Give Me Another One!
We investigate the complexity of an optimization problem in Boolean propositional logic related to information theory: Given a conjunctive formula over a set of relations, find a satisfying assignment with minimal Hamming distance to a given assignment that satisfies the formula (NearestOtherSolution, NOSol). We present a complete classification with respect to the relations admitted in the for...
متن کاملSLE: Another Autoimmune Disorder Influenced by Microbes and Diet?
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-system autoimmune disease. Despite years of study, the etiology of SLE is still unclear. Both genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in the disease mechanisms. In the past decade, a growing body of evidence has indicated an important role of gut microbes in the development of autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid...
متن کاملAnother weapon against amyloid.
A lzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of those conditions that, like cancer in earlier generations, inspires particular terror among the general public. Therapeutic advances have lagged behind insights into genetics and pathophysiology, and although -amyloid (A ), the product of amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleavage, remains the leading suspect among proposed pathogenic factors, its causal role i...
متن کاملCross-mapped Analogies : Pitting Systematicity against Spurious Similarity
An analogy can be viewed as a device for conveying that two domains share significant relational structure even though they may not share surface similarity . The value of an analogy lies in its ability to give a causal or explanatory coherence to a new domain through the transference of a mutually-constraining set of relations . In Gentner's (1980, 1982, 1983) structure-mapping theory, this is...
متن کاملOne thing leads to another.
In 1956, the JCI published an article by Vincent Dole on a method for titrating plasma fatty acids that uncovered the importance of fatty acids as a substrate for glucose metabolism. When asked to prepare a historical perspective on this very popular paper, I paid Dole a visit and we reminisced. His answer to my question of how he came to do this work on plasma fatty acids was: "Well, one thing...
