To enhance the timeliness of medical evaluation for cholera-like illness during the 2011 cholera outbreak in Hispaniola, printed Travel Health Alert Notices (T-HANs) were distributed to travelers from Haiti to the United States. Evaluation of the T-HANs’ influence on travelers’ health care–seeking behavior suggested T-HANs might positively influence health care–seeking behavior.

The present study aimed to determine the concentrations of several disinfection byproducts (DBPs), including trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), and haloacetonitriles (HANs), in the public and private swimming pools in Sanandaj, Iran (n=16). Correlations between DBP levels with water quality parameters (free chlorine, pH, total organic carbon, temperature, number of swimme...

Hans Thoenen: 1928–2012 Hans Thoenen passed away on June 23, 2012, a fewmonths after being diagnosed with lung cancer. He left us grateful for what he had been able to accomplish in his life as scientist, but he was neither exuberant nor proud. Hans remained extraordinarily modest about his achievements—he felt far more comfortable by understating his contributions and never liked receiving com...

The famous theoretical biologist Hans Meinhardt died on 11 February 2016 in Tübingen. Meinhardt is well known for mathematical models of biological pattern formation, which he applied to a wide range of problems in developmental biology such as body axis formation, segmentation, limb patterning, regeneration, phyllotaxis and surface patterns — most famously the color patterns on seashells. Hans...

Given my current state of knowledge, and a desirable state of knowledge, how do I get from one to the other? It is possible in principle to reach the desirable state of knowledge, i.e., does it make sense at all to start trying to obtain the desirable state? If I know it is impossible to obtain, there is no use trying. But even if I know that it is possible in principle, is there a way to appro...

Any attempt to characterize Reichenbach’s approach to inductive reasoning must take into account some of the core influences that set his work apart from more traditional or standard approaches to inductive reasoning. In the case of Reichenbach, these influences are particularly important as otherwise Reichenbach’s views may be confused with others that are closely related but different in impo...
