The future, prayers, and lies

Therapeutic targeting in nanomedicine: the future lies in recombinant antibodies.

The unique chemical and functional properties of nanoparticles can be harnessed for the delivery of large quantities of various therapeutic biomolecules. Active targeting of nanoparticles by conjugating ligands that bind to target cells strongly facilitates accumulation, internalization into target cells and longer retention at the target site, with consequent enhanced therapeutic effects. Reco...

The Future of Sunscreens – What Lies Beyond SPF 50+?

Lies, damned lies and……….

The well-known quotation “There are lies, damned lies and statistics” suggests that statistics doesn’t have the greatest of reputations. Why is this? Certainly, statistics can be used to mislead, but logically “lies, damned lies and statistics” reflects high levels of statistical misunderstanding rather than indicating that statistics are inherently ‘bad’. In Bad Science, Ben Goldacre highlight...

Lies, Damn Lies and Measurements

This paper describes some of the more unusual phenomena associated with RF/microwave measurements that have been investigated by the author over the past twelve years. It has been found that, from some high profile publications, microwave measurements have been either performed in error or their results wrongly interpreted. Four categories have been identified and two examples from each are dis...

Lies , Damned Lies , and Coverage

Functional coverage is a key metric for establishing the overall completeness of a verification process; however, empirical evidence suggests that coverage models are often inaccurate, misleading and incomplete. This paper proposes that such coverage defects are extremely common and since coverage analysis tends to focus on holes, or missing coverage, rather than the accuracy of what is already...
