There are several essential qualities required for success as a chair of surgery. These include determination and resilience, thoughtful planning, superb organization skills, a balance of hard (accounting, management and finance) and soft skills (interpersonal including faculty development), and careful execution is absolutely essential as is a commitment to maintaining momentum.

Researchers in many fields use dozens of different rapidly growing on-line knowledge sources, each with its own structure and access methods. Successful research often depends on a researcher's ability to discover connections among many different sources of information. The popularity of Google suggests that high-quality indexing would provide a uniform method of access, although it still leave...

The proper performance of micro-manipulative techniques depends upon three main factors: a good viexv of the procedure; properly designed tools wvhich can be held in the hand yet have accurate and efficient working ends; a relaxed position so that the operator avoids spending energy fighting against gravity. Mluch thought and experience is being displayed in the introduction of microscopes and ...

A Proud History In July 2019, the American Heart Association (AHA) Council on Basic Cardiovascular Science (BCVS) will celebrate its 20th anniversary. For this first News and Views: From the BCVS Chair for Circulation Research, I thought it would be most appropriate to provide a brief history and mission statement of the AHA BCVS Council. In 1924, 6 leading cardiologists across the nation—Drs L...

“standard model” of particles physics, which describes with great success all the known most intimate building block of nature. More concretely, it gives a unified description of all the known particles and of three of the four fundamental interactions at work in nature: the electromagnetic interaction, the so-called “strong” interaction and the so-called “weak” interaction. This standard model...

The maximum likelihood (ML) and suboptimum ML (S-ML) detectors are derived in the first order moving average model. The ML and S-ML detectors are employed in the antipodal signaling system, and compared in terms of the bit-error-rate in impulsive environment. Numerical results show that the S-ML detector, despite reduced complexity and simpler structure, exhibits practically the same performanc...
