In response to "Naturopathy: A Critical Appraisal,"[1] it is clear from the numerous cited official supporters of licensed naturopathic medicine (such as the White House Commission, The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, WebMD, the IntelliHealth Harvard Medical School venture, etc.) and by the ongoing passage of legislation for naturopathic physicians, that naturopathic...

Structural biology at hard X-ray free-electron lasers is evolving rapidly beyond the experimental styles long established at storage ring sources. The comprehensive review by John Spence [IUCrJ (2017), 4, 322-339] provides magisterial oversight of recent developments.

Let In,k (respectively, Jn,k) be the number of involutions (respectively, fixed-point free involutions) of {1, . . . , n} with k descents. Motivated by Brenti’s conjecture which states that the sequence In,0, In,1, . . . , In,n−1 is log-concave, we prove that the two sequences In,k and J2n,k are unimodal in k, for all n. Furthermore, we conjecture that there are nonnegative integers an,k such t...

Does familiarity promote attraction? Prior research has generally suggested that it does, but a recent set of studies by Norton, Frost, and Ariely (2007) challenged that assumption. Instead, they found that more information about another person, when that information was randomly selected from lists of trait adjectives, using a trait evaluation paradigm, promoted perceptions of dissimilarity an...
