It has been a year since the new millennium began. European jurisprudence in its modern form is one thousand years old. I have been working in the field of law for some 30 years. The biggest change I could like to see in the new millennium is that we might learn to ask questions that are small and clearly defined. There are probably no exact answers to the big questions. I will be true to my co...

By now there is substantial evidence that Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) originate at cosmological distances from very powerful explosions. The interaction between a GRB and its surrounding environment has dramatic consequences on the environment itself. At early times, the strong X-ray UV afterglow flux photoionizes the medium on distance scales on the order of 100 pc [7], destroys dust [10], creates...

Unless we challenge long-held assumptions about how business leaders are supposed to act and where they're supposed to come from, many people who could become effective global leaders will remain invisible, warns Harvard Business School professor Hill. Instead of assuming that leaders must exhibit take-charge behavior, broaden the definition of leadership to include creating a context in which ...

Folder navigation is the main way that computer users retrieve their personal files. However we know surprisingly little about navigation, particularly about how it is affected by the operating system used, the interface presentation and the folder structure. To investigate this, we asked 289 participants to retrieve 1,109 of their own active files. We analyzed the 4,948 resulting retrieval ste...

As the schizophrenia and psychosis recovery research continues to accumulate, we find the first stirrings of a profound shift in our understanding of these confusing disorders. On one hand, we find increasing evidence that schizophrenia (and other closely related psychotic disorders) may not be the manifestation of a diseased brain after all; on the other hand, we find evidence that, in spite o...

There are innumerable 'biological complexity measure's. While some patterns emerge from these attempts to represent biological complexity, a single measure to encompass the seemingly countless features of biological systems, still eludes the students of Biology. It is the pursuit of this paper to discuss the feasibility of finding one complete and objective measure for biological complexity. A ...
