atomizing of medicine into a series of separate problems, in which, as Jacopo frequently showed, equally opposed positions could be maintained with equal success. His successors faced with this impasse reverted to an ever closer scrutiny of the logical methods involved in reaching these conclusions. Dr Ottoson's conclusion goes far towards explaining the appeal in the sixteenth century of the c...

In this paper we study new algorithmic structures with DouglasRachford (DR) operators to solve convex feasibility problems. We propose to embed the basic two-set-DR algorithmic operator into the String-Averaging Projections (SAP) and into the Block-Iterative Projection (BIP) algorithmic structures, thereby creating new DR algorithmic schemes that include the recently proposed cyclic DouglasRach...

Therapeutic drugs and chemicals used in our bodies or in our environment must be guaranteed safe to the people who are exposed to them. Extensive procedures for screening and predicting toxicity have been developed in the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, drugs that are toxic to some subset of the population are not always identified by these procedures. About 30% of drug development failu...

demand response (dr) has many beneficiaries in the electricity market. there are independent players who are interested in dr, which include: transmission system owners, distributors, retailers, and aggregators. in this paper dr is introduced as a tradable commodity that can be exchanged between dr buyers and sellers in a pool-based market which is called demand response exchange (drx). drx ope...

Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and the benefit of IABP treatment on postoperative cardiac performance, mortality and morbidity and the optimal timing for its insertion for high risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery in a controlled prospective randomized manner. Material and Methods: This is a prospective study includes sixty randomized high-risk pa...

It is impossible to speak too highly of the various admirable and very practical contributions Ferguson made to the Society. They were, one and all, the result of patient research and, latterly, bore the fruits of his wide experience. His mind was a keen and critical one, and his literary style was most lucid and attractive. And now you will allow me to sound the personal note on this greatly b...

The n-localization property is preserved under the countable support iteration of suitably definable forcings. This solves a question of Ros lanowski and greatly simplifies the proofs in the area.
