A Brief History of Research Synthesis
Science is supposed to be cumulative, but scientists only rarely cumulate evidence scientifically. This means that users of research evidence have to cope with a plethora of rep...

On the misuse of residuals in ecology: regression of residuals vs. multiple regression
1 Residuals from linear regressions are used frequently in statistical analysis, often for the purpose of controlling for unwanted effects in multivariable datasets. This paper ...
Dark matter constraints from observations of 25 Milky Way satellite galaxies with the Fermi Large Area Telescope
The dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies of the Milky Way are some of the most dark-matter-dominated objects known. Due to their proximity, high dark matter content, and lack of ...
Developmental Research, Public Policy, and the Ecology of Childhood
ence and social policy, the first axiom, at least among social scientists, is that social policy should be based on science. The proposition not only has logic on its side, but,...
Signatures of relativistic neutrinos in CMB anisotropy and matter clustering
We present a detailed analytical study of ultra-relativistic neutrinos in cosmological perturbation theory and of the observable signatures of inhomogeneities in the cosmic neut...
Defining the Sequence Specificity of DNA-Binding Proteins by Selecting Binding Sites from Random-Sequence Oligonucleotides: Analysis of Yeast GCN4 Protein
We describe a new method for accurately defining the sequence recognition properties of DNA-binding proteins by selecting high-affinity binding sites from random-sequence DNA. T...
The Importance of Proper Model Assumption in Bayesian Phylogenetics
We studied the importance of proper model assumption in the context of Bayesian phylogenetics by examining >5,000 Bayesian analyses and six nested models of nucleotide substitut...
Living and dying with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: multi-perspective longitudinal qualitative study
Our findings challenge current assumptions underpinning provision of end of life care for people with COPD. The policy focus on identifying a time point for transition to pallia...
Strcuture and transcription of the nopaline synthase gene region of T-DNA
We present the DNA sequence and plant-tumor transcription pattern of some 2400 base pairs from the right border region of pTi T37 DNA from the virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens...
New insights into the mechanisms of vitamin D action
Abstract The biologically active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1,25(OH) 2 D 3 ) is a secosteroid whose genomic mechanism of action is similar to that of ot...
Nopaline synthase: transcript mapping and DNA sequence.
The DNA sequence of the nopaline synthase gene (nos) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid pTiT37 and adjacent regions up to the right border of the T-DNA was determined. Th...
