Epidemiology of ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia in Spain: A cross-sectional study

Introduction: Ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia are rare neurodegenerative syndromes. We aimed to determine the prevalence of these disorders in Spain in 2019. Patients and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, multicentre, retros...

Narrative Medicine

Abstract Narrative medicine has emerged in response to a commodified health care system that places corporate and bureaucratic concerns over the needs of the patient. Generated from a confluence of sources including humanities and medicine,...

Medicine in Europe: Complementary medicine in Europe

Complementary or unconventional treatments are used by many doctors and other therapists throughout Europe. The major forms are acupuncture, homoeopathy, manual therapy or manipulation, and phytotherapy or herbal medicine. The relative popu...

Novel Blended Learning on Artificial Intelligence for Medical Students: Qualitative Interview Study

Abstract BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly relevant in everyday clinical practice, with Food and Drug Administration–approved AI solutions now available in many specialties. This developmen...

A Two-Dimensional Sequential Packing Method for Lunar Regolith Particles Based on Random Polygons

To accurately characterize the effects of polydisperse particle sizes, multimineral composition, and angular morphology on the packing structure of lunar regolith, a two-dimensional sequential packing method based on random convex octagons ...

Application-Oriented Performance Benchmarks for Quantum Computing

In this work we introduce an open source suite of quantum application-oriented performance benchmarks that is designed to measure the effectiveness of quantum computing hardware at executing quantum applications. These benchmarks probe a qu...

Quantum computing. 3

For part 2, see ibid., September/October (2001). Every now and then surprising new theories appear on the scientific stage that hold the promise of dramatic new technologies. Quantum computing is one of these. The ideas in this field radica...

Toward a Global Cybersecurity Standard of Care? Exploring the Implications of the 2014 NIST Cybersecurity Framework on Shaping Reasonable National and International Cybersecurity Practices

"Even though U.S. congressional and multilateral efforts aimed at enhancing cybersecurity have thus far largely failed in their aims, courts are using existing doctrines including negligence to hold companies accountable for cyber attacks. ...

The role of the Cybersecurity Strategy of the Republic of Poland in ensuring cybersecurity

Cybersecurity belongs to the area of activity of state and supra-state actors, giving direction to national and international systems of law as components of national and supranational systems of political, economic, military cooperation, e...

Cybersecurity of Online Proctoring Systems

The online proctored examinations are adopted exceedingly in all forms of academic education and professional training. AI with Machine Learning technology take the leading role in supporting authentication, authorization, and operational c...

The Impact of China on Cybersecurity: Fiction and Friction

Exaggerated fears about the paralysis of digital infrastructure and the loss of competitive advantage contribute to a spiral of mistrust in U.S.-China relations. In every category of putative Chinese cyber threat, there are also considerabl...

Cyberspace and Cybersecurity

Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to discuss two basic concepts—cyberspace and cybersecurity. The author describes the genesis of both and attempts to define them. In the introduction, the author briefly addresses the issue of the pro...

Cybersecurity: A Pre-history

The ‘cyber’ issue is not new, but rather has taken a half-century to develop. Indeed, it was already decades old before the general public and many senior leaders recognized its salience in the mid-1990s. It developed, moreover, along a log...

Doctrine for Cybersecurity

A succession of doctrines for enhancing cybersecurity has been advocated in the past, including prevention, risk management, and deterrence through accountability. None has proved effective. Proposals that are now being made view cybersecur...

Hyperbolic Neural Networks

Hyperbolic spaces have recently gained momentum in the context of machine learning due to their high capacity and tree-likeliness properties. However, the representational power of hyperbolic geometry is not yet on par with Euclidean geomet...

From the neuron doctrine to neural networks
