Correction to: Participation and Social Exclusion – Are They Mutually Exclusive Phenomena?

Containing costs and containing bugs: are they mutually exclusive?

BACKGROUND The overall health care costs for managing patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in U.S. hospitals is burdensome. While pharmacy costs comprise only a minor proportion of these costs, hospital length of stay (LOS) is the greatest contributor. Infections due to antimicrobial-resistant pathogens are also associated with increased overall health care cost. Therefore, strategi...

Increasing Exclusion: The Pauli Exclusion Principle and Energy Conservation for Bound Fermions are Mutually Exclusive

A review of standard quantum mechanics, including the Pauli Exclusion Principle, as it is applied to atomic species shows that the standard theory is not consistent with energy conservation. Particular focus is given to helium in which it is shown that energy conservation is only possible if the ‘ground state’ has electrons at two distinct energies. If the two electrons in the ground state, per...

The cost of cancer care--balancing our duties to patients versus society: are they mutually exclusive?

Drought resistance, water-use efficiency, and yield potential—are they compatible, dissonant, or mutually exclusive?

This presentation is a concept review paper dealing with a central dilemma in understanding, designing, and acting upon crop plant improvement programs for drought conditions. The association among yield potential (YP), drought resistance (DR), and water-use efficiency (WUE) is often misunderstood, which in turn can lead to conceptual oversight and wrong decisions in implementing breeding progr...

Injury prevention and performance – are they mutually exclusive? What does science tell us?

The academic journey into elite rowing performance at Imperial College has been evolving over the past 10-15 years. Its starting point was however, in injury prevention rather than performance enhancement, although this is clearly linked to performance. The major injury that drove this initial work was low back pain (LBP) and current research papers still noting that LBP accounts for 32% of rep...
