Cycling and the middle-aged man: more urodynamics than aerodynamics?

1184 CMAJ, October 21, 2014, 186(15) © 2014 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors Last summer, for the third year in a row, more than 4000 people (mostly middle-aged men) pedalled their road bikes from downtown Vancouver to Whistler, BC, a whopping 122 km, uphill. If anything, the Whistler GranFondo (Italian for “big ride”) is evidence that cycling is soaring in popularity and a sure cu...

Surprises in Aperiodic Diffraction

Mathematical diffraction theory is concerned with the diffraction image of a given structure and the corresponding inverse problem of structure determination. In recent years, the understanding of systems with continuous and mixed spectra has improved considerably. Moreover, the phenomenon of homometry shows various unexpected new facets. Here, we report on some of the recent results in an exem...
