When linguistics meets computer science: Stylometry and professional discourse

When Science Meets Religion

Computer Science Meets Medical Science

In the past 20–30 years at least two technical advances have made quantification in pathology at a large scale possible. At the time the computing power of affordable computers increased, interest to deploy tasks emerged that were previously very laborious to perform. Combined with digital camera systems, many new possibilities became available. Examples of such measurements that were previousl...

Animal clocks: when science meets nature.

Daily rhythms of physiology and behaviour are governed by an endogenous timekeeping mechanism (a circadian 'clock'), with the alternation of environmental light and darkness synchronizing (entraining) these rhythms to the natural day-night cycle. Our knowledge of the circadian system of animals at the molecular, cellular, tissue and organismal levels is remarkable, and we are beginning to under...

BEZ235: When Promising Science Meets Clinical Reality

In the July 2016 issue of The Oncologist, Carlo et al. report the results of a phase I clinical trial [1] of BEZ235 in patients with advancedrenal cell carcinoma(RCC).BEZ235 isadualpan-class PI3K and mTOR inhibitor currently undergoing phase I/II clinical trials as a single agent or in combination in solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. The authors are to be congratulated for reportingthe...

Toward Psychoinformatics: Computer Science Meets Psychology

The present paper provides insight into an emerging research discipline called Psychoinformatics. In the context of Psychoinformatics, we emphasize the cooperation between the disciplines of psychology and computer science in handling large data sets derived from heavily used devices, such as smartphones or online social network sites, in order to shed light on a large number of psychological t...
