Reply: The myth of a myth
Tim Tully recently gave a fascinating account of his mission to Russia to find the names of Pavlov’s dogs [1]. Unfortunately, his essay perpetuates one of the most enduring myths in science: that Pavlov routinely used a bell in training salivary conditioning in dogs. Tully says: “For several repetitions, Pavlov would ring a bell just before giving food to a hungry dog. Before long, he noticed, ...
متن کاملA Further Note on Runs in Independent Sequences
Given a sequence of letters generated independently from a finite alphabet, we consider the case when more than one, but not all, letters are generated with the highest probability. The length of the longest run of any of these letters is shown to be one greater than the length of the longest run in a particular state of an associated Markov chain. Using results of Foulser and Karlin (19...

These endodontic implants are inserted through the previously prepared canals of the tooth into the osseous portion of the perio...

متن کاملHidden levels of phylodiversity in Antarctic green algae: further evidence for the existence of glacial refugia.
Recent data revealed that metazoans such as mites and springtails have persisted in Antarctica throughout several glacial-interglacial cycles, which contradicts the existing paradigm that terrestrial life was wiped out by successive glacial events and that the current inhabitants are recent colonizers. We used molecular phylogenetic techniques to study Antarctic microchlorophyte strains isolate...
