Conveyancing Considered as a Progressive Science

Hemolysis Considered as a Progressive Reaction in a Heterogeneous System

It is demonstrated, without the use of special assumptions, that red cells are heterogeneous with respect to their resistance to at least certain lysins, that the reaction between the cell components and the lysin is virtually irreversible in some cases but reversible, although to different extents, in others, and that the lysin initiates a process in the cell which is not adequately described ...

Science Considered Harmful

As the INT community matures, one hears increasing calls for the field to become more scientific, and even prior restraint in which researchers avoid a project entirely out fear it wouldn’t be sufficiently scientific. In this position paper, I’ll argue that science, and more generally rigor, are not well served by a discourse that labels things as “science” and “not science.” In particular, I w...

Can Bioinformatics Be Considered as an Experimental Biological Science?

The objective of this short report is to reconsider the subject of bioinformatics as just being a tool of experimental biological science. To do that, we introduce three examples to show how bioinformatics could be considered as an experimental science. These examples show how the development of theoretical biological models generates experimentally verifiable computer hypotheses, which necessa...

Graphic Rendering Considered as a Compilation Chain

Graphical rendering must be fast enough so as to avoid hindering the user perception/action loop. Traditionally, programmers interleave descriptions and optimizations to achieve such performances, thus compromising modularity. In this paper, we consider graphic rendering as a compilation chain: we designed a static and dynamic graphical compiler that enables a designer to clearly separate the d...
