Most historical works are based on traditional archival sources, chronicles, state reports, community narratives, folk literature, and vernacular among other things, therefore there is a need to hunt for new evidence beyond Ranke's customary approach of writing history. Environmental historians, the hand, do not use similar sources consider hills, rivers, woods, air, fields, diseases, as more b...

We compare different algorithms for reconfigurable atomic storage in the data-centric model. We present the first experimental evaluation of two recently proposed algorithms for reconfiguration without consensus and compare them to established algorithms for reconfiguration both with and without consensus. Our evaluation reveals that the new algorithms offer a significant improvement in terms o...

A small proportion of patients use a disproportionate amount of general practitioners' (GPs') time. We demonstrate here that such frequent attending behaviour tends to persist through five-year follow-up, suggesting the need for the development of specific management strategies. We also show that, at any rate in one practice, total workload is increasing dramatically, and that frequent consulte...

History of medicine is an extensive and very complex science. In a simple and classical understanding, it has an informative and associative role. Although it is not easy for students to understand the multiple implications of the history of medicine, its importance becomes more evident during their academic formation. The students must be persuaded particularly about the ethical and cultural v...

Several digital forensic frameworks have been proposed, yet no conclusions have been reached about which are more appropriate. This is partly because each framework may work well for different types of investigations, but it hasn’t been shown if any are sufficient for all types of investigations. To address this problem, this work uses a model based on the history of a computer to define catego...

In April 2009, Sir David Attenborough, the respected face and voice of British natural history programmes for more than fifty years, became the patron of a new charity, the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), an organisation campaigning to limit the world’s population. His reason for accepting the honour, he confessed to The Times, was that he was terribly worried about the dramatic increase of the...

A new record of the tarantula genus Phlogiellus Pocock, 1897 from Thailand is described. Distributional data, natural history, morphological characters, and illustrations of male and female are provided. The Thai specimens belong to a new species, Phlogiellus longipalpussp. n. The diagnosis of the new species and related species are discussed.
