Gifts from the Thunder Beings

Gifts from Exoplanetary Transits

The discovery of transiting extrasolar planets has enabled us a number of interesting stduies. Transit photometry reveals the radius and the orbital inclination of transiting planets, and thereby we can learn the true mass and the density of respective planets by the combined information of radial velocity measurements. In addition, follow-up observations of transiting planets such as secondary...

Accepting gifts from patients.

Appreciative patients often present their family physicians with gifts, an apparently simple act that can raise complex issues in the care relationship. There are no definitive regulations regarding accepting gifts from patients, and opposing views exist. Some believe physicians should never accept gifts because it might influence the standard of care or weaken the fiduciary relationship. Other...

iMeMex: Escapes from the Personal Information Jungle

Modern computer work stations provide thousands of applications that store data in >100.000 files on the file system of the underlying OS. To handle these files data processing logic is reinvented inside each application. This results in a jungle of data processing solutions and a jungle of data and file formats. For a user, it is extremely hard to manage information in this jungle. Most of all...

From the Heterogeneity Jungle to Systematic Benchmarking

One of the key challenges in the development of model transformations is the resolution of recurring semantic and syntactic heterogeneities. Thus, we provide a systematic classification of heterogeneities building upon a feature model that makes the interconnections between them explicit. On the basis of this classification, a set of benchmark examples was derived and used to evaluate current a...
