Humans, geometric similarity and the Froude number: is ‘‘reasonably close’’ really close enough?
Understanding locomotor energetics is imperative, because energy expended during locomotion, a requisite feature of primate subsistence, is lost to reproduction. Although metabolic energy expenditure can only be measured in extant species, using the equations of motion to calculate mechanical energy expenditure offers unlimited opportunities to explore energy expenditure, particularly in extinc...
متن کاملClose Is Not Enough
Is membrane fusion an essentially passive or an active process? It could be that fusion proteins simply need to pin two bilayers together long enough, and the bilayers could do the rest spontaneously. Or, it could be that the fusion proteins play an active role after pinning two bilayers, exerting force in the bilayer in one or another way to direct the fusion process. To distinguish these alte...
متن کاملClose, but not close enough
The most recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommend primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as the preferred treatment for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) whenever it is available within 90–120 min of the first medical contact [1]. However, timing of symptom onset appears to be hard to adjudicate precisely, and 'ischaemic time' thereby usually e...
متن کاملDetermining Relevance: Close Enough is Good Enough
Humans exhibit characteristic success in considering what is relevant in their cognitive tasks. Yet understanding how relevance is determined in cognition remains a problem. This paper seeks to make headway on this problem. The relevance problem is first introduced. Sperber and Wilson’s influential theory of relevance is then discussed, but dismissed as inadequate. Some conditions are identifie...
متن کاملBalanced Stable Marriage: How Close is Close Enough?
The Balanced Stable Marriage problem is a central optimization version of the classic Stable Marriage problem. Here, the output cannot be an arbitrary stable matching, but one that balances between the dissatisfaction of the two parties, men and women. We study Balanced Stable Marriage from the viewpoint of Parameterized Complexity. Our “above guarantee parameterizations” are arguably the most ...
