Pedigree: The Morgan lineage

Pedigree: The Morgan lineage

I am astonished at Lewis Wolpert’s claim that all the big principles in biology are understood — especially in developmental biology. If one knew all the principles then new facts would simply slot into their expected places, as they do in any well understood aspect of physics. But in all areas of biology bewildering new facts are discovered at an increasing rate. I frankly do not believe that ...

The Morgan pedigree

What is it famous for? Outside Australia, it is mainly known for killing rabbits, although this is far from a major function. The CSIRO's charter is to use science to benefit Australia — industrially, environmentally and socially. How does it help the environment?

Introduction Landsat Thematic Mapper ( TM ) imagery was used to analyze patterns of landscape diversity in the seasonal tropical forests of northeastern Guatemala. TM radiance and the radiance coefficient of variation (CV) were significant in discriminating land-cover types. Cluster analysis of TM4, TM5, and TM7 radiance produced six distinct types of landcover. Green leaf biomass from TM4 and ...

De Morgan Triples Revisited

In this paper we overview basic known results about the varieties generated by De Morgan triples and about the problem to find equations defining the variety generated by a concrete De Morgan triple. We also provide some alternative proofs and some new results, specially for the case of Łukasiewicz De Morgan triples.
