This paper examines the gender politics of Cesarean sections (C-sections) in Taiwan, the country with the third highest Cesarean rates (C-rates) in the world. Public discourses attribute the high C-rates to the demands of women. According to my fieldwork, the Taiwanese medical system itself is responsible for high C-rates. Taiwanese hospitals enforce a significant amount of medical intervention...

The research will concentrate on techniques for implementing invariances in the local transition functions of cellular automata based on cells comprising ensembles of asso-ciative memories.

Introduction Good health is as a result of combination of many factors, one of these factors is hand hygiene. The hands are probably the most used body organ. A day barely passes without holding multiple objects with our hands; we greet people, hold money, eat and clean our houses with our hands. It is therefore apparent that our Hands are at a higher exposure to germs than any other part of ou...

This project aims to develop a new framework which enables compilers to adapt with and exploit the exponential growth in hardware performance. This is achieved by systematically describing the program optimisation space and by developing new approaches to explore this space in a manner independent of application or underlying architecture. Furthermore, by transcending the distinction between co...

Complexity is conducive to dependence on specialists on the one hand, and mistrust of them on the other. If you read in the Bulletin, “A dendrogram of sequence-relatedness was constructed by the method of the VPI maximumlikelihood bootstrap consensus tree (PUZZLE, version 4.0)” (1), and this is not in your area of specialization, you might respect it for its apparent professionalism, resent it ...
