Less is more: Limited fractionation yields stronger gels for pea proteins

When more is less: Limited consideration

There is well-established evidence that decision makers consistently fail to consider all available options. Instead, they restrict attention to only a subset of alternatives and then undertake a more detailed analysis of this reduced set. This systematic lack of consideration of available options can lead to a “more is less” effect, where excess of options can be welfare-reducing for a decisio...

Less Is More: How Reduced Activity Reflects Stronger Recognition

The mechanisms of recognition involve reductions of activity in the medial temporal lobe. This preview discusses recent fMRI and MEG data from Gonsalves et al. (this issue of Neuron) that provide some of the strongest evidence to date demonstrating that reduced medial temporal activity is correlated with stronger recognition of items in humans. This result provides an important test of theories...

Less is more… (more or less…).

In April 1981 Xerox introduced the Star 8010 workstation, the first commercial system with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the first to use the “desktop” metaphor to organize a user’s interactions with the computer. Despite the perception of huge progress, from the perspective of design and usage models, there has been precious little progress in the intervening years. In the tradition of ...

Getting More for Less: When Downsizing in Honors Yields Growth

Less Is More, More the Merrier, or More From Less?

P hysicians deal with uncertainty all the time and chest pain in the emergency department (ED) is a typical example. Traditionally, coronary artery disease (CAD), pulmonary embolism (PE), and aortic dissection can present as chest pain, and the consequences of a missed diagnosis can be devastating, with the potential for rapid deterioration, and serious risk of morbidity and mortality. Moreover...
