“O pierlesse Poesye, where is then thy place?”: Locating Patronage in Spenser

Fish mutant, where is thy phenotype?

The field of genetics emerged as a study of the inheritance of desirable or otherwise interesting traits. Mutations were characterized as recessive or dominant, assigned to complementation groups, mapped, and finally, the affected genes were identified. By default, recessive mutations could only be isolated in genes that played an important role in the biological process of interest, be it pea ...

Cell death--where is thy sting?

If it's not there, where is it? Locating illusory conjunctions.

There is evidence that complex objects are decomposed by the visual system into features, such as shape and color. Consistent with this theory is the phenomenon of illusory conjunctions, which occur when features are incorrectly combined to form an illusory object. We analyzed the perceived location of illusory conjunctions to study the roles of color and shape in the location of visual objects...

Dear vasopressin, where is your place in septic shock?

Cardiovascular failure is one of the central therapeutic problems in patients with severe infection. Although norepinephrine is a potent and, in most cases, highly effective vasopressor agent, very high dosages leading to significant side effects can be necessary to stabilize advanced shock. As a supplementary vasopressor, arginine vasopressin can reverse hemodynamic failure and significantly d...

Component Based Development - Where is the Place for Formalization ?

A software component has a contract that specifies its properties and thus define conditions for its use. The contract is an obvious object for formalization. It could assist in conformance checking for manufactured components and in checking consistent use of them in a concrete system. However, our experience with development of a complex, software intensive system with heterogeneous component...
