Redressing the sex imbalance in knowledge of vector biology.
The recent development of transgenic mosquitoes that are resistant to infection by the Plasmodium malarial parasite is a promising new tool in the fight against malaria. However, results of large-scale field releases of alternatively modified mosquitoes carried out during the 1970s and 1980s suggest that this approach could be difficult to implement in the field. These past attempts to control ...
متن کاملThe Hybridization of Social Science Knowledge
A TWOFOLD PROCESS CAN BE SEEK in the growth of science: the fragmentation of formal disciplines and a recombination of the specialties resulting from this fragmentation. The division of disciplines into specialized subfields has led to the development of hybrid specialties. The process of hybridization consists, first of all, of borrowing and lending concepts, methods, theories, and praxes. The...
متن کاملSocial Behavior Bias and Knowledge Management Optimization
Individuals can manage and process novel information only to some degree. For instance, it was recently shown that when performing a perceptual novel task, there is a cost to high information flow. Hence, there is a balance between too little information (i.e. not getting enough to finish the task), and too much information (i.e. a processing constraint). In other words, actions are selected so...

15 صفحه اولSocial science. Publication bias in the social sciences: unlocking the file drawer.
We studied publication bias in the social sciences by analyzing a known population of conducted studies--221 in total--in which there is a full accounting of what is published and unpublished. We leveraged Time-sharing Experiments in the Social Sciences (TESS), a National Science Foundation-sponsored program in which researchers propose survey-based experiments to be run on representative sampl...
