The existing data from research using rodent models have implicated some drugs as being toxic to the developing brain, even causing cognitive deficits in later life. However, there are no data providing evidence that the clinical use of these drugs is associated with signs of developmental neurotoxicity. This Editorial focuses on how use of the developing nonhuman primate, when combined with bi...

Introduction The authors were all involved in the 'seminal' Utopia project, 1981-85, where Cooperative Design methodology, involving users very early in the design process, had an early development and application in the use of computers. One strong goal was to 'give the end users a voice' in design and development of computer support in work places, thus enhancing the quality of the resulting ...

Abstract. Climate is usually considered to depend on a large number of parameters, this being essentially a functional in multi-dimensional parameter space. We propose a low-dimensional model of a climate where the temperature field on a thermally conducting planet depends on the external energy input and very limited number of internal parameters, like thermal conductivity and reflectivity. Eq...
