The development of whole-slide imaging has paved the way for digitizing of glass slides that are the basis for surgical pathology. This transformative technology has changed the landscape in research applications and education but despite its tremendous potential, its adoption for clinical use has been slow. We review the various niche applications that initiated awareness of this technology, p...

A brief qualitative mapping is given between austenite, tweed and twinned phases of martensite alloys and corresponding paramagnetic, spin glass and periodic phases in spin glass alloys. ‡ This paper is dedicated to John Pendry in celebration of his 65th birthday. § Permanent address A Simple Spin Glass Perspective on Martensitic Shape-memory Alloys 2

The density of optical glass varies from 2.39 for N-BK10 to 6.03 for SF66. In most cases glasses with higher densities also have higher refractive indices (e.g. SF type glasses). The density is mainly determined by the chemical composition of the glass. To a small amount the density is influenced by the annealing conditions of the glass near the transformation temperature. Due to the thermal ex...

KENNEALLY: The future, said the science fiction author William Gibson, is already here. It’s just not evenly distributed. And Gibson also said that the problem with the future is you can’t Google it. Now, we’ve all seen the Google Glass, but you can’t Google the future, although I did try to do that this morning. On my Google, the first result page was the bio for a rapper named Future. (laught...

An entire potpourri of ideas is listed from the past decades of Computer Science and Computer Technology. Widely acclaimed at their time, many have lost in splendor and brilliance under today’s critical scrutiny. We try to find reasons. Some of the ideas are almost forgotten. But we believe that they are worth recalling, not the least because one must try to learn from the past, be it for the s...

The LATEX 2ε class slides used special fonts whose readability was exceptional. However, despite being part of the TEX system, they were not particularly efficient where mathematics was concerned. Since the time the LATEX3 Team abandoned slides, they have almost disappeared. This article describes the modifications and enhancements made to revive these historical fonts, and explains the package...

A multiple habituation paradigm was used to determine whether 10--12-month-old infants were able to discriminate between visual arrays which differed only in their numerosity (2 vs. 3, 3, vs. 4, or 4 vs. 5 items). 96 infants were tested in one of two conditions. In the heterogeneous condition, infants were habituated to a series of slides in which only the number of items remained invariant, wh...

Techniques that enable information recorded during a presentation to be accessed or retrieved using a handout printed for the presentation. A user can select one or more items, such as slides, printed on the handout and access portions of the recorded information when the user-selected items were presented or displayed. Different types of information may be accessed. Different actions may also ...

The general-case glass ceiling hypothesis states that not only is it more difficult for women than for men to be promoted up levels of authority hierarchies within workplaces but also that the obstacles women face relative to men become greater as they move up the hierarchy. Gender-based discrimination in promotions is not simply present across levels of hierarchy but is more intense at higher ...

This paper explores the viability of the lecture as a teaching strategy for large groups in light of the various elements that influence the choice of method for teaching large groups. The method employed in this paper draws on the Brunswick Lens Model and Foucauldian discourse to evaluate the dominant pedagogical perspective of the past to translate the perspective into the current view of the...
