Titles, abstracts and key words in biomedical articles

Titles versus titles and abstracts for initial screening of articles for systematic reviews

BACKGROUND There is no consensus on whether screening titles alone or titles and abstracts together is the preferable strategy for inclusion of articles in a systematic review. METHODS TWO METHODS OF SCREENING ARTICLES FOR INCLUSION IN A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW WERE COMPARED: titles first versus titles and abstracts simultaneously. Each citation found in MEDLINE or Embase was reviewed by two physic...

Titles That Announce Argumentative Claims in Biomedical Research Articles

In the experimental sciences authors use the scientific article to express their findings by making an argumentative claim. While past studies have located the claim in the Abstract, the Introduction, and in the Discussion section, in this paper we focus on the article title as a potential source of the claim. Our investigation has suggested that titles which contain a tensed verb almost certai...

The role of measurement in quantum theory remains both perplexing and controversial, especially for no-collapse interpretations (e.g., many-worlds, or the ``existential'' view). One of the outstanding challenges in these frameworks is to explain preferred bases -i.e., why measurements and observations always break unitary invariance. In this talk, I'll present a framework, motivated by informat...

In condensed matter physics, it is known that some topological properties of quantum systems are related to the topology of the Hamiltonian operator as a self-adjoint operator with a spectral gap. In particular, recent researches reveal that symmetries of quantum systems, such as time-reversal or particle-hole symmetries, provide a rich physical and mathematical theory. In this talk, we introdu...
