Following up a two-day invitation-only expert workshop in Geneva on the subject of Trust and Precision Medicine, IRGC published a workshop report in April 2018. This report addresses the concept of trust and conditions of trustworthiness in each of the thr ...
A growing body of evidence identifies clothing as an important mediator of human exposure to chemicals and particles, which may have public health significance. This paper reviews and critically assesses the state of knowledge regarding how clothing, durin ...
Through experiments and discrete particle method (DPM) simulations we present evidence for the existence of a recirculating structure, that exists near the front of dense granular avalanches, and is known as a breaking size-segregation (BSS) wave. This is ...
We present novel, low-cost and non-invasive potential diagnostic biomarkers of schizophrenia. They are based on the 'mirrorgame', a coordination task in which two partners are asked to mimic each other's hand movements. In particular, we use the patient's ...
We study the phenomenon of intransitivity in models of dice and voting. First, we follow a recent thread of research for n-sided dice with pairwise ordering induced by the probability, relative to 1/2, that a throw from one die is higher than the other. We ...
