Concept: Cancer immunoscore. Also: TNM staging. Background: Cancers are traditionally scored using TNM (tumor, lymph node, metastasis) staging. Evidence that proximity of immune cells to tumor is correlative to therapy success. Technology: Cancers can be beneficially scored by using description of local immune cells. Source: Based on a News piece published in Nature (3 April 2013). Concept:...

Questioning delineation within Evernote
The title really says it all, but I can say it again. This program utilizes different levels of organization. At the present time I observe: Account Stack Notebook Note Text There can be various items within each level and in hierarchal relationships. (Cf. tags). Within each level, how many items in how many hierarchies, and what is their content? For most items, the content is also their name...

Yesterday I (1) summarized the Markdown code, (2) I wrote a diary entry (essentially worked out that a problem was not), and (3) wrote up the basics towards a strategy for looking after myself. Media/Website/Product: Adagio Teas. Media/Poem via E2. Media/Picture of Snowden via DA. Media/Website/Products: CSYCB. Adagio Teas Meta: In the following paragraph (and repeatedly below) I’m testing...

Meta1: Look at yesterday and realize that I seriously need to revise my ability to use whatever code {fyi: markdown} this site uses for formatting! Meta2: Amongst the (potential) benefits of using a contents page, as introduced yesterday, is that it allows for easy copying and/or revision, and/or allowing partial-continuity and/or reference. Markdown. Diary; or, Dealing with a non-problem...

Meta: Idea: Have a list of contents at the top of each date. Each listing to be the text of a heading, or if not then at least some form of anchoring as repeated in the body. I follow now with an exemplar instance of this idea: NOTES on my reading of KANT’s Prolegomena. Dear DIARY. SCIENCE or JOURNAL CLUB on studying NEURONAL COMPLEXITY. Meta: The (mere) fact that I have more to write about...

Editorial notes: The Evernote journal entry written on this day contains material (see the second paragraph in the post below) that is fundamental and pivotal to understanding Shai’s life philosophy. I decided to deviate from one of my editorial principles and highlighted it for ease of reading. While the point has been raised in the ‘Editorial notes’ elsewhere, the core of...

The last thing I wrote on Kant, was last month, and was: (2) Categories are ultimately derived from the laws of logic and that is an element in what proves their veracity. (2.1.) The task to identify the underlying grammar and vocabulary of language, is a phenomenon comparable to that of identifying the concepts that underly experience (S39). [This analogy makes it easier to swallow the...

(1.7) There is a limit to knowledge in the noumenon, although there is a temptation that other philosophers have fallen into by transgressing that boundary. (This being the last thing I wrote yesterday). This idea is reaffirmed in the quote: “The possibility of experience, in general, is therefore at the same time the universal law of nature, and the principles of the experience are the...

Content: Media review: Spartacus Continuing break-down of Kant-reading Media review: Spartacus Media I appreciate: Spartacus. Superficially this would seem the farthest of likelihood, yet whatever those base characters may be, they are redeemed by any number of virtues. It might be fairer to begin with the listing of the ostensible detriments. First and foremost, it appears as not much more than...
