Seven Well Known Fundamental Flaws against Innovations in Construction Chemistry

Seven Pervasive Statistical Flaws in Cognitive Training Interventions

The prospect of enhancing cognition is undoubtedly among the most exciting research questions currently bridging psychology, neuroscience, and evidence-based medicine. Yet, convincing claims in this line of work stem from designs that are prone to several shortcomings, thus threatening the credibility of training-induced cognitive enhancement. Here, we present seven pervasive statistical flaws ...

Fundamental Flaws in Feller’s Classical Derivation of Benford’s Law

Feller’s classic text An Introduction to Probability Theory and its Applications contains a derivation of the well known significant-digit law called Benford’s law. More specifically, Feller gives a sufficient condition (“large spread”) for a random variable X to be approxi­ mately Benford distributed, that is, for log 10 X to be approximately uniformly distributed modulo one. This note shows t...

Some Fundamental Flaws in the Design of Sexual Harassment Policies

This paper suggests that the current social issue/problem concerning sexual harassment is exacerbated by some theoretical problems found in sexual harassment policies. There are a number of ethical considerations that need to be considered but in particular the distinction between the social and the individual is problematic in the liberal tradition. Practical problems in the application of pol...

Detecting known host security flaws over a network connection

To test if a host contains any known security flaws over a network connection a Vulnerability Assessment (VA) could be made. This thesis describes different techniques used by VA tools over a network connection to detect known security flaws. To decrease the risk of flaws not being detected, several VA tools could be used. There is no common way of merging information from different VA tools. T...
