A number of epidemiologic studies have shown a correlation between white blood cell (WBC) counts and ischaemic events.

Thomas et al. (2005) conclude their interesting review of parasitic manipulation in an optimistic tone and state that “the study of manipulation is far from being weak”. This serves as a timely antidote to Poulin’s sobering message of a Kuhnian type weakening paradigm (Poulin, 2000). This is not to say that the authors find fault with Poulin’s analyses, but rather they find reasons for optimism...

Today we have two scientific medical traditions, two schools or treatment systems: holistic medicine and biomedicine. The two traditions are based on two very different philosophical positions: subjectivistic and objectivistic. The philosopher Buber taught us that you can say I-Thou or I-It, holding the other person as a subject or an object. These two fundamentally different attitudes seem to ...

This paper presents a study of intertemporal propagation of distributional properties of phenotypes in general polygenic multi-gender inheritance models with sexand time-dependent heritability. It further analyzes the implications of these models under thick-tailedness of traits’ initial distributions. Our results suggest the optimality of a flexible one-sex/two-sex mating system. The switching...

n the late summer of 1997, we sat in a pub in Toronto, Canada, and began planning an ambitious project: to create a new entertainment medium. The idea was to mount a live performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and " broadcast " it over the Internet. The sets, props, and all the characters were to be modeled using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) 2.0. A group of actor...

This paper presents a study of the intertemporal propagation of distributional properties of phenotypes in general polygenic multisex inheritance models with sexand timedependent heritabilities. It further analyzes the implications of these models under heavy-tailedness of traits’ initial distributions. Our results suggest the optimality of a flexible asexual/binarymating system. Switching betw...

This contribution presents the background, design and results of a study of users of three oral corpus platforms in Germany. Roughly 5.000 registered users of the Database for Spoken German (DGD), the GeWiss corpus and the corpora of the Hamburg Centre for Language Corpora (HZSK) were asked to participate in a user survey. This quantitative approach was complemented by qualitative interviews wi...
