BIOLOGICAL TAXONOMY AND ONTOLOGY DEVELOPMENT: SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

Biological Taxonomy and Ontology Development: Scope and Limitations

 The prospects of integrating full-blown biological taxonomies into an ontological reasoning framework are reviewed. Traditionally ontological representations of taxonomy have adopted the model of a single and static hierarchy. This model is contrasted with a more realistic situation involving dynamic revisions of particular groups and alignments among alternative taxonomic perspectives. Taxon...

Legal Positivism : Its Scope and Limitations

Fruit Tree Models: Scope and Limitations

Models are used extensively in research, in the social sciences [e.g. economics] as well as in the physical, chemical and biological sciences. As a preliminary definition one could think of a model as an attempt to describe a certain process or system through the use of a simplified representation, preferably a quantitative mathematical expression, that focuses on a relatively few key variables...

Amine-Directed Hydroboration: Scope and Limitations

Iodine activation induces intramolecular hydroboration of homoallylic and bis-homoallylic amine boranes with good to excellent control of regiochemistry compared to control experiments using excess THF*BH 3. Deuterium labeling and other evidence confirm that the iodine-induced hydroboration reaction of homoallylic amine boranes occurs via an intramolecular mechanism equivalent to the classical ...
