BBQ Remains

BBQ in Tanimoto Scores

After the sequencing of the complete genomes of several higher organisms, molecular biologists face new challenges in understanding the regulatory mechanisms which control the expression of protein coding genes. The expression of a gene into a functional product is a fairly complex process consisting of several steps, with each step underlying some regulatory mechanism. The first major step in ...

The Krapina dental remains.

An analysis of age, specimen associations, demographic characteristics, and metric features is presented for the Krapina dental sample. A critical analysis of emergence criteria applicable to skeletal samples leads to an occlusal eruption schedule which can be used to determine wear rates. These are used to provide dental ages for the Krapina jaws and isolated teeth. A number of individual asso...

Identification of Skeletal Remains

Phosphorus remains exciting!

Today, the search for new element modifications is basically characterized by work under extreme conditions, in particular, high pressures and very often high temperatures. This situation is not surprising since the discovery of new elements and their characterization under normal conditions is more a topic of chemical-historical literature. Despite this, surprises are still found in the area o...

What remains of probability?

1. When I say “probability” I do not mean a Kolmogorovian ‘probability measure’ or similar mathematical notion. Of course, a definition—both coordinative1 and logical— plays a constitutive role in the very concept to be defined. Nevertheless, there seems no reason to include into the definition of probability that it “satisfies the Kolmogorovian axioms of probability theory”. For, once we know—...
