Beyond lumping and splitting
Unlike synchronic linguists, who can ask their consultants for additional data and examples, historical linguists are, for the most part, stuck with the data we have. Only rarely are we able to add to the corpus of available texts, or find additional examples of a rare combination of phonemes. The problems of historical linguistics are thus inherently probabilistic: we must constantly decide wh...
متن کاملMUC5B promoter polymorphism and interstitial lung abnormalities.
BACKGROUND A common promoter polymorphism (rs35705950) in MUC5B, the gene encoding mucin 5B, is associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It is not known whether this polymorphism is associated with interstitial lung disease in the general population. METHODS We performed a blinded assessment of interstitial lung abnormalities detected in 2633 participants in the Framingham Heart Study b...
متن کاملLung volumes and emphysema in smokers with interstitial lung abnormalities.
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking is associated with emphysema and radiographic interstitial lung abnormalities. The degree to which interstitial lung abnormalities are associated with reduced total lung capacity and the extent of emphysema is not known. METHODS We looked for interstitial lung abnormalities in 2416 (96%) of 2508 high-resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) scans of the lung obtaine...
متن کاملThe "lumping" and "splitting" of function and brain.
As an undergraduate contemplating a career in science, I was intrigued by the professional view expressed by an instructor of anthropology. His world, he said, is composed of ‘‘lumpers’’ and ‘‘splitters.’’ Lumpers hold every species to have a wide range of variation. Splitters, on the other hand, hold every variation to be a new species. This same juxtaposition of those who do not differentiate...
متن کاملSubclinical interstitial lung damage in workers exposed to indium compounds
OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to determine whether there is a relationship between indium compound exposure and interstitial lung damage in workers employed at indium tin oxide manufacturing and reclaiming factories in Korea. METHODS In 2012, we conducted a study for the prevention of indium induced lung damage in Korea and identified 78 workers who had serum indium or Krebs von d...
