Editorial Regarding Parnassus " It's tough to make predictions " , averred Lawrence 'Yogi' Berra, " especially about the future ". The Danish physicist Niels Bohr, said the same. This edition considers, in our small way, the past, present and future. How we did things in the past needn't influence how they're done in the present; and how we practise now shouldn't dictate the future direction. I...

Since the discovery of vitamin Bs, several biological assay procedures for this factor have been proposed (Gyorgy (1) ; Lunde and Kringstad (2); Wilson and Roy (3) ; Schneider et al. (4) ; Halliday and Evans (5) ; Edgar, El Sadr, and Macrae (6) ; Dimick and Schreffler (7); Reedman et al. (8)). These methods, with the exception of that of Edgar et al., are based upon the cure of acrodynia produc...

We report extensive simulation studies of phase behavior in single component systems of particles interacting via a core-softened interparticle potential. Two recently proposed examples of such potentials are considered; one in which the hard core exhibits a shoulder [Sadr-Lahijany et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 4895 (1998)], and the other in which the softening takes the form of a linear ramp [J...

When we view the visual world, our eyes flit from one location to another about three times each second. These frequent changes in gaze direction result from very fast saccadic eye movements. Useful visual information is acquired only during fixations, periods of relative gaze stability. Gaze control is defined as the process of directing fixation through a scene in real time in the service of ...
