Adolphe Gubler y el <em>Journal de Thérapeutique</em> (1874-1883)
1993
El presente trabajo pretende ser un acercamiento a una de las revistas francesas de terapéutica que ejercieron mayor influencia en la medicina española del siglo XIX: el Journal de Thérapeutique. A pesar de que tuvo una pervivencia relativamente corta, desde 1874 a 1883, se publicó durante una de las etapas más importantes de la historia de la terapéutica y farmacología europeas, que se caracterizó ·por acercar a la realidad clínica los nuevos y revolucionarios avances de la farmacología experimental que había iniciado François Magendie con gran éxito. El alma de la publicación fue Adolphe Gubler, que influyó mucho sobre los principales cultivadores del arte de curar españoles del último cu…
Forays into the Scientific Mindset: The Two Cultures in Ian McEwan’s Saturday and Solar
2012
The paper discusses two recent novels, Saturday (2005) and Solar (2010) written by a distinguished contemporary novelist Ian McEwan in the context of C. P. Snow’s famous lecture The Two Cultures. As the paper suggests, McEwan should be listed among the narrow group of British literary intellectuals living today who follow C. P. Snow’s recommendations and try to bridge the gap between the worlds of science and the humanities. Both Saturday and Solar, the author of the paper argues, successfully demonstrate how science may become a rewarding and rich source of inspiration for a novelist.
Building Bridges through Science
2017
WOS: 000415310800007 PubMed ID: 29144972 Science is ideally suited to connect people from different cultures and thereby foster mutual understanding. To promote international life science collaboration, we have launched "The Science Bridge'' initiative. Our current project focuses on partnership between Western and Middle Eastern neuroscience communities. Medical Research Council [MC_UP_1202/5]
Timing of the emergence of the Europe-Sicily bridge (40-17 cal ka BP) and its implications for the spread of modern humans
2014
The submerged sill in the Strait of Messina, which is located today at a minimum depth of 81 m below sea level (bsl), represents the only land connection between Sicily and mainland Italy (and thus Europe) during the last lowstand when the sea level locally stood at about 126 m bsl. Today, the sea crossing to Sicily, although it is less than 4 km at the narrowest point, faces hazardous sea conditions, made famous by the myth of Scylla and Charybdis. Through a multidisciplinary research project, we document the timing and mode of emergence of this land connection during the last 40 kyr. The integrated analysis takes into consideration morphobathymetric and lithological data, and relative sea…
The Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov
2011
Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov (GBY) is located in the southern Hula Valley, which, in turn, is located in the northernmost segment of the Dead Sea Rift, part of the Great African Rift System. This region is an integral part of the “Levantine Corridor,” a land bridge connecting Africa and Europe, through which the diffusion and biotic exchange of many organisms took place in prehistoric times. The Hula Valley has preserved data of a phenomenon of great importance in human history: archaeological evidence recording hominin diffusion/migration out of Africa and into Eurasia. The unique sedimentological and hydrological conditions prevailing in the Hula, along with extensive and intensive tectonic activ…
Fuzzy Set Theory as a Methodological Bridge between Hard Sciences and Humanities
2013
In this paper, we will investigate the possible role of fuzzy set theory (FST), and more generally the ensemble of technologies and theoretical approaches known as soft computing, as a methodological bridge between hard sciences and humanities. We will try, building on previous works, to investigate the “family links” between these disciplines and show how FST may be of help in promoting a connection between the “two cultures”. We will discuss Carnap and his paradox of explication, the dilemma between imagination and rigor according to Bateson, the problem of interdisciplinarity, and the consequences of precision and exactness.

Marine technologies' control networks analysis and optimization for failsafe operations examined for class certification
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 This thesis presents a suggested solution to improve Marine Technologies (MT) bridgesystems. MT is advancing their technology and use Ethernet as a base. This is new in theoffshore world and certification companies have yet to create clear lines to certify thesenetwork systems. Systems continue to get approved with their current protection, butmeasurements are needed to advance their protection and comply with new demands. Thethesis will go through their current demands and interpret them to optimize MT’s systems andgive the certification companies a clear line to follow. The thesis will analyze MT’s …
A Mathematical Approach to the Body-Mind Problem from a System Personality Theory (A Systems Approach to the Body-Mind Problem)
2013
The dynamics of both the General Factor of Personality and the personality biological indicators, as a consequence of a stimulus, can be described with a short-term dynamic model (the response model). The invariance of the response model at both levels of description (psychological and biological) leads to deduce the bridge model with which psychological and biological levels of description can be related. The bridge model is the key tool to deal with the body–mind problem. An application case is presented setting up an experimental design with two subjects. The General Factor of Personality, c-fos and glutamate dynamics are evaluated as a consequence of a methylphenidate dose intake. The r…
ECCOLA : a method for implementing ethically aligned AI systems
2021
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly widespread and exert a growing influence on society at large. The growing impact of these systems has also highlighted potential issues that may arise from their utilization, such as data privacy issues, resulting in calls for ethical AI systems. Yet, how to develop ethical AI systems remains an important question in the area. How should the principles and values be converted into requirements for these systems, and what should developers and the organizations developing these systems do? To further bridge this gap in the area, in this paper, we present a method for implementing AI ethics: ECCOLA. Following a cyclical action res…
An Azide-Bridged Copper(II) Ferromagnetic Chain Compound Exhibiting Metamagnetic Behavior
1997
The one-dimensional chain complex [Cu(2)(mgr;(2)-1,1-N(3))(2)(mgr;(2)-1,3-NO(3))(2)(mgr;(2)-1,3-Me(3)NCH(2)CO(2))(2)](n)() (1) contains three different bridge groups,mgr;(2)-1,1-azide (end-on),mgr;(2)-nitrate, andmgr;(2)-syn,syn-carboxylate, arranged so that the azide and carboxylate groups bridge equatorially and dictate the intrachain magnetic behavior between the copper magnetic orbitals. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies at low field, and magnetization studies at variable field, reveal dominant intrachain ferromagnetism (J = 26 cm(-)(1)) but also much weaker interchain ferromagnetism (THETAV; = 2.3 K) and antiferromagnetism (J(eff) = -0.18 cm(-)(1)). The structure has…
