I-14: Assisted Reproduction and Religion What Consideration Should Be and Should Not Be Relevant,

Several important issues are pertinent to an ethical discussion of the new technology today grouped under the name Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART). This is a moral imperative because each of us must decide what is to be considered ethically acceptable in assisted reproduction. Reflecting on the ethical dimension of ‘creating’ a new human life can play a major role in ensuring that in eac...

Visualization Techniques for Surveillance: Visualizing What Cannot Be Seen and Hiding What Should Not Be Seen

Introduction Video surveillance (closed-circuit television, CCTV) systems are becoming ubiquitous; you can hardly take a walk in a modern city center without being recorded by surveillance cameras, even less so inside shops and malls. A large shopping mall can have hundreds of cameras installed, a football stadium maybe one hundred. Typically, these cameras are connected to a control center, wh...

Simulating what cannot be simulated

The background to these notes is the expectation that mathematical modelling and simulation is going to play increasingly important role in the understanding of the organization and control of genetic-, metabolic-, and signalling pathways. I am going to argue that for modelling and simulation to help our understanding of cellular dynamics, the current practice of experimental design has to chan...

Proof That the Velocity of Photons Cannot Be Constant but Should Vary

It has been tried to prove: 1. The photons possess rest mass; 2. Since the electrons possess spin motion, the photons emitted from the orbiting electrons too should possess spin motion and their (photons) velocity should depend upon frequency of their spin motion ( ph w ); 3. The velocity of photons of infrared, visible, ultraviolet and higher frequency regions should also depend upon their ph ...
