For Jack Welch, it was just another one of those days. A round of meetings at Farfield headquaters in the morning. Back to his office to prepare the charts he would use for his lecture at Crotonville that afternoon. A private lunch in his small dining room off his office with the author and his VP for public relations, Beth Comstock. It is widely watched, of course, because it will mean the end…
Understanding the basic building blocks of matter has been one of the most intriguing endeavors of mankind. Our understanding of interatomic interactions has now reached a point where we can quite comfortably explain the macroscopic properties of matter, based on quantum mechanics and electrostatic interactions between electrons and ionic nuclei in the material. There are many properties of mat…

Healthy ageing is the ideal trajectory from birth to death. As we reach older age, physical changes are inevitable, but it is not simply the effect of these changes that makes ageing healthy or unhealthy. An older person may have many years of inca-pacity as they decline slowly towards death. Or they may be well and functioning happily until a very rapid shift into loss of life (the ideal of dy…
The wide and feasible availability of positron emitters radionuclides is a prerequisite for suc-cessful application on a routine basis. Fluorine-18 and Gallium-68 are the most used in a clinical setting, so far. Due to its versatility, 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), namely a radio-labelled analogue of glucose, is the by far most widely used P…
Warren and Brandeis [23] cite the judge Thomas M. Cooley when making this statement and refer to a section on bodily integrity in his book [6, p. 29] where the original quote reads “The right to one’s person may be said to be a right of complete immunity: to be let alone”[6, p. 29]. However, Cooley mainly refers to the integrity of the h…

Teams …
At that time I had just published research indicating that the overwhelming majority of patients who had undergone multiple surgeries on noses that the patients already knew were normal had a 90% likelihood of childhood abuse or neglect, and that the chance of making those patients happy in one operation was only 3%.1 , 2 These are the desperate people tha…
he World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that, worldwide, approximately 900,000 individuals develop each year hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer [1]. Overall, 69.8% of all HCC cases occur in males, with a male-to-female ratio of 2.66. Accordingly, HCC is the fifth most frequent incident cancer type in men, the ninth in women, and the …
There is a general perception amongst veterinary students and sheep producers that there are limited opportunities for a ‘sheep vet’ because individual sheep are generally of low value and the cost of veterinary involvement is too high. It is quite true that the value of individual sheep in commercial flocks is generally too low for sheep diseases with a low incidence to attr…
THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF MEAT I 13The Mediterranean Diet is the result of millennia of exchanges of food and cul-tures between people from all the coun-tries bordering the Mediterranean basin. This model, known to be one of the health-iest and most balanced, in the twentieth century has characterised the eating hab-its of the inhabitants of the Mediterrane-an region, o…
The main consequence of osteoporosis is that it is a condition in which bone mass is depleted and bone structure is destroyed to the degree that bone becomes fragile and prone to fractures. For affected patients, these ‘fragility fractures’ are associated with substantial pain and suffering, disability and even death, along with substantial costs to society. The problems creat…
Technical politics is the name for disputes over technology design involving social actors with different values, interests and ideas about the future shape of society. Such disputes are surely as old as technology itself but in the modern, industrial period they tended to involve quite narrow sections of society, and the resultant technology served very spe-cifi…
Women present a historic and worrying gap in science and technology-related disciplines, generally knowns as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics), except in the case of health professions. A holistic approach isneeded to support policymakers worldwide in bridging the gender gap in STEM, inwhich higher education institutions have a crucial role. Promoting this active impli-cat…
Puberty is a time of tumultuous transition from childhood to adulthood. This trans-formative developmental spurt is activated by rapid physical changes, hormonal development and the explosive activity of neurons. My book will describe both this physical development and the typically adolescent “state of mind”– somethingthat can remain active long after adolescence is over. When t…

The water I want to well is the deep language making meaning that deepens the way we think about autistic perception. The well is the way we rapaciously answer the way that neurotypicality speaks about arrangement of art attention and autistic importance that people don’t really want and I think that the water is required for easy language and should not sta…
The point of this story is not to marvel at the way in which an artificial object, intrinsically linked to science and human exploration, can gradually become alien to us. In popular parlance, the alien is that which is strange, inhuman and sometimes hostile. It is often used to describe the possible residents of other planetary bodies, perhaps beyond the edge of our solar system. Our desire to…
Robots have the connotation of a futuristic technology. In fact, however, theyhave been around for quite a while: Simple self-operating machines,so-calledautomata, existed already in ancient Greece, and the manufacturing tradi-tion continued on into medieval times (Truitt, 2015). In the fifteenth century,Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for a humanoid robot (Moran, 2006), and inthe eighteenth centu…
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is a multidisciplinary research field that integrates disciplines such as engineering, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and more1. Collaboration between different disciplines is necessary to achieve goals (such as developing robotic systems for human-aware navigation), but can be com-plicated as each discipline has a different jargon, uses different methods, and …
The ascomycete fungus Clonostachys rosea was reported as an aggressive mycoparasite in the late 1950s (Barnett and Lilly, 1962), and initial attempts to use it for biological control of plant diseases soon followed (Shigo, 1958). Since then, there has been a wealth of new knowledge emerging concerning the ecology, physiology and genetics of C. rosea, as well as concerning …
Communication in noisy reverberant environments is an immense challenge forour auditory attention. Referred to as the ?cocktail-party effect?, it has beenin the interest of research since Cherry [26] reported his initial study askingparticipants to selectively listen to one ear while ignoring the speech from adistracting speaker in the other ear. Using dichotic-listening paradigms, manydifferen…
The discovery of radiation belts dates back to the dawn of the space age when theknowledge of the physical properties of the magnetosphere was still in its infancy. InFebruary 1958 the first U.S. satelliteExplorerI1carried a Geiger–Müller instrumentthat was designed to measure cosmic radiation. It indeed did so until the space craft reached the altitude of about 700 km when the instrument my…
