This article examines how in the course of his life Darwin transformed his initial judgments about the Fuegian people, and how this change of judgment is associated with the maturation of his concepts to forget the theory of human evolution.

Article discusses the importance of valuing an alternative, ecological, aesthetic and post-modern-exotic hermeneutic in viewing Latin America, and discusses the colonial impression of a "exotic" Latin America.

This article proposes to distinguish three discoveries of Cape Horn.

This article considers an analogous problem in which the observed random variables are the steps of a symmetric random walk. Assuming continuously distributed step sizes, it describes the optimal stopping rules for the cases n = 2 and n = 3 in two versions of the problem: a "full information" version in which the actual steps of the random walk are disclosed to the decision maker; and a "partial information" version in which only the relative ranks of the positions taken by the random walk are observed. When n = 3, the optimal rule and expected rank depend on the distribution of the step sizes. The authors give sharp bounds for the optimal expected rank in the partial information version, and fairly sharp bounds in the full information version.

The article examines the most recent trajectory research, and highlights the importance of developing a broader model for patient evaluation. Traditionally, there has been a widely accepted notion that the transition from acute to chronic pain follows a linear trajectory, where an injury leads to acute episodes, subacute stages, and progresses to a chronic pain condition. However, it appears that pain progression is much more complicated and individualized than this original unsupported assumption.

This article highlights the different molecular-nano systems that are prepared or stabilized using the Chitosan polymer.
