Matrimonial Patterns and Trans-Ethnic Entities
Despite the complexity of their object of study, i.e. human society and culture, anthropologists seldom address complexity per se. In this paper I would like to briefly suggest approaches to deal with certain ...

Dynamic Process of Pulmonary Data Analysis: From the Athlete Mouth to the Coach Hands
The dynamic behaviour of pulmonary gas exchange variables (particularly oxygen uptake—VO2) during and after exercise has been studied throughout different exercise modes [1]. However, from the time VO2 is measure...

Software is Not Fragile
Trying all simple changes (first order mutations) to executed C, C++ and CUDA source code shows software engineering artefacts are more robust than is often assumed. Of those that compile, up to 89 % run witho...
