We consider construction of empirical formulas for predicting new averaged experimental data from a finite number of the old ones so as to point out the relevant technical problems. The main problem is that there is always only a finite number of inaccurate data at our disposal. As an example, we construct empirical formulas for describing Planck’s law in terms of averaged experimental data. PA...

However, till date, the studies testing with prospective role of caspase inhibitors for the treatment of AD have yet to be realized. Obviously, t...
