How Can We Observe and Describe Chaos?

There exist several trials to describe chaos appeared in classical or quantum dynamical systems [?]. One of the present authors introduced Information Dynamics(ID for short) [18] as a frame to discuss complexity and chaos appeared in various fields, in which he tried to find a common basis by synthesizing the state change (dynamics) and the complexity associated with dynamical systems. Since th...

How Far do We Get Using Machine Learning Black-Boxes?

With several good research groups actively working in machine learning (ML) approaches, we have now the concept of self-containing machine learning solutions that oftentimes work out-ofthe-box leading to the concept of ML black-boxes. Although it is important to have such blackboxes helping researchers to deal with several problems nowadays, it comes with an inherent problem increasingly more e...

Meningococcal serogroup C conjugate vaccination in Canada: how far have we progressed? How far do we have to go?

Since routine meningococcal C conjugate vaccination was introduced into Canada in 2002, there have been a large regional variation in the routine programs, changes to the timing of the infant series in some provinces, and wide differences in catch-up programs. As immunization is viewed as a provincial responsibility, less attention has been paid to determining national coverage rates and the di...

Fluctuating asymmetry and animal welfare: how far are we? And how far should we go?

In the associated review, published in this issue of the Journal, Møller and Manning (2003) propose measures of developmental instability, primarily fluctuating asymmetry, for the assessment of animal welfare in agricultural practice. They see the advantages of fluctuating asymmetry in that it provides a single measure of organismal health that ‘‘can be used in all kinds of organisms including ...
