The Leica motCORR™ objectives provide superior color correction and field flatness based on Leica's plan apochromatic (PL APO) optics for the best imaging results. Their motorized correction collar simplifies the workflow by quickly adjusting the optics to adapt to varying coverglass thickness, changing temperature , and specimen inhomogeneities. › The motorized correction collar improves the p...

We analyze the behavior of a monopolistic firm in general equilibrium when the firm’s decision are taken through shareholder voting. We show that, depending on the underlying distribution, rational voting may imply overproduction as well as underproduction, relative to the efficient level. Any initial distribution of shares is an equilibrium, if individuals do not recognize their influence on v...

With the patient so disengaged during examination, management can be particularly challenging. What steps should the primary care physician take to ensure the most appropriate care for a comatose patient? In this article, Drs Malik and Hess describe an evaluation plan, labo...

OpenMath aims at providing a universal means of communicating mathematical information between applications. In this paper we present a global description of OpenMath as well as some exemplary scenarios involving its use. Through examination of these scenarios we nd a list of requirements leading to suggestions regarding structure and implementation of OpenMath.

Norway Qualitative information and misunderstandings in decision making An alphabet soup is a soup made with alphabet shaped noodles. It is commonly used as a metaphor for an abundance of abbreviations or acronyms. In this paper it is used to characterize project objectives that are nonsensical or misguiding and therefore of no use. Experience suggests that even though we might have a clear ide...

The NIPS 2008 workshop on causality provided a forum for researchers from different horizons to share their view on causal modeling and address the difficult question of assessing causal models. There has been a vivid debate on properly separating the notion of causality from particular models such as graphical models, which have been dominating the field in the past few years. Part of the work...
