The large number of modern methods which have been published for the determination of total bile pigments in the blood plasma indicates the difficulties of the estimation and suggests the need for a reliable standard method. In view of the present importance of plasma bilirubin levels in the diagnosis and treatment of jaundiced subjects, six analytical procedures have been studied, each chosen ...

Citation: Senior C (2016) Innovation in education. Commentary: Teaching statistics using dance and movement and a case for neuroscience in mathematics education. Mathematical expertise is central to our understanding of science, drives innovation throughout all aspects of society and ultimately facilitates the economy of nations (OECD, 2010). There is little doubt as to its importance and as su...

This paper proposes a new approach to support creativity through assisting the discovery of unexpected associations across di↵erent domains. This is achieved by integrating information from heterogeneous domains into a single network, enabling the interactive discovery of links across the corresponding information resources. We discuss three di↵erent pattern of domain crossing associations in t...

Coupled ocean-atmosphere science steadily advances with increasing information obtained from long-records of in situ observations, multiple-year archives of remotely sensed satellite images, and long time series of numerical model outputs. However, the percentage of data actually used tends to be low, in part because of a lack of efficient and effective analysis tools. For instance, it is estim...

While the law and literature movement has treated a number of important texts, contexts, figures from both spheres, surprisingly absent is situation Leopold II’s Congo Free State person Edmond Picard. This article seeks to redress that absence, looking first at Picard as an figure who represents analyzing few texts directly related colonialism in Congo: specifically, his legal opinion Consultat...

Transformation of a response variable can greatly expand the class problems for which linear regression model or mixed-model is appropriate. Beginning with fundamental work Box and Cox, maximum-likelihood-like estimation has been applied to select transformation from among family transformations, possible goals achieving approximate normality, removing nonlinearity in mean function, stabilizing...

In everyday life, we mainly solve problems with a conscious solution search (non-insight). However, sometimes perplexing problem is resolved by quantum leap in understanding. This phenomenon known as the Aha! experience (insight). Although insight has distinct phenomenological and behavioral signature, its driving mechanism remains debated. Weisberg (2015) proposed an integrated theory of argui...
