ENHANCING EVOLUTION AND ENHANCING EVOLUTION
Bioethics, 2010ABSTRACTIt has been claimed in several places that the new genetic technologies allow humanity to achieve in a generation or two what might take natural selection hundreds of millennia in respect of the elimination of certain diseases and an increase in traits such as intelligence.

Are “Genetic Enhancements” Really Enhancements?
Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, 2000The word enhancement is value laden and potentially misleading in the context of genetics. Dictionary definitions of enhance include “increase in value,” “improve,” “appreciate,” and “inflate.” The term genetic enhancement would be better replaced with a more neutral term such as “genetic manipulation” to reflect the fact that the consequences ...

Adaptive contrast enhancement and de-enhancement
Pattern Recognition, 1991Abstract Two different interpolative schemes for adaptive contrast enhancement have been presented for speeding up the contrast enhancement algorithm proposed by Beghdadi and Negrate. To reduce the enhancement of noise in relatively flat regions present in the image, an adaptive power variation technique is used in which the degree of contrast ...

Journal of Public Economics, 2003 Should a subset of member states of a federation be allowed to form a sub-union on some policy issue? When centralization is not politically feasible, allowing an enhanced cooperation agreement among a subset of countries permits the latter to gain benefits which would otherwise be lost.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1991
Since apparent brightness increases as an intermittent luminous source decreases from flicker fusion to approximately 10 cps, the phenomenal blackness induced by an intermittent annulus should also increase as a result of brightness contrast. However, data from 5 observers showed the phenomenal blackness occurring with a 10-cps inducer was greater than

IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1991
A hypercube with extra connections added between pairs of nodes through otherwise unused links is investigated. The extra connections are made in a way that maximizes the improvement of the performance measure of interest under various traffic distributions. The resulting hypercube, called the enhanced hypercube, requires a simple routing algorithm and

Science, 1972
Presentation of a masking stimulus enhances, rather than detracts from, detectability of certain multisegment targets. Present theories of backward masking cannot account for this "backward enhancement" effect, which resembles another puzzling phenomenon, previously reported as target recovery or disinhibition.

Journal of Medical Ethics, 2016
Moral enhancement can be an attractive proposal, but contrary to cognitive enhancement, it is hard to define what kind of intervention would constitute moral enhancement. In an ongoing debate about the subject, Douglas argued that biomedically decreasing countermoral emotions would do so and would be morally permissible in particular cases.

ENHANCED CREATIVITY, ENHANCED WRITING, ENHANCED LEARNING!
2012If a story is a story with its characters living and/or dying in it, then the main concern of short story writers is to create and enliven them. This paper aims to show an alternative way of initiating creative writing in a literature class by encouraging students to move the characters created in different genres such as poetry, painting and fiction ...
