The A4 Study: Stopping AD Before Symptoms Begin?

Smoking before surgery: the case for stopping.

A custom loathsome to the eye, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black stinkingfume thereof, nearest resembling the homrble Stygian smoke ofthe pit that is bottomless. To the adverse effects of smoking noted by King James in 1604 can now be added changes in the cardiovascular, immune, and haemostatic systems. Over 1000 components of cigarette smoke have been identified,' ...

Can mental rotation begin before perception finishes?

We conducted six experiments to determine if mental rotation can begin before perception finishes, as allowed by continuous flow models but not discrete state models of information processing. The results of Experiments 1-3 showed that the effect of shape discriminability on RT was underadditive with the effect of stimulus orientation, suggesting that mental rotation began before shape discrimi...

MASCAT: Stopping Microarchitectural Attacks Before Execution

Microarchitectural attacks have gained popularity in recent years since they use only standard resources, e.g. memory and cache access timing. Such privileges are available to applications at the lowest privilege levels. Further, microarchitectural attacks have proven successful on shared cloud instances across VMs, on smartphones with sandboxing, and on numerous embedded platforms. Given the r...

Why does the sun's torsional oscillation begin before the sunspot cycle?

Although the Sun's torsional oscillation is believed to be driven by the Lorentz force associated with the sunspot cycle, this oscillation begins 2-3 yr before the sunspot cycle. We provide a theoretical explanation of this with the help of a solar dynamo model having a meridional circulation penetrating slightly below the bottom of the convection zone, because only in such dynamo models does t...
