Thymus autonomy as a prelude to leukemia

Prelude to a Kiss

We consider expanding maps of the circle with an almost neutral fixed point c. In this setting the ergodic averages of a smooth observable A satisfy the Central Limit Theorem. If A(c) = 0 we show that the expectation and the variance behave as the square root of the multiplier of c times rapidly oscillating functions of parameters.

Backlash as prelude to managing managed care.

A Prelude to Standard and Standardization in Educational Systems

education. Today, a qualitative movement toward efficient trainings ineducational systems is necessary, since one of the important factors in the development and progress of any society is necessarily resources, manpower and their education.Considering education as a basic system in growing human resources, the present article tries to address this matter, due to the fact that we are in a situ...

Noise as therapy: a prelude to computationally-based neurology?

Disturbances of the autonomic nervous system are notoriously difficult to manage. In this issue, Japanese investigators show that heart rate variability, a measure of autonomic dysfunction, can be restored in patients with multiple systems atrophy (MSA) to levels approaching those seen in healthy individuals. Surprisingly the therapeutic maneuver did not involve a new surgical procedure, implan...

Procedures as a Gateway to Spacecraft Autonomy

This paper examines the role of procedures in operating crewed spacecraft and how procedures can serve as an entry point for spacecraft autonomy. Procedures represent the knowledge necessary to operate a system and are a critical component of crewed spaceflight. Historically, procedures have been executed by humans reading from a piece of paper or a static display. In this paper we describe a n...
