'If you chance to have in Cure an Apostume, that by the malignitie of the humors, or other evill disposition of the body changeth itselfe into a rebellious Ulcer . .. or that such an Ulcer come to thy hand from another Artist, be not out of hope to cure the same. For if Nature be not utterly thy enemy . . . proceeding as followeth, thou shalt be able to cure the disease, by the helpe of God.' J...

The thickness of wooden top plates is of considerable importance to luthiers. However, the geometry of an assembled instrument makes thickness measurements difficult using standard techniques. Here we describe a device that measures the thickness of a top plate by measuring the magnetic field produced by a small rare-earth magnet located on the inside of the instrument. The magnetic field is me...

This paper focuses on the concept of 'connection' in the Industrial Network Approach. The concept of 'triad' has been proposed in order to overcome 'dyadic reductionism'. However, use of 'triads' seems to impose some limitations on further theory development. The concept of 'serial tetrads' is proposed in order to avoid 'triadic reductionism'. PROLOGUE In 1923, the religion philosopher Martin B...

253 news & views reactions. Furthermore, it was found that AB-functionalized building blocks were prone to intramolecular cyclization on the DNA template, whereas much better intermolecular coupling efficiences were achieved by using mixtures of AA-and BB-modified building blocks. A range of coupling chemistries were explored, including amine acylation, reductive amination, hydrazine formation ...

Web image search today is mostly keyword-based and explores the content surrounding the image. Searching for images related to a certain location quickly shows that Web images typically do not reveal their explicit relation to an actual geographic position. The geographic semantics of Web images are either not available at all or hidden somewhere within the the Web pages’ content. Our spatial s...

Such differences in white blood cell (WBC) count could clearly impact on disease course. Ahuja and colleagues previously reported that DARC-null individuals show increased susceptibility to HIV infection, but slower HIV disease progression once infected. 2 In this issue of Blood, Kulkarni et al examine associations among WBC count, DARC genotype, and survival in a large natural history cohort o...

Centrality measures have been defined to quantify the importance of a node in complex networks. The relative importance of a node can be measured using its centrality rank based on the centrality value. In the present work, we predict the degree centrality rank of a node without having the entire network. The proposed method uses degree of the node and some network parameters to predict its ran...
