Mongrel Prose by the Puristically Challenged

Mongrel Gravity

The various options for a quantum theory of gravity are canvassed. Worries about the consistency and physical plausibility of hybrid theories are laid to rest. These hybrid theories—mongrel gravity—comprise the only current, actual theories of gravity, and they also offer legitimate promise for discovering the full theory of gravity. These theories provide an interesting example of scientific r...

The DNA double helix challenged by force

The technically challenging field of single-molecule biophysics has established itself in the last decade by granting access to detailed information about the fate of individual biomolecules, unattainable in traditional biochemical assays. The appeal of single-molecules methods lies in the directness of the information obtained from individual biomolecules. Technological improvements in single-...

Fibrinolytic Activity in Mongrel Dogs

Background. Numerous investigators have observed that pulmonary emboli are rapidly lysed in a canine model system. This study was undertaken to delineate the unique mechanism that accounts for the rapid dissolution of pulmonary emboli in mongrel dogs. Methods and Results. Canine plasminogen activator (PA) activity (2.6± 1.1 IU/mL acidified platelet-poor plasma [PPP], <0.3 IU/mL acidified whole ...

Dynamic AOP with PROSE

Dynamic Aspect-Oriented Programming (d-AOP) is an important tool to implement adaptation in a wide variety of applications. In particular, large distributed infrastructures, middleware, and pervasive computing environments can greatly benefit from d-AOP to adapt software systems at run time. In this paper, we discuss the design of PROSE, an open source, generic platform for software adaptation....
