The efficacy of combination antiretroviral therapy in achieving sustained suppression of plasma human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA levels to below the level of detection, (partially) restoring immunity, and preventing AIDS has markedly improved over the past decade. In addition, thanks to continued drug development, physicians and patients alike have an everexpanding spectrum of, broadly sp...

It is natural to assume that the fine-grained and highly accurate spatial information present in visual experience is often used to guide our bodily actions. Yet this assumption has been challenged by proponents of the Two Visual Systems Hypothesis (TVSH), according to which visuomotor programming is the responsibility of a "zombie" processing stream whose sources of bottom-up spatial informati...

Broadly speaking, information has something to do with order or organization within a system of elements. The thermodynamic concept of entropy is also associated with such systems, although in an inverse relationship. When we attempt to put these two apparently coordinated schemas of order and disorder together, all kinds of difficulties arise. I will briefly examine contemporary efforts to uni...

This paper explores the problem of similarity criteria between nonrigid shapes. Broadly speaking, such criteria are divided into intrinsic and extrinsic, the first referring to the metric structure of the objects and the latter to the Euclidean coordinates of the points of which the objects comprises. Both criteria have their advantages and disadvantages; extrinsic similarity is sensitive to no...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be the disorder that breaks down the remaining barriers between neurology and psychiatry. In many respects, TBI represents the quintessential neuropsychiatric paradigm: It is diffi cult to appreciate what an individual with TBI and their family experience without understanding the brain regions typically effected by biomechanical trauma. It is equally critical t...

Broadly speaking, artworks are accorded a special significance and are recognized as powerful communication tools. In the current research, the authors posit that the "specialness" of artworks may be diminished simply by emphasizing that which is depicted in them. This emphasis results in the artwork being viewed as a mere illustration rather than a work of art. Specifically, the influence of a...

theory: newcomer characteristics, behaviours, and organizational efforts, their influences on newcomer adjustments and ultimately the outcomes of the process of organizational socialization [3]. This conceptual framework was not forced upon the data. It was used dialectically to both inform data analysis and lead to theory refinement. In their discussion, Atherley and colleagues based their imp...

Recent years have marked a sharp increase in the number of ways in which people interact with computers. Where the keyboard and mouse were once the primary interfaces for controlling a computer, users now utilize touchscreens, infrared cameras (like Microsoft’s Kinect), and accelerometers (for example, within the iPhone) to interact with their technology. In light of these changes and the proli...

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),' enacted by Congress in 1990, is a body of legislation that, broadly speaking, is aimed at protecting persons with disabilities, physical or mental, from discrimination by providers of public services or public accommodations, "by reason of such d i ~ a b i l i t ~ . " ~ As often occurs in the wake of major legislation, specific applications of the ADA...

Synergy is one of the governing principles of the natural world, and is one of the reasons for the increasing complexity of the evolutionary process. Broadly speaking, it relates to the cooperative effects produced by the interaction between various forces, elements, parts or individuals in a given context. Since the last century, some clinical studies have described the increased efficiency of...
