Do cats make sense? Cat Sense John Bradshaw (Basic Books, New York, NY; 2013) ISBN: 0465031013
For far too long, the behaviour of our pets has been seen (at best) as unconstrained by comprehensible evolutionary processes, or (at worst) entirely constructed by anthropomorphism. John Bradshaw’s Cat Sense is a welcome attempt to challenge this status quo by demonstrating that science can help us understand why domestic cats do what they do, and how they inveigled their way into our homes. C...
متن کاملHow do we make sense of the results?
In this lecture we shall look at the statistical principals involved in the presentation of the results of research studies. We shall illustrate this with a look at how people presented results in a leading health research journal: The British Medical Journal, or BMJ. The BMJ is published both on paper and on-line, but it now uses the on-line journal as the key publication. For this lecture, we...
متن کاملComplexity and Complexity Theories: Do These Concepts Make Sense?
In light of the recently published book Complexity 5 Questions, edited by Carlos Gershenson, I discuss some of the Complexity theories (includingmy own field “Synergetics”)with respect to their applicability to cities. This book,with contributions by 24 leading scientists, shows that there is no general consensus on “Complexity”. Nevertheless, I believe that there is some common ground for an a...
متن کاملSpike times make sense.
Many behavioral responses are completed too quickly for the underlying sensory processes to rely on estimation of neural firing rates over extended time windows. Theoretically, first-spike times could underlie such rapid responses, but direct evidence has been lacking. Such evidence has now been uncovered in the human somatosensory system. We discuss these findings and their potential generaliz...
متن کاملEvents Can Make Sense
Tame is a new event-based system for managing concurrency in network applications. Code written with Tame abstractions does not suffer from the “stackripping” problem associated with other event libraries. Like threaded code, tamed code uses standard control flow, automatically-managed local variables, and modular interfaces between callers and callees. Tame’s implementation consists of C++ lib...
