Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis seems to be the place where man regained dominion over nature and at the center of this island we find Solomon’s House, a scientific society, effecting ‘all possible things’. But this unfinished work tells us very little about the composition, structure and selection procedure Bacon had in mind for his ideal society. Equally unclear is the reason why the projected a...

There has recently been much interest in approximation by linear combinations of functions taken from a redundant set 79. That is, the elements of 79 are not linearly independent. Perhaps the first example of this type was considered by Schmidt in 1907 [6] who considered the approximation of functions f ( x , y ) of two variables by bilinear forms ~-~tfl=lUi(X)Vi(y ) in L2([0,112). This problem...

Lui, W. Y., and Chang, W. K. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 643. Cytomegalovirus mononucleosis in Chinese infants. Two Chinese infants had cytomegalovirus inclusion disease presenting as persistent pneumonia and thrombocytopenic purpura, respectively. Both had lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, pneumonia, and more than 14% atypical lymphocytes in the peripheral blood at some st...

Cheng, Lui & Li inverted surface-wave phase-velocity maps from ambient noise to obtain crustal thickness for eastern Tibet and western Yangtze Craton. They applied a three steps procedure: in a first step, they collected the phase velocity maps and extrapolated the phase velocities into group velocities. In a second step, they performed a joint inversion of phase and group velocities using neur...

RÉSUMÉ. Les systèmes de médiation actuels permettent un accès transparent à un ensemble de sources de données hétérogènes. Le but de la personnalisation est de faciliter l’expression du besoin de l’utilisateur et lui permettre d’obtenir des informations pertinentes en exploitant au mieux ses préférences regroupées dans un profil. Dans un contexte de médiation, la personnalisation doit tenir com...

The genus Sciasmomyia Hendel is revised. Eight new species are proposed, including Sciasmonzyia decussata sp. nov. (China), S. leishanensis sp. nov. (China), S. longicurvata sp. nov. (China), S. longissimna sp. nov. (China), S. lui sp. nov. (China), S. quadricuspis sp. nov. (China), S. thaii sp. nov. (Vietnam), and S. tubata sp. nov. (China). The two previously known species, Sciasmomyia meijer...

The suppression of transverse phonons by liquidlike diffusion in superionic conductors has been proposed as a means to dramatically reduce thermal conductivity in thermoelectric materials [H. Lui et al. Nat. Mater. 11, 422 (2012)NMAACR1476-112210.1038/nmat3273]. We have measured the ion transport and lattice dynamics in the original phonon-liquid electron-crystal Cu_{2}Se using neutron spectros...
