In 1971, not only the theoretical and by definition already existing 'ideal memristor' concept was introduced, but a real memristor device was suggested on grounds of the already known real inductors. The latter is a scientifically significant hypothesis grounded in fundamental symmetries of basic physics, here electro-magnetism. 2008 claimed the discovery of the "missing memristor." Controvers...

Using the recently introduced universal computing model, called orchestrated machine, that represents computations in a dissipative environment, we consider a new kind of interpretation of Turing’s Imitation Game. In addition we raise the question whether the intelligence may show fractal properties. Then we sketch a vision of what robotic cars are going to do in the future. Finally we give the...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether high estimates of the burden of depression could be attributed to an overestimation of disability weights (reflecting more severe disability). METHODS We derived disability weights that were tailored to prevalence data. Empirical disability data from a Dutch community survey was used to describe three classes of severity of depression and their proportional pr...

"adipocere" we only find one publication which speaks of this change being observed in a warm country, i.e., " Eight cases of Saponification " by S. C. Mackenzie (.Indian Medical Gazette, 1889, XXIV, p. 42). The author was Police Surgeon at Calcutta, and claimed that during 9 years lie observed 8 cases of adipocere-formation in bodies of persons drowned in the Hooghlj^, or buried in damp soil. ...

Nearly a decade ago, The Lancet published the Neonatal Survival Series, with an ambitious call for integration of newborn care across the continuum of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health and nutrition (RMNCH). In this first of five papers in the Every Newborn Series, we consider what has changed during this decade, assessing progress on the basis of a systematic policy heuristic i...

The current research topic inquires: “Should we treat aging as a disease?” Yet, in this inquiry, the question “Can aging be considered a disease?” is secondary, while the more primary question really must be “Is aging treatable?” Paradoxically, the answer given to the second question largely determines the answer to the first. The perceived unchangeable, and hence untreatable, nature of aging i...

In the April number of the Gazette for the year 1897, can article appeared by Dr. H. F. Nuttall, headed "Has Adipocere been observed in India?" in which, after detailing the conditions under which it is observed in Europe, he epitomizes Dr. McKenzie's paper on adipocere and remarks: "It remains an open question what it was he observed and called saponification." He also throws out the suggestio...
