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
Evolution Random things 4 Jul 2007 Back from the drinking sessionconference, with many good thoughts. One in particular is due to the talk by Aiden Lyons at ANU on probability and evolution – after more than two decades trying to figure it out, I had to wait for a grad student to put it all neatly… Read More
Biology The difference between philosophy and biology 6 Jun 2010 Robert Paul Wolf continues his fascinating, and dare I say name-naming and body-locating, autobiobiographical memoirs of the academy and his place in it. In the latest episode he mentions Ed Wilson, the famous ant specialist, sociobiologist, and promoter of science. Brian Leiter cites the passage in which Wolf has a… Read More
Evolution Social dominance hierarchies 1 Jul 200922 Jun 2018 Given the dynamic nature of dominance hierarchies among animals, it would be very unlikely to get a well formed control hierarchy in nature. 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
