Nanog Heterogeneity: Tilting at Windmills?

Tilting at windmills: health reform and the 2004 US presidential election.

Review times in statistical journals: tilting at windmills?

Using limited data, I argue that the review times in statistics are far too long for the field to keep pace with the rapidly changing environment in science. I note that statisticians do not appear to believe in statistics because data on the review process are not widely available to members of the profession. I suggest a few changes that could be made to speed up the review process, although ...

Tilting at windmills and the evidence base on injecting drug use.

The art of medicine Tilting at windmills and the evidence base on injecting drug use After reading through many of the 500 or so papers on harm reduction in drug users listed in the PubMed database, it's hard not to conclude that researchers are really bad at understanding the evidence base. Paper after paper begins its introduction with a homily about the need for evidence-based policies. Pape...

Distinct Allelic Patterns of Nanog Expression Impart Embryonic Stem Cell Population Heterogeneity

Nanog is a principal pluripotency regulator exhibiting a disperse distribution within stem cell populations in vivo and in vitro. Increasing evidence points to a functional role of Nanog heterogeneity on stem cell fate decisions. Allelic control of Nanog gene expression was reported recently in mouse embryonic stem cells. To better understand how this mode of regulation influences the observed ...

Tilting at Windmills FULL PRESENTATION

Harnessing wind energy is one of the pressing challenges of our time. The scale, complexity, and robustness of wind power systems present compelling cyber-physical system design issues. In response to these emerging challenges, Purdue has initiated strategic partnerships for infrastructure development. Working with the US Department of Energy, Purdue is developing physical infrastructure for an...
