Cely and Sarmiento (2011) took issue with the cladistic analysis of relationships among species of the genus Synoeca by Andena et al. (2009a), and presented a reanalysis.

MON 863, a genetically engineered corn variety that contains the gene for modified Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3Bb1 protein to protect against corn rootworm, was tested in a 90-day toxicity study as part of the process to gain regulatory approval. This study was reanalyzed by Séralini et al. who contended that the study showed possible hepatorenal effects of MON 863. An Expert Panel was convened ...

1. introduction current statistical methods may be unable to accurately predict recurrence intervals of rare, large magnitude floods. the usual procedure involves extrapolation from gauged hydrological records documenting 30–40 year records of observed (normally small) floods to the estimation of the quantifies and recurrence intervals of very large, rare floods. this conventional approaches be...

Last year Swan et al. (1) published a reanalysis of data from 61 studies originally compiled and analyzed by Carlsen et al. (2). Just prior to the appearance of the Swan et al. artide, we published a reanalysis in another journal (3). Regional differences were considered in both reanalyses, but we examined only the effect ofyear in the final models (fertility status was also considered in the i...
