The physical nature of Psi phenomena such as telepathy is an important problem in the life information science. Scientists have confirmed the existence of telepathy phenomena through many strict experiments. Then can modern science (e.g. quantum theory) provide a scientific explanation for telepathy phenomena? In this paper, we will seek the possible quantum nature of telepathy from both theore...

Statement of Issue Documentation of the literature that supports the underlying scientific foundation for each forensic discipline is a critical component in determining if methods, technologies, interpretation guidelines and conclusions are supported by science. Features of “scientific literature” are delineated in the approved Views Document “Scientific Literature in Support of Forensic Scien...

Background After the education reform started in 2009 in Hong Kong, there were some major effects on the Higher Diploma Programs offered by the Applied Science Discipline, Institute of Vocational Education (IVE). First, the duration of the Higher Diploma Programs was shortened to two years. Second, the science knowledge background of DSE graduates became diversified owing to the change of the c...

As a defender of the fundamental importance of Mendel’s experiments for understand ing heredity, the English biolog ist William Bateson (1861–1926) did much to publicize the usefulness of Mendelian science for practical breeders. In the course of his campaigning, he not only secured a reputation among breeders as a scientific expert worth listening to but articulated a vision of the ideal relat...

This paper discusses the development of a prototype search assistant designed to aid cross-disciplinary searching of Earth science data. The goal of the project is to provide aids to help searchers overcome the vocabulary problem: the vocabulary used by the searchers is not the same as that used by the indexers. The work was motivated by vocabulary issues existing in the EOS Data Gateway (EDG)1...
