The Way It Was Again

Now what was that password again? A more flexible way of identifying and authenticating our seniors

The Web offers facilities which can make a huge difference to the lives of users with reduced mobility, something that affects many older users. Users have to be authorised to access restricted websites. This involves a two-step process: identification and authentication. These issues have received scant attention when considering the needs of specific user groups. Web identification and authen...

It was logical but was it the whole truth?

Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) was initially characterized as a degenerative process (disorder) because of a tendency to describe any disorder that was not well understood and often occurred in the ‘elderly’ as degenerative. In the last ‘15–20’ years, the observation of the presence of risk factors for arterial atherosclerosis in patients with calcific AS, the production of aortic valve calcific...

MSF again paves the way with ART.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has once again paved the way in local HIV/AIDS treatment, this time piloting ART adherence clubs in Khayelitsha outside Cape Town, improving adherence (and thus sustained virological suppression and immunological recovery) over mainstream care by a full 12%.

Once again, complex care leads the way.

Combinatorial Representation Theory of Lie Algebras. Richard Stanley’s Work and the Way It Was Continued

Representation theory is a fundamental tool for studying group symmetry − geometric, analytic, or algebraic − by means of linear algebra, which has important applications to other areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. One very successful trend in this field in recent decades involves using combinatorial objects to model the representations, which allows one to apply combinatorial metho...
