Reply to Boslough: Prior studies validating research are ignored

Reply to Boslough: Is Greenland Pt anomaly global or local?

Besides providing additional arguments against the Pt depositing event (1) as a cause of the Younger Dryas cooling, Boslough’s letter (2) raises an important question about the scale of this event. Indeed, a localized deposition of Pt by the Cape York meteorite shower is an attractive hypothesis considered by us initially (3), but abandoned because of (i) a large difference in the Pt/Ir ratios ...

Our research program validating the triarchic theory of successful intelligence: reply to Gottfredson

This article discusses our research program construct-validating the triarchic theory of successful intelligence, and also discusses some objections that have been raised to the triarchic theory. The article is divided into five parts. First, it discusses what our positive program is for using converging operations to construct-validate the theory of successful intelligence. Second, it describe...

Tumor Angiogenesis: Pericytes and Maturation Are Not to Be Ignored

Angiogenesis, an essential component of tumor growth and survival, is regulated by complex interactions between several cell types and soluble mediators. Heterogeneous tumor vasculature originates from the collective effect of the nature of carcinoma and the complexity of the angiogenic network. Although the application of angiogenesis inhibitors in some types of cancers has shown clinical bene...

Reply to Holliday and Boslough et al.: Synchroneity of widespread Bayesian-modeled ages supports Younger Dryas impact hypothesis.

Holliday (1) rejects age-depth models for the Younger Dryas boundary layer (YDB) in Kennett et al. (2), claiming that they are incorrect for several reasons, including age reversals, high age uncertainties, and use of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. These same claims previously were presented in Meltzer et al. (3) and were discussed and refuted in Kennett et al. (2). These criti...
