Supporting a Working Life When Disability Is Not Permanent

what is “meaningful change” when working with transtheoretical model (ttm)?

When is a computer not a computer?

We recently bought an IBM-BLOKBUSTR computer, after reading Osherson’s (1985) beguiling description of its ability to do the uncomputable. We had hoped to use it in our study of the human ability to generate music. But we ran into problems that we had not anticipated. Readers of this journal who plan to use this rather unusual machine in their research, might want to profit from our experience....

When Is a Reservoir Not a Reservoir?

Four-year prospective study of STAPH-IDENT system and conventional method for reference identification of Staphylococcus, Stomatococcus, and Micrococcus spp. Alvarez-Grande J. Relapsing bacteraemia due to Micrococcus luteus in a haemodialy-sis patient with a Perm-Cath catheter. To the Editor: Some 80% of parasitic infe...

When Is a “Pathway” Not a Pathway?

Physician and alchemist Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim was born in Switzerland one year after Columbus set out for, and discovered, the New World. The son of a physician, he adopted the nom de plume Paracelsus on completion of his own medical doctorate to imply that he was at least the equal of past great physicians, such as Galen and Celsus, and is credited as the foun...

When is a Work-Conserving Switch Not?

Crossbar-based switches are commonly used to implement routers with throughputs up to about 1 Tb/s. The advent of work-conserving crossbar scheduling algorithms now makes it possible to engineer systems that perform well, even under extreme traffic conditions. Unfortunately, all the published work-conservation results for crossbar scheduling apply only to systems that switch fixed-length cells,...
