Colton discusses three conditions for attributing creativity to a system: appreciation, imagination, and skill. We describe an original computer system (called DARCI) that is designed to eventually produce images through creative means. We show that DARCI has already started gaining appreciation, and has even demonstrated imagination, while skill will come later in her development.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics, Evolution, and Probability Does evolution violate the second law of thermodynamics? Creationists say yes. This article describes in detail why the creationists are wrong. Attributing False Attributes to Thermodynamics Creationists have created a 'voodoo' thermodynamics based solely on metaphors in order to convince those not familiar with real thermodynamics th...

The clinical measurement of otoacoustic emissions can assist in differentiating between peripheral and central explanations for deficits in speech understanding. We present audiometric and distortion-product emission data in a case with sensorineural hearing loss and a deficit in speech understanding . The presence of evoked emissions argues against attributing the speech audiometric loss to co...

Pillarenes and calixarenes showed obvious inhibition of HPV16 L1 pentamer formation via their selective binding to Arg and Lys residues at the monomer interface, which was reversible after the release of cyclic arenes. Pillarenes are more effective than calixarenes in terms of the inhibition efficiency, attributing to the different kinetics and binding affinity.

A relationship between teething and fever was sought by examining mothers' reports of the 20 days before the eruption of the first tooth in 46 healthy infants. Twenty infants had a fever of greater than 37.5 degrees C on day 0 compared with seven infants (or fewer) from day 19 to day 4. The danger of attributing fever to teething is emphasised.

We report a case of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy caused by coalworkers' pneumoconiosis with progressive massive fibrosis (PMF). This illustrates that PMF alone may be added to the list of lesions which can cause recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. However, efforts should always be made to exclude more common causes, in particular bronchogenic carcinoma, before attributing the palsy to PMF.
