Creationism and conspiracism share a common teleological bias

Thrombopoietin and neurotrophins share a common domain.

DNA sequences share a common syntax

Introduction The usage of short oligonucleotides in sequences (the so-called genomic signature) has been shown to be species-specific. Since the genomic signature can be observed in DNA sequences as short as 1Kb, it appears to result from a “style” that characterizes the organization of DNA all over each genome. As a consequence, given a short DNA sequence, it is generally possible to find its ...

A Peer Common Interest Share Model

On-line communities on the Internet are highly self-organizing, dynamic and ubiquitous. The prime interest of peers in this community is often sharing common interest, even when compromising privacy. This paper presents a peer coordination strategy and a data sharing process for peers on the Internet which allows them to discover their common interest in terms of sets of frequently visited URLs...

Low back and common widespread pain share common genetic determinants.

Low back (LBP) and chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain (CWP) both have a significant genetic component and are associated with increased body mass index (BMI). We examined whether LBP and CWP share common genetic factors, and to what extent this correlation is modified by the genetic factors influencing BMI. Genetic analysis of binary traits such as pain is not simple, particularly if their...

Science, evolution, and creationism.

O n December 20, 2005, John E. Jones III, federal judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, issued a 130-page-long decision (Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District) declaring that ‘‘The overwhelming evidence at trial established that ID [intelligent design] is a religious view, a mere re-labeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory . . . ID is not supported by any peer-reviewed r...
