Chimpanzee Problem Comprehension: Insufficient Evidence

Chimpanzee Problem Comprehension : Insufficient Evidence

approximately linear rate to 5.5°C. Control and exposure data were obtained between 3.9° and 5.3°C. A blower (100 ft3/min) provided airflow from above. The airflow, measured below the empty chamber with a hot-wire anemometer (Datametrics Airflow Multimeter Model 800 VTP), was approximately 6 m per minute in the region of the lever and increased to approximately 18 m per minute at the opposite s...

The preventive polypill--much promise, insufficient evidence.

Insufficient evidence for changing editorial policy.

Dear Editor, With great interest I read the article by Lehmann and Haux [1] in Methods of Information in Medicine (MIM) and the companion article, published in parallel, by Haux and Lehmann [2] in Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI). The authors, who are the respective editors-in-chief of MIM and ACI, evaluate whether the objective to “bridge the divide between ‘bench research’ and applying what...

Insufficient evidence: the problems of evidence-based nursing.

Evidence-based medicine was first proposed in the early 1990s as a means of integrating clinical expertise with the best evidence from research. It has recently gained a foothold in nursing, where despite calls for a broad and nursing-oriented definition of what should count as evidence, it appears to be propounding the randomized controlled trial (RCT) as the gold standard. This paper challeng...

The Chimpanzee Genome and the Problem of Biological Similarity

Evidence for the great similarity between chimpanzees and humans was recently reinforced with the publication of a rough draft of the chimpanzee genome. The sequence is in >361,000 pieces with a median length of 15,700 nucleotides. The sequence differs from the human genome by 35 million nucleotide mismatches (1.23%) and 10 million alignment gaps (~3-4%). Rather than attempting to explain this ...
