One more time: bibliometric analysis of scientific output remains complicated

Dear Sir, In the May issue of the Netherlands Heart Journal, we published an update [1] of a previous bibliometric analysis of the scientific work of Dutch professors in clinical cardiology [2]. The paper was accompanied by an editorial [3] in the same issue and another one in the subsequent June issue [4]. Van der Wall [3] summarises our paper and emphasises that we have stated ‘....that citat...

The Krapina dental remains.

An analysis of age, specimen associations, demographic characteristics, and metric features is presented for the Krapina dental sample. A critical analysis of emergence criteria applicable to skeletal samples leads to an occlusal eruption schedule which can be used to determine wear rates. These are used to provide dental ages for the Krapina jaws and isolated teeth. A number of individual asso...

Identification of Skeletal Remains

Phosphorus remains exciting!

Today, the search for new element modifications is basically characterized by work under extreme conditions, in particular, high pressures and very often high temperatures. This situation is not surprising since the discovery of new elements and their characterization under normal conditions is more a topic of chemical-historical literature. Despite this, surprises are still found in the area o...

What remains of probability?

Of course, a definition—both coordinative1 and logical— plays a constitutive role in the very concept to be defined. Nevertheless, there seems no reason to include into the definition of probability that it “satisfies the Kolmogorovian axioms of probability theory”. For, once we know—...
