Comment on Yuan Et Al

It has come to our attention that the work of Yuan et al. [1] is being represented as definitive regarding the existence of a particular nonstrange, isoscalar, spin three dibaryon, d * , which we [2] , among others [3, 4, 5, 6, 8] , have proposed exists. We therefore wish to comment on this paper and its relation to ours and those of others. In our work [2] , the d * dibaryon is constructed in ...

They then investigate modifications of DIC mainly based on estimates other t...

The sleep-like nature of early mammalian behavioral rhythms: Theoretical comment on Todd et al. (2010).

Early sleep patterns lack several of the major defining physiological criteria used to identify sleep states in adult animals, but many typical aspects of mature sleep can nevertheless be demonstrated at surprisingly early stages of development. In Todd, Gibson, Shaw, & Blumberg (2010), the ability to compensate for enforced sleep deprivation is found to be present already shortly after birth i...
