"many Are Called, but Few Are Chosen"

It has been suggested by some recent exegetes that Matthew 22:14 may well have been a typical remark made by our Lord to bring to a conclusion any of the parables dealing with the messianic kingdom; that its position at the end of the Parable of the Wedding Feast may have been owing to the Evangelist himself.

When I visit McDonald’s and Wendy’s, I don’t order the salads. If you give the remote to me, I won’t return it until I flip ...

Many copies may be required for entanglement distillation

A mixed quantum state ρ shared between two parties is said to be distillable if, by means of a protocol involving only local quantum operations and classical communication, the two parties can transform some number of copies of ρ into a single shared pair of qubits having high fidelity with the maximally entangled state |φ+〉 = (|00〉 + |11〉)/ √ 2. In this paper it is proved that there exist stat...

Many growth factors may not be growth factors.

Both organ growth and tumor growth are dependent upon a biased ratio of cell births to cell deaths; this ratio is independent of the frequency of mitosis. Thus, so-called growth factors that affect only the frequency of mitosis are not really growth factors. I shall advance two hypotheses: that the normal adult ratio of cell births to cell deaths is maintained by the activity of a factor or fac...
