Polymorphic microsatellite DNA parentage analysis was used to investigate the spatio-temporal variability of self-recruitment in populations of two anemonefishes: Amphiprion ocellaris and A. perideraion. Tissue samples of A. ocellaris (n = 364) and A. perideraion (n = 105) were collected from fringing reefs around two small islands (Barrang Lompo and Samalona) in Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesi...

The analysis of mixed quotation proposed in Cappelen & Lepore (1997a), purportedly as a development of Davidson’s accounts of direct and of indirect quotation, is critically examined. It is argued that the analysis fails to specify either necessary or sufficient conditions on mixed quotation, and that the way it has been defended by its proponents makes its alleged Davidsonian parentage questio...

DNA fingerprinting is a powerful test for parentage and paternity testing of cattle. The mechanism of genetic identification using DNA markers is outlined with a brief description of theory and methodology and examples provided to demonstrate how it works. Theoretical expectations of the test are discussed and results obtained to date presented.

A patient is described in whom Huntington's disease was diagnosed at the age of 34 years. No evidence of the disorder was found in either parent. Their parentage of the alleged mutant could not be excluded from a study of the inheritance of 25 genetic markers.

Preliminary results concerning non-quadratic (and non-bijective) transformations that exibit a degree of parentage with the well known Levi-Civita, Kustaanheimo-Stiefel, and Fock transformations are reported in this article. Some of the new transformations are applied to non-relativistic quantum dynamical systems in two dimensions.
