Philosophy of Mathematics and Mathematical Practice in the Seventeenth Century

Abstract The seventeenth century saw dramatic advances in mathematical theory and practice. With the recovery of many of the classical Greek mathematical texts, new techniques were introduced, and within 100 years, the rules of analytic geo...

Working Memory and Children’s Mathematical Skills: Implications for mathematical development and mathematics curricula

This study examined the contributions of the different components of the working memory (WM) model to a range of mathematical skills in children, using measures of WM function that did not involve numerical stimuli. A sample of 148 children...

Mathematics of Computation

Beginning with the January 1960 issue, the title of Mathematical Tables and other Aids to Computation has been changed to Mathematics of Computation.The new name was unanimously adopted by the Editorial Committee in order to reflect the bro...

A History of Mathematics.

"Boyer and Merzbach distill thousands of years of mathematics into this fascinating chronicle. From the Greeks to Godel, the mathematics is brilliant; the cast of characters is distinguished; the ebb and flow of ideas is everywhere evident....

The Principles of Mathematics.

Published in 1903, this book was the first comprehensive treatise on the logical foundations of mathematics written in English. It sets forth, as far as possible without mathematical and logical symbolism, the grounds in favour of the view ...

Demographic changes and the need for health technology

Discussion focusses on recent trends in demand, giving consideration to how these trends might change between now and the end of the century. Attention is directed to the UK, but to put the situation in perspective a brief review of the wor...

Health Technologies: Transforming Scientific Knowledge into Human Health

Health technologies are commonly associated with medical devices, digital health platforms, robotics, and artificial intelligence. However, this perspective captures only the most visible dimension of a much broader concept. This study exam...

Different Transport Behaviors between Asian Dust and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Urban Areas: Monitoring in Fukuoka and Kanazawa, Japan

To clarify different effects of Asian dust (AD), long-range transported from Asian continent, on total suspended particles (TSP) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Japan, TSP were simultaneously collected during AD periods (from...

The economics of TAVI: A systematic review

Objective: The scope of this systematic review is to update the existing body of evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, stratified across all risk categories, and to assess their methodological...

Exploring the formation mechanism of off-flavor of irradiated yak meat based on metabolomics

Irradiation's effects on quality, volatile compounds, and differential metabolites of yak meat were studied. Irradiation dose at 3 kGy had no effect on yak meat quality, however irradiation dose at 5 kGy resulted in yak meat quality deterio...

Author Correction: Causal networks of phytoplankton diversity and biomass are modulated by environmental context

Wellbeing intervention for chronic kidney disease (WICKD): a randomised controlled trial study protocol

Abstract Background Incidence of end stage kidney disease (ESKD) for Indigenous Australians is especially high in remote and very remote areas of Australia (18 and 20 times the rate of comparable non-Indigenous people). Relocating away from...

Visit-to-visit variability of serum uric acid measurements and the risk of all-cause mortality in the general population

Abstract Background Evidence on longitudinal variability of serum uric acid (SUA) and risk of all-cause mortality in the general population is limited, as many prior studies focused on a single measurement of SUA. Methods A total of 53,956 ...

Adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in the nonsurgical treatment of periodontitis: an umbrella review

Abstract Aim Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been proposed as a locally acting adjunct to subgingival instrumentation for periodontitis. This umbrella review aimed to synthesize and critically appraise systematic reviews of ad...

Translational research in health technologies: A scoping review

Introduction: The current debate on the process of technological innovation points out as a challenge for universities consolidation of competencies that allow the generation and transfer of knowledge to society. The Translational Research ...

Epidermal Growth Factor Induces Vasoconstriction Through the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase-Mediated Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway in Hypertensive Rats

Abstract.: We investigated whether increased contractile responsiveness to epidermal growth factor (EGF) is associated with altered activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the aortic smooth muscle of deoxycorticosterone ace...

Gallium nanoparticles along with low-dose gamma radiation modulate TGF-β/MMP-9 expression in hepatocellular carcinogenesis in rats

Combining chemotherapy with radiotherapy potentiates the outcome of cancer treatment for the more comprehensive attack. In the current study, we continued to assess the therapeutic efficaciousness of the newly synthesized gallium nanopartic...

What could Paul have meant by ‘against nature’ (παρὰ φύσιν) as written in Romans 1:26? Striving for the well-being and health of all people

The point of departure of this article is postmodern philosopher Michel Foucault’s ‘archaeological analysis’ of the history of sexuality, seen from the lens of the South African philosopher Johann Beukes. Foucault points out that since the ...
