Iron-Based Layered Superconductor La[O<sub>1-</sub><i><sub>x</sub></i>F<i><sub>x</sub></i>]FeAs (<i>x</i> = 0.05−0.12) with <i>T</i><sub>c</sub> = 26 K
We report that a layered iron-based compound LaOFeAs undergoes superconducting transition under doping with F- ions at the O2- site. The transition temperature (Tc) exhibits a t...
The spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian paradigm: a critique of the adaptationist programme
An adaptationist programme has dominated evolutionary thought in England and the United States during the past 40 years. It is based on faith in the power of natural selection a...
Closing the gap in a generation: health equity through action on the social determinants of health
The Commission on Social Determinants of Health, created to marshal the evidence on what can be done to promote health equity and to foster a global movement to achieve it, is a...
The Logic of Scientific Discovery.
Described by the philosopher A.J. Ayer as a work of 'great originality and power', this book revolutionized contemporary thinking on science and knowledge. Ideas such as the now...
Genetics of Food Intake Self-Regulation in Childhood: Literature Review and Research Opportunities
Pediatric obesity results from a daily energy imbalance between intake and expenditure, an imbalance potentially as slight as ∼30-50 kcal/day (e.g., a few extra sips of cola or ...
Phospho‐olivines as Positive‐Electrode Materials for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries
Reversible extraction of lithium from (triphylite) and insertion of lithium into at 3.5 V vs. lithium at 0.05 mA/cm2 shows this material to be an excellent candidate for the cat...
Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy
In this work the distinguished physical chemist and philosopher, Michael Polanyi, demonstrates that the scientist's personal participation in his knowledge, in both its discover...
10-Year Follow-up of Intensive Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes
Despite an early loss of glycemic differences, a continued reduction in microvascular risk and emergent risk reductions for myocardial infarction and death from any cause were o...
The Modern Corporation and Private Property
This monumental work on the corporation is one of those enduring classics that many cite but few have read. Graced with a new introduction by Weidenbaum and Jensen, this new edi...
Inflammation and Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis, formerly considered a bland lipid storage disease, actually involves an ongoing inflammatory response. Recent advances in basic science have established a funda...
Numerical Methods for Unconstrained Optimization and Nonlinear Equations
Preface 1. Introduction. Problems to be considered Characteristics of 'real-world' problems Finite-precision arithmetic and measurement of error Exercises 2. Nonlinear Problems ...
