The rapid deployment of privacy-destroying technologies by governments and businesses threatens to make informational privacy obsolete. The first part of this article describes a range of current technologies to which the law has yet to respond effectively. These include: routine collection of transactional data, growing automated surveillance in public places, deployment of facial recognition ...

Patients with migraine often have substantial disabilities. US federal law provides protections for disabled Americans. This discussion provides information regarding the disability rights of patients with transformed migraine.

Let 2 ≤ cardX < ω and X is equipped with discrete topology. We prove that S ⊆ X is of second category if and only if for each f : ω → ⋃ n∈ω X n there exists a sequence {an}n∈ω belonging to S such that for infinitely many i ∈ ω the infinite sequence {ai+n}n∈ω extends the finite sequence f(i). Theorem 1 yields information about sets S ⊆ X with the following property (2): (2) for each infinite J ⊆...

Problematic issues are raised by the expressed intention of the European Commission to promote greater awareness on the part of scientists in the “European Research Area” about intellectual property rights and their uses in the context of “Internet intensive research collaborations.” Promoting greater awareness and encouraging more systematic usage of IRP protections are logically distinct, but...

Unification of logic variables instantly connects present and future observations of their value, independently of their location in the data areas of the runtime system. The paper extends this property to “interclausal logic variables”, an easy to implement Prolog extension that supports instant global information exchanges without dynamic database updates. We illustrate their usefulness with ...

27 Twitty 1940; Nussbaum 1969). Our observations suggest that hyporheic zones might provide important and not previously recognized habitats for amphibians in intermittent headwater streams. Additional sampling is needed to better characterize hyporheic use by Dicamptodon and other stream amphibians such as the torrent salamanders (Rhyacotriton spp.). Better information notwithstanding, managem...

In this article are presented the basic principles of the numerical protections used for protecting the high-voltage electric lines (110 kV). Is achieved a study for implementing a numerical distance protection DIPA 100, for a high-voltage line (an example from practice). For the numerical relay, is shown the protection characteristic of DIPA 100, characteristics of operation to faults ‘phase-p...

In response to criticism of ethical review of a South African clinical trial, we contrast aspects of the United States Common Rule with South African research ethics requirements. In the USA the Common Rule does not apply to all health research and allows many exemptions from ethics review and waivers of informed consent. At a structural level research ethics review in South Africa is in many c...
