Back to Basics: Belief Revision Through Direct Selection

Getting Back to Basics

Advances in understanding basic developmental and physiological processes often have direct relevance to human disease. They provide insights into pathogenic mechanisms and reveal new pathways that can be exploited in diagnosis and the development of therapeutics.

Back to basics for Bayesian model building in genomic selection.

Numerous Bayesian methods of phenotype prediction and genomic breeding value estimation based on multilocus association models have been proposed. Computationally the methods have been based either on Markov chain Monte Carlo or on faster maximum a posteriori estimation. The demand for more accurate and more efficient estimation has led to the rapid emergence of workable methods, unfortunately ...

Quintessence: back to basics

Quintessence is often invoked to explain the universe acceleration suggested by the type Ia supernovae observations. The aim of this letter is to demonstrate that the scalar potential necessary for quintessence is strongly constrained by the field and conservation equations. As an application, we show that all the potentials used up to now in the literature do not satisfy this constraint and so...

Extreme Programming - Back to Basics?

Zusammenfassung: Die Suche nach einer optimalen Vorgehensweise bei der Softwareentwicklung bringt öfter neue Vorschläge für Vorgehensmodelle hervor. Extreme Programming ist eine radikale, aus der Praxis motivierte Variante, die versucht „best practices“ der Software-Entwicklung in möglichst schlanker Weise zu kombinieren und soweit wie möglich auf organisatorischen Ballast zu verzichten. Aufgru...
