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
Epistemology On birds, and ornithologists, and mutual respect 31 Jul 20124 Oct 2017 Some time back I had dinner with Pete Richerson, a well known ornithologist and biological theorist. He told me and the rest of the table an anecdote about hooded crows. It seems that in order to capture one to band, the ornithologists must sneak in the dead of night to… Read More
Evolution The World according to Genesis: Stuff that grows 1 Jun 200724 Nov 2022 We’re in the third day, and Elohim has made dry land, but no sun or stars or moon. Still, he’s keen to see something growing, so he tells the land to produce, by spontaneous generation as it was later known, “seed bearing plants and plants bearing fruit with their proper… Read More
General Science Classification and the periodic table 19 Dec 201227 Jan 2013 It might be thought that classification in the special and historical sciences is occasionally atheoretical, but that in the general sciences, physics and chemistry, it is derived from Theory. But in fact one of the most exemplary cases of empirical classification that led to Theory is in these sciences: the… 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
