A simulation by Zhang et al. [IUCrJ (2015), 2, 322-326] has demonstrated that utilizing serial crystallography may turn one-dimensional powder diffraction from multiphase polycrystalline samples into three-dimensional single-crystal diffraction patterns.

Early science education is essentially qualitative. Children must learn causal theories: what kinds of things happen, when they happen, and what their consequences are. Although modeling is a key skill in scientific reasoning, traditional modeling techniques do not express causal theories explicitly, and rely on higher mathematics (such as algebra) that children do not learn until later. We bel...

It is being talked about all over the world; an editorial in the Economist of 19 October 2013 entitled " How Science Goes Wrong " reports a dramatic decline in the quality of scientific publications. Research has changed the world, now it needs to change itself, the subheading reads. The detailed report is based on facts which are difficult to disprove; an example being a Harvard biologist, Joh...

We examined the prospective association between general intelligence (g) at age 10 and liberal and antitraditional social attitudes at age 30 in a large (N= 7,070), representative sample of the British population born in 1970. Statistical analyses identified a general latent trait underlying attitudes that are antiracist, pro-working women, socially liberal, and trusting in the democratic polit...

To succeed, agents need to become part of legacy and future systems that are not agent oriented. That means agents must be able to run (and migrate) on servers that are not based on multi-agent platforms. Also, agents will have to be able to communicate using languages and protocols that are not dedicated to them, such as HTML. Last, agents need to be able to adapt (themselves) to modifications...

The appearance and the development of distance education are always linked with the evolution of ICT. Each time that a new technology is used in the field of the media and the transmission of information, it gives rise to a new model of distance education. From the 19th century to the 21st century, three phases are identified in this era: paper, mass media and digital. We underline the use of n...

Recent progress in molecular and cellular biology has led to the development of numerous effective cardiovascular drugs. However, there are still a number of diseases for which no known effective therapy exists, such as peripheral arterial disease, ischaemic heart disease, restenosis after angioplasty, and vascular bypass graft occlusion. Currently, gene therapy is emerging as a potential strat...
