of KdV equations allows to construct examples of physically different canonical structures for the same Hamilton operator. These examples are unproblematic in pilot wave and dynamical collapse theories, which define a physically distinguished configuration space Q, and in the Copenhagen interpretation, which identifies the canonical operators with classical descriptions of the corres...
