Asymmetry and Incoherence: A Reply to Cyr

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...

Correspondence: Reply to ‘Space-time asymmetry undermines water yield assessment'

We appreciate the comments by Berghuijs and Woods1 on our study2 that investigates how land cover and climate affect watershed water yield at the global scale. We used published data worldwide to examine the validity of Fuh’s equation and address the interactions of water yield coefficient (R/P) with wetness index (P/PET) and watershed characteristics (m). Berghuijs and Woods1 argue that we imp...

A Problem in Avicennas View on the Origination of the Soul and a Reply to It

Neutrality without incoherence: a response to Clark.

In an earlier paper [1], we found that equations based on the neutral theory of biodiversity enjoyed considerable success in predicting the relaxation times for avifaunal extinctions on isolated habitats. We suggested that the neutral theory of biodiversity might turn out to be a useful tool in conservation biology. However, Clark [2] maintains that our study ‘does not need UNTB, neither does i...

News and Views Keeping Asymmetry in Perspective: A Reply to Eckhardt and Henneberg

Eckhardt and Henneberg’s criticism of our analysis of craniofacial asymmetry centers on the lack of one-to-one correspondence between our landmarks and the linear measurements presented in the study by Jacob et al. (2006). This argument is a red herring: the salient topic for debate regards our findings that asymmetry in LB1 is within the normal ranges of asymmetry exhibited by African apes and...
