The Unani system of medicine is an age-old, time-tested system of medicine dating back 5000 years to Greece. Like any other form of medical science, Unani medicine strives to find the best possible ways by which a person can lead a healthy life with the least or zero sickness. Unani scholars believe that diseases can be kept at bay by using clean and fresh water, breathing clean air and consumi...

Neural networks are a relatively new development in computer science, having survived a brush with the exclusive-or problem while the field was still in its teens in the 1960s and recovered for a renaissance in the 1980s. Chaos is a new mathematical theory, dating back to perhaps the 1960s at the earliest and blooming only in the 1980s. The intersection of chaos with neurobiology dates back per...

In 1969, the clinical observations of McCully 1 first linked marked hyperhomocysteinemia (ie, equivalent to total homocysteine [tHcy] levels of 100 to 450 mmol/L by current assays) to precocious arteriosclerotic disease in autopsied children who died from distinct metabolic forms of homocystinuria. Intermittent reports of severe thrombotic outcomes specifically involving the extracranial caroti...

The relationship of computers to music is long and rich, dating back to the earliest years of electronic music experimentation and Musique concrete. Working at Bell Labs in 1957, Max Matthews wrote MUSIC, the first software application for creating sound on a computer, and computer technology has been integral to modern composition ever since. As we approach the 50th anniversary of the inventio...

The national health department’s director of Labour Relations, Advocate Thomas Ngake, claimed the probe involved ‘a web’ connecting Home Affairs, the Health Professions Council and his own Foreign Workforce Management Programme (FWMP). He confirmed that the chief suspect was in mid-July being grilled at a separate in-camera internal disciplinary hearing following a forensic probe ‘dating back o...

Let C be two times continuously differentiable curve in R with at least one point at which the curvature is non-zero. For any i, j > 0 with i + j = 1, let Bad(i, j) denote the set of points (x, y) ∈ R for which max{∥qx∥, ∥qy∥} > c/q for all q ∈ N. Here c = c(x, y) is a positive constant. Our main result implies that any finite intersection of such sets with C has full Hausdorff dimension. This ...
