Frankly, We Do Give a Damn

"They Do Not Get Along without Us and We Do Not Get Along without Them...": Uncertainty in Information System Development

This paper discusses about issues related to uncertainties when developing information system in inter-organizational relationships (IORs). The study is a part of longitudinal grounded theory study where a business critical information system development (ISD) project is retrospectively followed over a time period of a one and half year. The main actors are two private sector organizations that...

Mercury Amalgam Fillings: Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics

Recently I reported on the methodology and machinations involved in vaccine-related injury cover-ups by the elitists in science and government at the Simpsonwood Conference on Thimerosal in vaccines. A new scandal has been recently released concerning the safety of mercury contained in dental amalgam, which is of equal magnitude and again showing the modus operandi of the government/elitist sci...

Why monkeys do not get multiple sclerosis (spontaneously)

The goal of this review is to apply an evolutionary lens to understanding the origins of multiple sclerosis (MS), integrating three broad observations. First, only humans are known to develop MS spontaneously. Second, humans have evolved large brains, with characteristically large amounts of metabolically costly myelin. This myelin is generated over long periods of neurologic development-and pe...

Some protein interaction data do not exhibit power law statistics.

It has been claimed that protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are scale-free, and that identifying high-degree "hub" proteins reveals important features of PPI networks. In this paper, we evaluate the claims that PPI node degree sequences follow a power law, a necessary condition for networks to be scale-free. We provide two PPI network examples which clearly do not have power laws when a...
