Copying letters to patients--will it happen?

Protection Act 9 and the Access to Medical Records Act 10 all establish a right of access by individuals to reports relating to themselves provided by medical practitioners, and data about them. Access can only be denied where the information may cause serious harm to the physical or mental health condition of the patients or any other person, or where giving access would disclose information r...

Research-agenda Bias: letters to the editor

Nonenzymatic copying of RNA templates containing all four letters is catalyzed by activated oligonucleotides

The nonenzymatic replication of RNA is a potential transitional stage between the prebiotic chemistry of nucleotide synthesis and the canonical RNA world in which RNA enzymes (ribozymes) catalyze replication of the RNA genomes of primordial cells. However, the plausibility of nonenzymatic RNA replication is undercut by the lack of a protocell-compatible chemical system capable of copying RNA te...

CAT : the Copying Approach to

The SLG-WAM can be characterized as a sharing approach to implementing tabling: the execution environments of suspended computations are intersperced in the WAM stacks. Stacks are frozen using a set of freeze registers and the WAM trail mechanism is extended so that the suspended computations can be resumed. This technique has a reasonably small execution overhead, but is not easy to implement ...

Letters to the editors.

Dear Sirs, In their letter Chatauret et al. [1] address an interesting issue: in hypothermic machine perfusion for kidney preservation we should have a better understanding of the machine effects versus solution effects. During the discussions concerning the study design the scientific steering committee also discussed which preservation solutions should be used. For more than 40 years, KPS-1 i...
