This paper describes an approach to crystal engineering based on designing and analyzing hierarchical levels of crystal l ine architecture. The system under study consists of 1:1 co-crystals of melamines and barbituric acids that selfassemble into crystallographically infinite hydrogen-bonded tapes. The formation of structural elements can be rat ional ized and control led using famil iar molec...

Ecology has been eminently a descriptive science despite some pio­ neering work by theoreticians such as Lotka, Volterra, Nicholson, and others. Description is a first step toward understanding a system. How­ ever, such a first step needs to be accompanied by the development of a theoretical framework in order to achieve real insight and, whenever possible, predictive power. Ecologists are incr...

At NDSS 2012, Yan et al. analyzed the security of sev-eral challenge-response type user authentication protocolsagainst passive observers, and proposed a generic countingbased statistical attack to recover the secret of some count-ing based protocols given a number of observed authentica-tion sessions. Roughly speaking, the attack is based on thefact that secret (pass) o...

P atient populations across the world are becoming increasingly diverse, introducing a variety of health behaviours that are influenced by a patient's cultural background. Tomorrow's Doctors guidelines state that all qualified doctors must respect patients 'without prejudice', irrespective of 'diversity of background and opportunity, language, culture and way of life' (1). Are medical students ...
