Conditioning and Intervening
We consider the dispute between causal decision theorists and evidential decision theorists over Newcomb-like problems. We introduce a framework relating causation and directed graphs developed by Spirtes et al. (1993) and evaluate several arguments in this context. We argue that much of the debate between the two camps is misplaced; the disputes turn on the distinction between conditioning on ...
متن کاملRapid radical formation by DNA charge transport through sequences lacking intervening guanines.
Using the flash-quench technique to probe DNA charge transport in assemblies containing a tethered ruthenium intercalator, the kinetics and yield of methylindole radical formation as a function of DNA sequence were studied by laser spectroscopy and biochemical methods. In these assemblies, the methylindole moiety serves as an artificial base of low oxidation potential. Hole injection and subseq...
متن کاملDifferential viral induction of distinct interferon-alpha genes by positive feedback through interferon regulatory factor-7.
Interferon (IFN) genes are among the earliest transcriptional responses to virus infection of mammalian cells. Although the regulation of the IFNbeta gene has been well characterized, the induction of the large family of IFNalpha genes has remained obscure. We report that the IFNalpha genes can be divided into two groups: an immediate-early response gene (IFNalpha4) which is induced rapidly and...
متن کاملIntervening Sequences in Human Fetal Globin Genes
The large intervening sequences (IVSB) of three human fetal globin genes contain tracts of alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences approximately 40-60 base pairs in length which adopt left-handed Z DNA helices under the influence of negative supercoiling. The amount of negative supercoiling (-0.045) required for the rightto left-handed transitions is within the physiological range. The structur...
متن کاملIntervening in communities: challenges for public health.
involved, as the valuable role of historical analysis in the 2001 foot and mouth epidemic showed. Scally and Womack’s paper recalls the role of history teaching of public health professionals by Sidney Chave. They mention the history study unit we run at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Nevertheless history struggles to find a role in the increasingly crowded training curricu...
