A DOUBLE SHELL PLANT GROWTH CABINET

A Cabinet of Medical Curiousities

Ryan's theory is that a virus behaves as an aggressive symbiont in that it can con-comitantly live within a host (enjoying protection and employing its replicative facility) without causing disease and benefit the host by designedly causing disease in rival species. He uses this concept to introduce the idea that the emergence of viruses is inevitable when one species imposes on the habitat of ...

Double-shell metamaterial coatings for plasmonic cloaking

The ideas of employing the unique properties of meta-materials and plasmonic media for cloaking and invisibility applications have been recently suggested and investigated by several groups [1–5], and they may find numerous applications in physics and technology. While many of the recent designs of the cloaking structures are based on the transformation optics and exact formulas [6], the origin...

Reverse Engineering is the traditional bread-and-butter of digital forensics research. Companies like Microsoft and Apple deliver computational artifacts (operating systems, applications and phones) to the commercial market. These artifacts are bought and used by billions. Some have evil intent, and (if society is lucky), the computers end up in the hands of law enforcement. Unfortunately the o...

Age and social class were not related to hoarding of prescribed drugs, to initial standards of storage or selection, nor to the likelihood of a response to advice. Those who hoarded medicines but stored...
