COLLEGE SCIENCE TEACHING A lthough the majority of graduate students pursuing doctoral-level degrees in the sciences is eventually planning for a faculty career in academics (Henderson, Clarke, and Reynolds 1996; Henderson, Clarke, and Woods 1998; Sanderson and Dugoni 1999), they leave their doctoral programs with very little experience in the broad, multidisciplinary composition of most classr...

Recently it has been shown that face verification based on a unconstrained parts approach, comprised of local feature extraction and a mixture of Gaussians classifier, is considerably more robust than holistic approaches in terms of translations (which can be caused by automatic face localization) and pose variations. In this report we first investigate whether features based on Local Principal...

A fundamental property of all living organisms is related to the continuous gathering of environmental information and the expression of physiological responses aimed to optimize its performance under new environmental conditions. In order to keep homeostasis, plants need to continuously gather information about its environment and to react physiologically, in order to synchronize its normal bi...

OBJECTIVES To explore patients' perceptions and experiences of 'normality' and the influences on this at three time points post-transplant. METHODS In-depth interviews with 25 patients at three months, one year and more than three years following kidney transplant. Patients' accounts were compared with Sanderson et al.'s typology of types of normality. FINDINGS Post-transplant, patients wor...

Background/Aims: There is concern that raising awareness about the role of genetics in chronic disease etiology could undermine public belief that lifestyles are important, leading to adverse effects on public health. We tested the hypothesis that people who believe genetics influence chronic disease risk are less likely to believe lifestyles play a role. Methods: Open-ended questions about can...

In a recent study, Steel and Sanderson defined and characterized phylogenetically decisive sets of taxon sets. A set is called phylogenetically decisive if regardless of the trees chosen for each of its taxon sets, as long as these trees are compatible with one another, their supertree is always unique. This implies that the sampled taxon sets always lead to a unique supertree, regardless what ...

When considering the tree of life, the fact that some lineages are much more taxonomically rich than others suggests that rates of species diversification are highly variable. Explaining patterns of species diversity according to changes in diversification rate is limited by our power to reconstruct patterns of speciation and extinction through time, but this has not deterred speculation on the...

If the number of cases of a disease reported in the literature can be taken as an index of frequency, chronic thyrotoxic myopathy is a very rare disease. Its interest lies, however, not so much in its rarity as in the light it may throw on the inter-relationship of the endocrine glands and muscle function. In a previous paper (Sanderson and Adey, 1949) some aspects of this problem were reviewed...
