Obtaining functional data is an essential component in understanding mechanisms underlying morphological variation. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a reverse genetic technique for identifying the function of target loci through viral mediated transcript knockdown. Here we introduce this...

Each individual chromatogram is typically very sparse, especially when coupled with a technique such as mass spectrometry. Only a small portion of the recorded data actually contains potentially useful information. Since the inclusion of irrelevant information will have detrimental effects upon...

The common theme of this work was to investigate the relationships between multi-dimensional experimental data and the physical and chemical properties of certain reacting systems that have industrial relevance. Three particular systems of increasing complexity in terms of composition of the...

Interesting real-world samples are almost always present as mixtures containing the analyte(s) of interest and a matrix of components that are irrelevant to answering the analytical question at hand. Additionally, the compounds comprising the matrix are usually present in far greater...

Purpose - This paper aims to respond to the 2005 paper by Hjorland and Nissen Pedersen by suggesting that an exhaustive and universal classification of the phenomena that scholars study, and the methods and theories they apply, is feasible. It seeks to argue that such a classification is critical...

Abstract: This paper draws upon the scholarship of interdisciplinarity to argue that Economics, like all disciplines, should be open to a wide range of theories and methods, and the study of all relevant phenomena. A classification of the different methods and theory types used by scholars...

Interdisciplinary communication, and thus the rate of progress in scholarly understanding, would be greatly enhanced if scholars had access to a universal classification of documents or ideas not grounded in particular disciplines or cultures. Such a classification is feasible if complex concepts...

Advancements in data acquisition technologies and the desire for rich data has led to an increase in the size of data collected from modern analytical instruments. With the aid of chemometric techniques, researchers are still able to glean more useful information from these kinds of data than...

Armstrong, Michael D S

Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography - Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS) is an advanced instrumental technique that separates complex mixtures along two chromatographic dimensions, followed by multivariate detection that collects mass spectral information at a high...

Accounting for the evolutionary origins of morphological novelty is one of the core challenges of contemporary evolutionary biology. A successful explanatory framework requires the integration of different biological disciplines, but the relationships between developmental biology and standard...
