The video installation as naked evidence of the extreme condition of time and culture unembellished by painting that would convey well-being and illusory calm, it is precisely the technological phenomenality of Vadim Kosmachev that manifests the critical point, the ultimate measure of the world, its ruinousness, its inflation and its splendid illusoriness. Its laminar nature conceals spatial paradoxes where confront the document and the reality of human presence in the... 

Paradoxical as it may seem, one can use chemical weapons to spare lives, rather than extinguish them. The world watched in fascination when the Russians, in November 2002, chose to deploy a relatively non-lethal chemical weapon in a Moscow theater. Inside were a few dozen Chechen rebels, armed with grenades and automatic weapons, holding hostage almost a thousand innocent Russian civilians. The terrorists were prepared to destroy everyone in the building if the Russians did not meet their demands. Fanatical and desperate, they were not afraid to die along with their victims. 

The crucial missing part in this scenario is the gateway through which these worlds will communicate how can the digital world sense and respond to changes in the real world Unfortunately, it would appear from the lack of field deployable devices in commercial production that attempts to integrate molecular sensor science into portable devices have failed to bear the fruits promised this problem is what we call the chemo-/biosensing paradox.4... 

Then Y is an element of a non-standard sequence if Y e R and M e N. We say that YM converges to Y if Y - st Y for all infinite integers M. Continuity and differentiability can be similarly defined, for example ff(a) = st (f(a+h) - f(a) /h for all infinitesimals h. The Dirac delta function can be defined pointwise and new approaches to the theory of probability and stochastic differential equations are opened up. But these are applications and paradoxically I have been describing the abstraction that is the non-standard world in very concrete terms. This is no place to go back and try to present it abstractly, but it stands as an example of a recent step forward in the path of abstraction that began two and a half millenia ago (see also (23,24)). 

Doolittle begins his article by asking the big question How in the world did this complex and delicately balanced process evolve . .. The paradox was, if each protein depended on activation by another, how could the system ever have arisen Of what use would any part of the scheme be without the whole ensemble ... 

The retrospective attention that insiders have lavished upon Chemical Risk, as well as the shot heard around the world impact the article had at the time of its publication, is somewhat paradoxical. Chemical Risk was not the first article to address the issues it raised, nor was the knowledge it imparted unfamiliar territory, especially for those working in mutation research. Nevertheless, the article struck a highly responsive chord among many in mutation research and beyond. Its publication on the eve of scientists mobilization around the issue of environmental mutagenesis suggests that the ideas and concerns expressed in Chemical Risk —and perhaps even more important, the manner in which those ideas were packaged—played an unexpectedly important role.

Epilepsy affects 0.5% of the world s population and can have a multitude of underlying etiologies, including several mutations in CNS sodium channels. Sodium channel mutations linked to human epileptic syndromes typically shift activation to more hyperpolarized potentials, slow inactivation kinetics, accelerate recovery from inactivation, and/or increase the persistent current [48]. Seemingly paradoxically, some mutations appear to result in non-functional channels [48-50].
