This art icle discusses three theories and approaches in the f ield of counselling that have the potent ial to advance understanding of counselling processes. One, developed within educat ional psychology and f irst published in 1983, is Gardner’s theory of mult iple intelligences (MI) (Gardner, 1983, 2006). Gardner argued against a one-dimensional view of intelligence, in favour of a pluralist...

Gardner syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the presence of colonic polyposis, osteomas and soft tissue tumors. We present a case of a man who was admitted for a relapse of adenocarcinoma of the rectum. CT-staging showed multiple locations of desmoid tumors and osteomas, with final diagnosis of Gardner syndrome. The follow-up CT, after surgery and chemotherapy, showed a r...

Mathematical model of the genetic sequential logic circuit Based on a previously defined model (Bintu et al. 2005), we employed a set of ordinary differential equations to describe the dynamic process of our genetic sequential logic circuit. The circuit’s variables, such as the concentrations of mRNAs and proteins, were plot as functions of time in response to external stimulus. In order to red...

This commentary challenges a recently published perception that Dr. Le Roy Upson Gardner had not actually discovered in 1942 that inhaled chrysotile fibers could induce malignant neoplasia in mice. The handwritten laboratory notes and some of Dr. Gardner's slides have recently been found. They verify that the tumors he saw in the mice included truly malignant neoplasms. Gardner had by then also...

There is no universally accepted de nition for intelligence among educators and psychologists. One (early) viewpoint regards intelligence as a unitary trait which can be measured by a single IQ test score (such as Binet & Simon, 1905; Terman, 1925). This view has now largely been replaced by the multiple-intelligence conceptions (such as Guilford, 1967; Renzulli, 1986; Gardner, 1983). We have c...

Neuroblastoma, a disease of early childhood, may be present at birth (Wells, 1940; Potter and Parrish, 1942; Bodian, 1959; Gross, Farber and Martin, 1959; King, Storaasli and Bolande, 1961; Dargeon, 1962; Voorhess and Gardner 1962a). Such cases are more likely to undergo remission than those occurring later in life (Bodian, 1959). Since Isaacs, Medalie and Politzer (1959) first noted an increas...

We consider the question: under what circumstances can the concept of adaptation be applied to groups, rather than individuals? Gardner and Grafen (2009, J. Evol. Biol.22: 659-671) develop a novel approach to this question, building on Grafen's 'formal Darwinism' project, which defines adaptation in terms of links between evolutionary dynamics and optimization. They conclude that only clonal gr...

Robby Gardner, one of the organizers of this Summer Research Institute, passed away on May 5, 19981. Robby led an extremely active mathematical life producing more than fifty papers, three books, eighteen masters students and thirteen Ph.D students. He seemed to spend a sizeable fraction of every year traveling to conferences and meetings around the world. I was continually amazed by the number...
