Very good! "Open access" is the normal, default rule for the length of the coast here in Oregon. Always seemed like the sensible approach to me. The concept of a "private beach" would be strikingly alien and unnatural

I'm not a statistician, but what you are describing is a situation in which the survival of the "subjects" (SSDs) is the crucial variable. How quickly the population declines is the question. This is similar to studies in me

Wow, that's both sad and funny. A bit of a time capsule, though when the pressure is on is there ever a team that wouldn't have that kind of interaction? In a couple of past projects I was involved with, email had been sent aroun

Having treated thousands of patients with depression, I appreciate the courage it takes for the author to "open up" about his experience during an episode of depression. Adding to the other comments made, I'd emphasize major

Perhaps even more troublesome, seems Adobe is buying out a company that provides or could develop competing software. Judging by discussions here there's been a lot of dissatisfaction with Adobe's retrenchment to "cloud-only

Usually a researcher takes an interest in a topic and champions the cause. Often the biggest problem is funding. Government or pharmaceutical industry are common funding sources, sometimes private foundations are also sponsors of studies.

FWIW I just got home from a professional meeting at which a topic was the pros and cons of cannabis legalization (as in WA or CO). The relevant part of that presentation was the potential real therapeutic value of some of the 400 or so co

When I read the article few minutes ago the there were several interesting images of the "fairy circles". Their origin is still a mystery. In a way that's comforting, that nature often doesn't yield secrets so easily an

Good list. Among the patients I see metabolic disturbances rank high on the list problems to manage. Some people complain of adverse effects of NAS such as headache, GI symptoms, but in the clinical setting, it's very hard to establi

It's hard to disagree, fiction is made-up stuff having only so much in common with actual reality. And sure there's good and not-so-good fiction and the movies show it. When he brought up the possibility of a great story not bas

With pharmaceuticals the FDA customarily insists that "class effects", meaning adverse effects and black-box warnings, apply to all drugs considered to belong to a category. It doesn't even matter if a brand new drug is far

As a long-time user of FBSD (since 4.x), the book looks like it's quite comprehensive. Keeping up with all the recent changes is difficult, and this detailed reference covers an impressive range of topics (as far as I can determine fr

Bingo. You got it. I visit and buy stuff at local RS stores, and yet I didn't know they sold RP there. Now I'm going to have to check it out. Now that's something they should advertise.

I don't know when you last looked at FreeBSD/PC-BSD but there's been improvement in graphics performance, and driver coverage in general, though admittedly not as much as Linux, Windows, etc. Also PC-BSD is working on a BSD-s

But when it finds a "face" and it's really a pile of old flower pots--not even close to a concept of "human face"--now that's amusing. It shows the limits of the technology, but as in the article, technologic

We do tend to "see" patterns that associate to built-in or learned abstractions, such as faces (or elephants, etc.) in clouds. This is especially the case when social reinforcement is a factor, like when someone points skyward an

Tramadol, like several other opioid drugs, e.g., hydrocodone and oxycodone, has been increasingly associated with dependence in recent years, so have been rescheduled to a more highly controlled classification by the DEA/FDA. This is n

I've used Tcl and Scheme fairly extensively so it's interesting to compare them. Scheme has highly developed macros, and many implementations have non-hygienic macros along with syntax-rules. Most of the coders I know say it&#x2

I should have expressed this more carefully. Distilled water is by itself neutral, but as you note, CO2 and other gases will dissolve in it, forming weak acids. That happens when rain falls, but will also occur in the lab when distilled wa

Thanks, I did miscalculate and your figure is right. That means that Li+ concentration of 0.17 mg/L is ~1/160 of a minimal therapeutic dose. As a drug Li carbonate comes in 300 and 450 mg doses. Dosing is determined by monitorin

Good timing. It happens I'm going to Ashland, OR next week. The town is famous for the Shakespeare Festival (world-class performances) and Lithia Park. The latter is a natural lithium containing mineral water source. It's easy

Thanks for the reference, I hadn't seen it previously. In males, the variation appeared to be more toward decreased color perception, except for one variation associated with increased red sensitivity. It does raise the interesting bu

It's hard to compress what's known about the subject of color perception differences among people with nominally normal color vision. Hypothetical tetrachromacy has been demonstrated, that is, M and L cones with minor differences
