...government's contribution to the Global Fund was flatlined, exacerbating an existing shortfall that threatens its work. A recent paper by Harvard researchers Rochelle Walensky and Daniel Kuritzkes warned that failure to increase HIV/AIDS funding could have serious consequences for countries like South Africa, where only a linear (as opposed to exponential) expansion in the number of people treated with ART would result in 1.2 million avoidable deaths over the next five years...
Sebald’s response to this philosophical proposition is at once local, in telling the story of one man’s struggle to prevent his own history from “lapsing into oblivion,” and metaphysical, in challenging our assumptions about the linear nature of time. Perhaps, says Austerlitz, “all the moments of time have co-existed simultaneously… past events have not yet occurred but are waiting to do so at the moment when we think of them...
Tian’s method hinges on the introduction of bends known as “kinks” into the previously linear structure of the nanowire. He told The Crimson this week that his discovery was inspired by what he saw in nature—both the “kinks” in organic molecules that give them specific geometries and the crystalline structure of many minerals...
Aside from their potential use as a means of conducting electricity, the nanowires may serve to localize functionality at a particular point within the nanostructure, said Ping Xie, a postdoctoral fellow and author. With one-dimensional nanowires, it is currently difficult to determine where activity is concentrated within the linear wire...
Updike’s possessions in the current archive already make up 308 linear feet and will take an estimated two years to sort through. Now that’s a lot of Updike...
