COMPUTERS: From Whole Earth to the Whole Web

Adaptive whole Earth tomography

[1] An approach for seismic tomography is presented which allows the parameterization to be refined during the inversion. The objective is to use the data to refine the mesh and the velocity model together, and hence both are considered part of the solution. Some simple rules are used to identify the volumes of a three-dimensional model in need of refinement. The self-adaptive parameterization ...

Whole Earth Measurements

Let us take a very commonplace, often discussed and critical topic within our conversations regarding critical environmental issues: Are we detecting a Greenhouse Effect, and related to this, is it exacerbated by "homogenic factors," i.e., human actions? At this occasion I suspect that most would be inclined to give a positive answer to both of these questions. But, if pushed philosophically, w...

Whole-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: from fear to hope

Undoubtedly, vaccination can be one of the promising approaches to control infectious diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Inactivated viral vaccines have a history of "vaccine-induced enhanced disease", which may occur when neutralizing antibodies bind to viral antigens without blocking or clearing the infection. This can cause additional inflammation through the mechanisms described for ot...
