THERE ARE NO PUBLIC-POLICY IMPLICATIONS A Reply to Rushton and Jensen (2005)

J. P. Rushton and A. R. Jensen (2005) purport to show public-policy implications arising from their analysis of alleged genetic bases for group mean differences in IQ. This article argues that none of these implications in fact follow from any of the data they present. The risk in work such as this is that public-policy implications may come to be ideologically driven rather than data driven, a...

Reply to Jensen et al.: Equitable offers are not rationally maximizing.

When playing the ultimatum game, chimpanzees and children shifted their behavior from selfish offers in the preference test to more equitable ones in the ultimatum game (1). Why did they do so? All that we can measure is behavior, not motivations. Nonetheless , in human studies equitable outcomes are interpreted as reflecting a sense of fairness , thus this explanation must be considered for th...

Reply to Jensen and Blackledge: Dual quantifications of intrinsically disordered proteins by NMR ensembles and molecular dynamics simulations.

Jensen and Blackledge (1) compared the residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) of the molecular recognition element of the C-terminal domain of the measles virus nucleoprotein (NTAIL) computed from the NMR-based ensembles and the ones computed from the ensemble of our molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (2). They found that the NMRbased ensemble led to better consistency with experimental RDCs than t...

Asymptotic behavior of alternative Jensen and Jensen type functional equations

In 1941 D.H. Hyers solved the well-known Ulam stability problem for linear mappings. In 1951 D.G. Bourgin was the second author to treat the Ulam problem for additive mappings. In 1982–2005 we established the Hyers–Ulam stability for the Ulam problem of linear and nonlinear mappings. In 1998 S.-M. Jung and in 2002–2005 the authors of this paper investigated the Hyers–Ulam stability of additive ...
