Intermediate concepts in science: a list 2 Feb 200818 Sep 2017 As well as the Basic Concepts list, I occasionally get sent some links that are in my mind too advanced to be basics, but too good not to mention. So I will do with them what I have done with the Basics. Send me some links… Recent additions Coturnix’s Biological Clock tutorials, 1-16, and a short history, from A blog around the clock Update to links Basics of radiometric dating Mathematics Fourier transforms for the practical person by parseval at A Candle in the Dark FT of some common functions by parseval at A Candle in the Dark Ain’t so convoluted by parseval at A Candle in the Dark Statistics Statistical Modelling: The Bits Pt. 1 by Bob O’Hara at Deep Thoughts and Silliness Statistical Modelling: The Bits Pt. 2 by Bob O’Hara at Deep Thoughts and Silliness Physics Free and Paid Convection by Arunn at Unruled Notebook Free Convection by Arunn at Unruled Notebook Free Convection and the Rayleigh Numberby Arunn at Unruled Notebook Basics of radiometric dating by thermochronic at Apparent Dip Biology ClockTutorial #1 – What Is Chronobiology by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #2: Basic Concepts and Terms by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #2a: Forty-Five Years of Pittendrigh’s Empirical Generalizations by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #3a – Clock Evolution by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #3b – Whence Clocks? by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #3c – Darwin On Time by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #4: On Methodology by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Genetics – A Short History by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #5: Circadian Organization by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #6: To Entrain Or Not To Entrain, That Is The Question by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #7: Circadian Organization in Mammals by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #8: Circadian Organization In Non-Mammalian Vertebrates by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #9: Circadian Organization In Japanese Quail by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #10: Entrainment by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #11: Phase-Shifting Effects Of Light by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #12: Constructing the Phase Response Curve by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #13: Using The Phase Response Curve by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #14: Interpreting The Phase Response Curve by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #15: Seasonality by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #16: Photoperiodism – Models and Experimental Approaches by Coturnix at A blog around the clock General Science
Education The commodification of learning 16 Dec 2008 The Bradley Report [Here] is proposing, among other things, that [Australian] students have vouchers to attend the university they want to, rather than making the university the funding recipient directly. Two things stand out to me. One is that this makes higher learning a marketable commodity, in which the desires… Read More
General Science Can an elephant paint? 30 Mar 2008 Watch the video under the fold, from Chang Mai in Thailand. There’s a moment where you realise what the elephant is representing, and a shock that comes when you see that it is representing something. I don’t know if it’s been trained to do this but it looks real to… Read More
General Science Journals object to index metrics 1 Oct 2008 In the light of the ongoing automation of impact factors, usually by somewhat opaque algorithms or procedures, a number of editors of various biomedical jounrals have asked to be taken off a new European reference index. I have taken the liberty of formatting the text below the fold in paragraphs…. Read More
Oh good, can I plug a couple of mine too? I might even get round to doing a Basics post on Bayesian statistics (yes, I know there’s one there, but I want to say something else). Bob
