It seems you?re ready to sharpen your chancroid (starts with a "sh" sound) knowledge! On to it then: Chancroid is a bacterial infection transmitted through contact with sores on an infected individual?s skin. The bacteria, Haemophilus ducreyi, can lead to painful, open sores and swollen lymph nodes, usually in the groin area. It's relatively rare in the United States (including in infants and c...

After we have made those assumptions, we now can deterministically transfer the color from one place to another. Note that there is a big difference between "reproducing" one color at a different location and "deterministically transferring one set of color data to another location". The deterministic transfer is limited to the small set of physical metrics we decided to call "color". All other...

This Special Issue of BioSystems is devoted to clarifying the concept, and to showing how it’s being used in various examples of empirical research. Given the obscurity that still attends the concept, however, we shouldn’t expect to find that all the ’clarifications’ are equivalent--or even mutually consistent. Similarly, we shouldn’t expect to find that the notion is applied identically in all...

In this issue of the Journal, Thompson and Dasgupta describe the use of microwave irradiation to drive the derivatization of cocaine, its ethyl homologue and the major cocaine metabolites, benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester. Although more needs to be done to characterize the reaction, this interesting approach may have broad applications to the analysis of drug metabolites and other biol...
