Letters, we've got letters...

So, you want to write a letter to the editor? A recent editorial by Golub in JAMA prompted us to outline more fully our vision of Annals of Emergency Medicine’s Correspondence section and its place within the journal and the peer review process. Like most peer-reviewed publications, Annals of Emergency Medicine contains a correspondence section, commonly known as Letters to the Editor. Journals...

Introducing the New Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Computer Architecture Letters

A committee chaired by Professor Paolo Montuschi conducted the search process for the new EIC. The position had been advertised in Computer, on the Web, and via other media. Several outstanding candidates were considered and the committee presented to the IEEE Computer Society Publications Board in May 2009 its recommendation in favor of Dr. Skadron. At the end of the process, Dr. Kathy Land, 2...

The Evolution of Urban Zoning from Conventional to Form Based Codes; Introducing Non-Euclidean Zoning Techniqueschniques

Zoning has always been one of the basic tools of land use control available. Zoning is the regulation and restriction of land uses according to a predetermined plan. This paper will present a look at conventional zoning, its origins, the evolution of the zoning, and the scope of zoning types. Regardless of the varieties, most zoning codes can be classified into at least one of the following bro...

LETTERS Evidence for Male-Driven Evolution in Drosophila

In several vertebrate taxa studied to date, mutation rates are higher in males than females (male-driven evolution). The male-to-female mutation rate (a) can be estimated by contrasting DNA divergence data at X-linked, Y-linked, and autosomal loci. Previous studies in Drosophila, comparing X-linked and autosomal divergence, have found no evidence for male-driven evolution in this genus. Here, I...
