Myron Kendall Brakke: 1921 to 2007.

Jayanthi Kumar, Elizabeth Kendall

This paper outlines a new approach to determining the effect of part complexity on the cost of manufacturing a composite part. It also describes a methodology for predicting cost based on complexity that uses the techniques of Method Time Measurement (MTM). The proposed methodology offers a relatively simple method to predict the fabrication time of a complex component. It is based on the theor...

Edward Calvin Kendall.

E Kendal l was b o r n o n 8 t h M a r c h 1886 in South Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Kendall obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Science in 1908, Master of Science in 1909, and Ph.

From 1910-1911 he worked as a research chemist with Parke Davis where his main task was to isolate thyroid hormones.1 He continued to work on thyroid harmones till 1914 while working at St. Lu...

Web-based versus lab-based studies: A response to Kendall

While in an earlier commentary (Honing & Ladinig, 2008) we stressed the potential of Web-delivered experiments for music perception research, the ongoing discussion on Web-based versus lab-based studies seems to circle around issues of method and control (Mehler, 1999; Kendall, 2008). We agree with the importance of these issues from a methodological point of view. However, we continue to stres...
