The growing body of literature that seeks to understand the social impacts of flooding has failed to recognise the value of children's knowledge. Working with a group of flood-affected children in Hull using a storyboard methodology this paper argues that the children have specific flood experiences that need to be understood in their own right. In this paper we consider the ways in which the d...

Coregulators: from whence came these "master genes".

It is now over a decade since the first nuclear receptor coactivator, SRC-1, was cloned and discovered to be a new type of transcription factor that does not bind DNA, but rather, binds directly or indirectly to nuclear receptors (NRs) to mediate their transcriptional potency. The NR coactivators belong to a class of molecules now termed ‘coregulators’. Employing an ‘operational’ definition, we...

Nagoya Termination Tool

This paper describes the implementation and techniques of the Nagoya Termination Tool, a termination prover for term rewrite systems. The main features of the tool are: the first implementation of the weighted path order which subsumes most of the existing reduction pairs, and the efficiency due to the strong cooperation with external SMT solvers. We present some new ideas that contribute to th...

Inbreeding depression and IQ in a study of 72 countries

Article history: Received 15 June 2008 Received in revised form 30 October 2008 Accepted 30 October 2008 Available online 5 December 2008 In this ecological study, a robust negative correlation of r=− .62 (Pb.01) is reported between national IQs and consanguinity as measured by the log10 transformed percentage of consanguineous marriages for 72 countries. This correlation is reduced in magnitud...
