Winnowing the Chaff of Charlatanism from the Wheat of Science

چکیده
Experts and lay people alike can sometimes find it difficult to demarcate the absurd. Here I propose a set of criteria that may be helpful in achieving this in the realm of healthcare: falsifiability, plausibility and some hallmarks of pseudoscience. Applying this method is unlikely to be fool-proof but it might be a valuable aid in discriminating credible from incredible health claims.

Winnowing Wheat from Chaff: The Chunking GA
In this work, we investigate the ability of a Chunking GA (ChGA) to reduce the size of variable length chromosomes and control bloat. The ChGA consists of a standard genetic algorithm augmented by a communal building block memory system and associated memory chromosomes and operators. A new mxn MaxSum fitness function used for this work is also described. Results show that a ChGA equipped with ...
متن کاملRemobilization of water soluble carbohydrates in non-leaf organs and contribution to grain yield in winter wheat under reduced irrigation
The remobilization of water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) has an important role for grain yield. This study investigated the accumulation and remobilization of WSC in non-leaf organs (chaff, upper stem, and lower stem) and their contribution to grain yield, under different irrigation levels (rainfed, reduced irrigation, and full irrigation) and seeding rate treatments (450, 600 and 750 plants...
متن کاملA Study of "Wheat" and "Chaff" in Source Code
Natural language is robust against noise. The meaning of many sentences survives the loss of words, sometimes many of them. Some words in a sentence, however, cannot be lost without changing the meaning of the sentence. We call these words “wheat” and the rest “chaff”. The word “not” in the sentence “I do not like rain” is wheat and “do” is chaff. For human understanding of the purpose and beha...
متن کاملPlants as highly diverse sources of construction wood, handicrafts and fibre in the Heihe valley (Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi, China): the importance of minor forest products
BACKGROUND Chinese rural communities living among species-rich forests have little documentation on species used to make handicrafts and construction materials originating from the surrounding vegetation. Our research aimed at recording minor wood uses in the Heihe valley in the Qinling mountains. METHODS We carried out 37 semi-structured interviews in seven villages. RESULTS We documented ...
متن کاملParticipation of Green Organs to Grain Filling in Triticum turgidum var durum Grown under Mediterranean Conditions
In wheat, flag leaf, stem, chaff and awns contribute to grain filling through photosynthesis and/or re-mobilization. Environmental and genetic effects on the relative contribution of each organ were examined by analyzing the consequences of sink-source manipulations (shading and excision) and by comparing carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) values in dry matter (at maturity) and sap (two weeks af...
