When a reference value makes all the difference
Dear Editor, I read with great interest the article by Webber and Barr on the ageand gender-dependent values of skeletal muscle mass in healthy children and adolescents [1].

The validity of any method of measurement depends not only on the appropriate choice of a certain method according to t...
متن کاملThe Difference All-Difference Makes
We perform a comprehensive theoretical and experimental analysis of the use of all-different constraints. We prove that generalized arc-consistency on such constraints lies between neighborhood inverse consistency and, under a simple restriction, path inverse consistency on the binary representation of the problem. By generalizing the arguments of Kondrak and van Beek, we prove that a search al...

Gregory Bateson’s famous saying about information can be looked upon as a good foundation of a Unified Theory of Information (UTI). Section one discusses the hard and the soft science approaches to information. It will be argued that a UTI approach needs to overcome the divide between these approaches and can do so by adopting an historical and logical account of information. Section two gives ...
متن کاملOutcome in aortic stenosis: when the flow makes the difference.
Aortic stenosis (AS) was first described as an isolated disease involving the aortic valve leaflets. However, in the past years, the concept has evolved with noteworthy changes, and now, AS is looked upon as a complex, ‘‘systemic’’ disease. Much of our current understanding regarding AS comes from past studies showing that patients with degenerative AS do not have a normal arterial function; th...
متن کاملProject Effort Estimation: Or, When Size Makes a Difference
The motivation for this work is derived from the current interest in speeding up development schedules. A key implication of the shift to more rapid development methods is the growing emphasis on fixed time and fixed effort delivered during such projects. However there appears to be little work that addresses the impacts of dealing with bound effort levels. The result of binding time and effort...
