In this paper, I examine the charge that Gopnik and Meltzoff's 'Child as Scientist' program, outlined and defended in their 1997 book Words, Thoughts and Theories is vitiated by a form of 'cognitive individualism' about science. Although this charge has often been leveled at Gopnik and Meltzoff's work, it has rarely been developed in any detail. I suggest that we should distinguish between two ...

Despite much recent interest, it remains unclear what determines the rate of evolution of gene expression. To study this issue we develop a new measure, called "Expression Conservation Index" (ECI), to quantify the degree of tissue-expression conservation between two homologous genes. Applying this measure to a large set of gene expression data from human and mouse, we show that tissue expressi...

Specific features of biopolymers which determine their functionality, in particular the catalytic activity of enzymes, are discussed. Electronicconformational interactions (Ed) are responsible for the most important properties of biopolymers. A survey of theoretical work is given, devoted to ECI, electron and atom transfer in enzymatic reactions. The qualitative methods of quantum chemistry are...

This study conducted an electrical energy audit activity at the Pakuwon City Mall 2 (PCM2) Surabaya Building to determine utilization of in system which includes type energy, amount used, equipment, intensity, load profile, performance Energy Saving Opportunities (ESOs) and value Consumption Intensity (ECI) air-conditioned room. From calculation results is obtained that ECI PCM2 for AC room 8.2...

Ecdysteroids are a class of steroid hormones in arthropods that control molting and metamorphosis through interaction with intracellular nuclear receptors. In contrast to the extensive literature describing their biosynthetic pathways signaling components, little has been known about how these traveling into out cells lipid bilayers cell membranes. Recently, series studies conducted fruit fly D...

This paper aims to analyze empirically how manufacturing, disaggregated into subsectors by R&D intensity, influences the level of economic complexity (ECI). For this, two methods are used: i) parametric, and ii) non-parametric: a) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) b) Malmquist Decomposition. The econometric results suggests that allocation workers in manufacture (of high level) has a positive...

BACKGROUND Interventions to increase cooking skills (CS) and food skills (FS) as a route to improving overall diet are popular within public health. This study tested a comprehensive model of diet quality by assessing the influence of socio-demographic, knowledge- and psychological-related variables alongside perceived CS and FS abilities. The correspondence of two measures of diet quality furt...

Latar belakang: Autograft tulang digunakan pada operasi rekonstruksi kasus tumor tulang. Extracorporeal irradiation (ECI) pada tulang digunakan untuk membunuh sel tumor. Namun radiasi juga menimbulkan efek negatif terhadap osteoinduksi dan osteogenensis untuk inkorporasi autograft tulang. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari pengaruh iradiasi dengan dosis 50-300 Gy terhadap kemampuan inkorporas...

In Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b isolates from sporadic listeriosis, heavy metal resistance was primarily encountered in certain clonal groups (ECI, ECII, and ECIa). All arsenic-resistant isolates harbored the arsenic resistance cassette previously identified in pLI100; ECIa harbored additional arsenic resistance genes and a novel cadmium resistance determinant in a conserved chromosomal l...

External Cause of Injuries (ECI) represent a serious health problem, however diagnosis using nonspecific codes may underestimate their severity. This situation is common in many hospitals, affecting the resources allocation and health priorities. Analyzing data from the emergency department of a hospital, four predictive models were implemented: Text-Logistic regression (TF-IDF), logistic regre...
