Is safe surgery possible when resources are scarce?
The greatest burden of surgical disease exists in low- and middle-income countries, where the quality and safety of surgical treatment cause major challenges. Securing necessary and appropriate medical supplies and infrastructure remains a significant and under-recognised limitation to providing safe and high-quality surgical care in these settings. The majority of surgical instruments are sold...
متن کاملFecundity compromises attractiveness when pigments are scarce
Theory predicts that the trade-off between ornamentation and fecundity limits female attractiveness. However, there is little evidence on this theoretical trade-off and its proximate background. Our aim was to study whether pigment availability modulates this potential relationship in blue-footed booby females. We supplemented females with dietary carotenoids after laying the first egg and asse...
متن کاملTranslating with Scarce Resources
Current corpus-based machine translation techniques do not work very well when given scarce linguistic resources. To examine the gap between human and machine translators, we created an experiment in which human beings were asked to translate an unknown language into English on the sole basis of a very small bilingual text. Participants performed quite well, and debriefings revealed a number of...
متن کاملAre Safe Concurrency Libraries Possible?
There has been a significant effort over the past decade in creating concurrency libraries for a number of sequential programming languages, particularly for object-oriented ones such as C++ [BLL88], Eiffel [KB93], and Smalltalk [YT86]. While the goal is laudable, this discussion shows that obtaining concurrency solely through libraries is, in general, unattainable in both shared-memory and dis...
متن کاملCompetition for Scarce Resources
We show that the efficient allocation of production capacity can turn a competitive industry and downstream market into an imperfectly competitive one. Even though downstream firms have symmetric production technologies, the downstream industry structure will be symmetric only if capacity is sufficiently scarce. Otherwise it will be asymmetric, with one large “fat” capacityhoarding firm and a f...
