Regulating the creation of novel beings.

Bill C-13 , An Act respecting assisted human reproduction, proposes to regulate various elements of the creation of novel beings. Though the bill is directed primarily at the techniques and processes of human infertility intervention, it is concerned secondarily with some aspects of human embryo experimentation. The bill thus deals with the circumstances under which chimeraand hybrid-making wou...

Calcium orthophosphates and human beings

The historical development of a scientific knowledge on calcium orthophosphates from the 1770s until 1940 is described. Many forgotten and poorly known historical facts and approaches have been extracted from old publications and then they have been analyzed, systematized and reconsidered from the modern point of view. The chosen time scale starts with the earliest available studies of 1770s (t...

Nonexistence of Solutions In

Consider the KPP-type equation of the form ∆u+f (u) = 0, where f : [0, 1] → R + is a concave function. We prove for arbitrary dimensions that there is no solution bounded in (0, 1). The significance of this result from the point of view of probability theory is also discussed.
