Mirror worlds

Of particular interest is the question of whether this terrestrial chirality is universe-wide or whether alternative mirror worlds exist where receptors are composed of D-amino acids and L-sugars. However, given that the underlying chirality of ligand-receptor interactions derives from the chirality of the protein substrate, it would be... 

In the mathematical sense, this means that we can select freely one and only one oxidation number in the set of equations and also the sign. That applies also to the physical interpretation, after which it is unimportant whether we take charges positive or negative. However, from this is taken off the question, whether two mirror worlds can exist, with respect to the charges of the various particles built up from. Mathematics permits both worlds. ... 

A plane of symmetry approximates the outside world as a mirror image... 

Molecular sizes and shapes play key roles in determining chemical and physical properties. The immense variety of chemical and physical properties displayed by substances in the natural world mirrors an equally immense variety of different types of molecules. However, variety need not come from a large number of different elements. The molecules that make up a cup of coffee are made up almost entirely of atoms of just five elements hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Carbon, in particular, is capable of combining in many different ways, generating molecules with elaborate stractures. 

For real-world signals with finite records, the convolution processes leading to decomposition and reconstruction of a signal, require data in regions beyond the signal s endpoints. Assuming a mirror image of the... 

Object-oriented development (OOD) bases the software structure on a model of the users world within which the software will work. One benefit is that when the users talk in their own vocabulary about changes in their requirements, it is easier to see which parts of the software are relevant. The mirroring is not always exact—because of the constraints of platform, performance, and generalization—but if the differences are localized and clearly documented, the benefits of OOD are not lost. 

Mirroring a good model of the world in your code is good for simulations Every time you change your picture of the world, you can more easily find which parts of the simulation code to change. This is how OOP originated with the Simula language. 

The Barberini Collection comprises 24 various scientific instruments, supposedly put together by the Barberini family in Florence - particularly Maffeo Barberino (1568 1644), later Pope Urban VIII, and more particularly Cardinal Francesco Barberino (1597-1679). Unfortunately, only one piece of this magnificent collection can be definitely traced back to Francesco Barberino -a large concave burning mirror. The first complete list of the collection dates only to the First World War, and it was purchased by Michel and Landau of Paris in the 1930s, and some of it was exhibited at the Descartes Exhibition at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris in 1936. The complete collection was finally purchased by the National Maritime Museum in 1949 (Shaw, 1973). 

First, the most recent (October, 2000) revision of the Declaration of Helsinki (World Medical Association, 2000) calls for discontinuing the use of placebo controlled trials in patients. While this is not currently binding on U.S. trials (FDA has specifically said that they will not mirror this as a requirement), and is intended to protect the health of participating patient subjects by precluding having some denied existing efficacious treatments (which would be the effect in most—but not all—cases), it will also likely cause the numbers of subjects required in a trial to increase. This will further stretch the economic aspects of limitations on the power of trials to assess potential drug safety in what will be the intended patient population. Trials are already very expensive each additional subject enrolled costs 15,000 or more in a Phase 11 or 111 trial. 

Lorenz replied to his critics in his 1961 paper Phylogenetische Anpassung und adaptive Modifikation des Verhaltens. It was translated for Chicago University Press as Evolution and Modification of Behavior (1965). He presented a definition of the innate as the phylogenetically adapted, pointing out that adaptations mirror facets of the objective world impinging on the organism s fitness.
