When will the evidence catch up with clinical practice?

Will the Real Evidence-Based Practice Please Stand Up? Teaching the Process of Evidence-Based Practice to the Helping Professions

‘‘Evidence-based practice’’ (EBP) is in danger of becoming a catchphrase for anything that is done with clients that can somehow be linked to an empirical study, regardless of the study’s quality, competing evidence, or consideration of clients’ needs. The EBP process, on the other hand, involves a well-built practice question, an efficient search for best evidence, a critical appraisal of that...

Genetic testing, physicians and the law: will the tortoise ever catch up with the hare?

The unknowns of cognitive enhancement Can science and policy catch up with practice ?

23 OCTOBER 2015 • VOL 350 ISSUE 6259 379 crystal momentum space. This, however, is not important, as a similar effect should be observed in Weyl semimetals, where opposite-chirality fermions exist at distinct points in momentum space. The way that the chiral anomaly manifests in Na 3 Bi is through magnetoresistance (a dependence of the electrical resistance of the material on an applied magneti...

When is it Fuel Efficient for a Heavy Duty Vehicle to Catch Up With a Platoon?

Vehicle platooning has in recent years become an important research field for the vehicle industry. By establishing a platoon of heavy duty vehicles, the fuel consumption can be reduced for the follower vehicles due to the slipstream effect. However, as vehicles are scattered on the road driving by themselves, coordination amongst the vehicles is required. In this paper we study the problem of ...

Playing Catch-up with Iterated Exponentials

Suppose that we have two animals that make the same number of strides per minute, but one of them makes larger strides than the other. If the strides of the smaller animal (the prey) have length a, and those of the larger animal (the predator) have length b, it is easy to see that a persistent predator will always be able to catch up with its prey. Let us assume that the prey starts one step ah...
