The field of computer science has revolutionized every field of human endeavor. With the use of cleverly designed programs, computers have improved the quality and speed of productivity. Computers have become very useful machines, executing smart ideas rapidly. Artificial Intelligence seeks to take computing to further heights, building machines which do not just execute smart ideas, but think ...

Gastrointestinal promotility drugs stimulate smooth muscle contractions to enhance gastric emptying and small and large bowel transit. Currently available drug classes with prokinetic properties include antidopaminergic agents, serotonergic agents, and motilin-receptor agonists. Due to moderate prokinetic effects, poor symptomatic responses and the presence of adverse effects, there is a clear ...

Since shortly before the release of the 2009 Institute of Medicine report, Weight Gain During Pregnancy: Reexamining the Guidelines,1 there has been an explosion of research around the amount of weight a woman gains during her pregnancy. For the mother herself, the more weight she gains during pregnancy, the harder it is to return to her prepregnancy weight. Retaining more weight postpartum, es...

that presented by Dr. T.A. Sanborn in his editorial in this issue.1 I stake no claim to being correct, only different, because our different views derive not from facts but from uncertainties. I see two crucial uncertainties in laser angioplasty: which of the new interventional systems will be most effective, and will answers derived from peripheral vascular interventions apply to coronary arte...

In this article we present an overview on the state of the art in games solved in the domain of twoperson zero-sum games with perfect information. The results are summarized and some predictions for the near future are given. The aim of the article is to determine which game characteristics are predominant when the solution of a game is the main target. First, it is concluded that decision comp...

In this paper a short overview is given of the several FET-based sensor devices and the operational principle of the ISFET is summarized. Some of the shortcomings of the FET sensors were circumvented by an alternative operational mode, resulting in a device capable of acid/base concentration determination by coulometric titrant generation as well as in an original pH-static enzyme sensor. A mor...
