This year marks the 50th anniversary of Simpson and Tait’s isolation of electrocortin (aldosterone) (Fig. 1). Five decades of research have yielded extensive insight into the biological actions mediated through this once elusive molecule, in particular, areas of sodium and potassium metabolism and the kidney. The history of discovery surrounding the mechanisms of regulation and action of aldost...

We are celebrating JCHIMP’s 7th. We will discuss recent changes related to our publisher change at the end of v...

And we won, we were right. TCS is a very healthy branch of Computer Science, the number of researchers in the field and the number of published papers has increased by a huge coefficient (maybe 1000?). The association is still there, ICALP is organized regularly every year around the 14th of July, the journal TCS has grown tremendously from 400 pages a year to over 10000, each new page now cont...

h THE EDA INDUSTRY has been a tremendous place to be in the last 50 years. The reason is the same as any other exciting industry, consisting of two things: First, the exciting, tough, and technical problems to solve that make a real difference, that change the world, and that change the way we do things; and second is the financial growth and opportunity. To start new companies, grow those comp...

When AI EDAM started 25 years ago, AI was a buzz word and it was expected to revolutionize the way engineering design, analysis, and manufacturing (EDAM) were conducted. It did not revolutionize EDAM unfortunately. There was no visible landmark over the past 25 years at least in the EDAM areas. Instead of such “gold medals,” what we now see is numerous steady stepwise improvements that AI techn...
