There's Safety in Numbers

do we or could we legitimately make of them? At one extreme there are those, both clinicians and laboratory workers, who hardly ever ask this question, and accept laboratory figures as the simple truth. They are undoubtedly mistaken. At the other extreme there are those who habitually disbelieve or disregard laboratory measurements in favour of clinical judgement, but ask for or permit the meas...

Safety in Numbers

NMR experiment factors numbers with Gauss sums.

We factor the number 157573 using an NMR implementation of Gauss sums. Although the current implementation is classical and scales exponentially, we believe that an extension to the quantum regime using entangled states is possible.

Ribosomal Genes: Safety in Numbers

The presence of inactive units in tandem arrays of ribosomal genes (rDNA) has been linked to increased transcriptional capacity, but a recent study indicates that inactive units are necessary for sister chromatid cohesion and genetic stability of rDNA.

Integrated Pedestrian Safety Assessment Procedure

Structural improvements at the vehicle front are state of the art in the field of pedestrian safety today and offer a basic passive protection. Meanwhile advanced safety systems have entered the market. Deployable systems, like the active bonnet or the windscreen airbag, further enhance the passive protection of passenger vehicles while systems of active safety such as autonomous emergency brak...
