Learning that a child has—or may have—neurofibromatosis can be a very difficult experience
Learning that a child has—or may have—neurofibromatosis can be a very difficult experience. Very often it comes as totally unexpected news about a child who appears to be perfectly healthy save for the presence of some innocent-looking brown spots on the skin. Often these spots have gone overlooked for years, passed off as simple "birthmarks". Now, suddenly, a child is labeled as having "neurof...
متن کاملOrogeny can be very short.
In contrast to continent/continent collision, arc-continent collision generates very short-lived orogeny because the buoyancy-driven impedance of the subduction of continental lithosphere, accompanied by arc/suprasubduction-zone ophiolite obduction, is relieved by subduction polarity reversal (flip). This tectonic principle is illustrated by the early Ordovician Grampian Orogeny in the British ...
متن کاملA little advice can be very helpful
Proving superpolylogarithmic lower bounds for dynamic data structures has remained an open problem despite years of research. Recently, Pǎtraşcu proposed an exciting new approach for breaking this barrier via a two player communication model in which one player gets private advice at the beginning of the protocol. He gave reductions from the problem of solving an asymmetric version of set-disjo...
متن کاملOptimizing Monotone Functions Can Be Difficult
Extending previous analyses on function classes like linear functions, we analyze how the simple (1+1) evolutionary algorithm optimizes pseudo-Boolean functions that are strictly monotone. Contrary to what one would expect, not all of these functions are easy to optimize. The choice of the constant c in the mutation probability p(n) = c/n can make a decisive difference. We show that if c < 1, t...
