Agroforestry is a land-use system that includes the use of woody perennial, agricultural crops, and animals in combination to achieve beneficial ecological economical interactions for food, fiber, livestock production. However, limited understanding, incorrect information, negative mindset could hinder competitiveness this practice. This case study agrosilviculture community growers attempts ex...

We are grateful to the commentators for providing many stimulating and valuable observations. The main point of our article was to call attention to the overestimation of individual differences correlations in a subset of neuroimaging papers. To structure our discussion of these comments, we list the main points from our paper, note where commentators have agreed or disagreed with each, and pro...

Methods. Primary care providers from the St Louis, Missouri, area completed a 29-item, self-administered, mailed questionnaire (eAppendix, http://www.archpediatrics .com). Questions assessed attitudes toward and behaviors regarding screening, diagnosis, and management of depressed adolescent patients. Four-point categorical scales were used to indicate agreement with attitudinal statements and ...

I disagreed with this judgment. It is routine and indeed important for scientific commentaries to engage in more than “a nod” to larger issues. Besides I did what I was originally asked to do, before the editor forgot what he had originally asked me to do. In any event, I didn’t have more time to spend on this essay. So I withdrew the submission. Thanks to the publishing power of the internet, ...

Authors have disagreed on whether sports spectating has positive or negative consequences for individuals and society. Based on Smith's 1988 discussion of "the noble sports fan," the current research tested the prediction that identification with a sports team would be positively related to collective or group's self-esteem and not related to trait scores of aggression. The hypothesis was confi...

This study investigated views held about mathematics education by parents of a small inner-city primary school. Similarities in responses indicated consistency of ideas. Respondents demonstrated a broad understanding of mathematics and disagreed with a number of stereotypical statements about mathematics and mathematics education. They were keen to increase their knowledge and understanding of ...

A panel discussion on controversies in breast cancer screening held recently at the NCCN 21st Annual Conference included only a few controversies. Representatives of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, American Cancer Society, and NCCN disagreed primarily on 2 main areas: when to start screening (ages 40, 45, or 50 years) and frequency of screening (annual vs biennial). Panelists from thes...

Kanner opens his pioneering 1943 paper on autism by making a mysterious mention of the year 1938. Recent letters to the editor of this journal have disagreed over a particular interpretation-does 1938 refer to an early paper by Asperger, effectively meaning Kanner plagiarised Asperger? I argue 1938 refers to a paper by Louise Despert. This was not plagiarism but a case of building on Despert's ...

False nearest neighbors (FNN) method is examinated with respect to equivariance of individual observables. The aim is to reveal the most appropriate observable for phase space reconstruction. Results calculated for benchmark systems are compared with symbolic observability degrees. The FNN method resulted in different values of embedding dimensions when calculated for various observables of the...
