After the first draft sequence of human genome is obtained, the next challenge will be to discover and understand the function and variation of genes and to understand how such qualities affect health and disease. For the sake of this, several powerful techniques for collecting gene expression patterns have been developed, such as microarrays [3], SAGE [7], BodyMap [5] and MPSS [2]. Although th...

This document should be viewed less as a first draft of a standard for public-key encryption, and more as a proposal for what such a draft standard should contain. It is hoped that this proposal will serve as a basis for discussion, from which a consensus for a standard may be formed.

Online networks of investors, analysts, and the media have come to play a critical role in capital markets. I use the latest cybermetric tools from the social sciences to examine how important such virtual networks are—and particularly top financial blogs—in determining market efficiency and information asymmetry between insiders and outsiders. Paper prepared for presentation at the annual meet...

This is the first draft of the entry “Game Theory” to appear in the Sage Handbook of the Philosophy of Social Science (edited by Ian Jarvie & Jesús Zamora Bonilla), Part III, Chapter 16.

WhitePaper Foreword This guide is written to serve as inspiration and as an introduction for those who want to know more about eye tracking and how this tool can be used in package and shelf testing. This guide will not explain a methodology but I hope it will inspire you to develop your own methodologies as well as your own tests and experiments. I would also like to thank the people who have ...

this case report presents a case of fanconi’s anemia with an unusual thumb polydactyly in a 2-year old boy. the extra thumb had no nail, nail bed and distal phalanx. the extra thumb had no active motion.the duplication of the thumb occurred at the carpometacarpal joint but its morphology did not match with any classification described for thumb polydactyly. although his thumb polydactyly was ap...

Rubinstein (2007) has recently found that the frequency of (types of) decisions made in Internet experiments are related to the time taken for these decisions. Other authors have investigated this relationship by exerting some time pressure. In this paper, I report on an attempt to do the opposite, i.e., to enforce a longer reflection time. To ensure that subjects do not just wait but actually ...

In 2007 the Systematic and Evolutionary Biogeographical Association (SEBA) wrote and ratified the first draft of the International Code of Area Nomenclature (ICAN), which was posted subsequently on the SEBA website. The ICAN was published, along with an explanatory discussion, by Ebach et al. (Journal of Biogeography, 2008, 35, 1153–1157), an article that is the subject of criticism by Zaragüet...

We are what we eat, what we experience, and what we learn from others. Here I am reporting my observations nearly 50 years from the day I first taught an Economics class at Michigan State University. I have received my new ID card with RETIRED in bold letters indicating my new status. I report observations about the title topic blending my experience with what I have learned from others through...

The first case is usually referred to as omissive and the second as commissive. What is traditionally perceived as paradoxical is that although such statements may well be true, asserting them is clearly absurd. An account of Moore’s Paradox is an explanation of the absurdity. In the last twenty years, there has also been a focus on the incoherence of judging or believing such propositions. In ...
