Systematics community

The family study approach, particularly when employed with systematic community-based samples, is one of the most powerful strategies to minimize heterogeneity, since etiologic factors for the development of a particular disorder can be assumed to be relatively homotypic within famihes. There is a dearth of studies that have employed within-family designs to examine either phenotypic expression or some of the putative biologic factors underlying the major anxiety disorders. For example,both Perna et al. (1996,1995) and Coryell... 

Develop Policies and Plans That Support Individual and Community Health Efforts. This service requires leadership development at all levels of public health systematic community- and state-level planning for health improvement in all jurisdictions development and tracking of measurable health objectives as a part of continuous quality improvement strategies joint evaluation with the medical system to define consistent policy regarding prevention and treatment services and development of codes, regulations, and legislation to guide the practice of public health. 

Operating policies are valuable assets to an organisation and, along with training, provide a means of systematically communicating human factor controls down to user level. 

Promoting an official platform for American expertise was one step toward stabilizing the situation. Schmitt s plans for the SSZ included committees to do precisely this. As an aside, this paralleled events in Britain, where the revival of the Association for the Study of Systematics in Relation to General Biology and its consolidation into the Systematics Association in 1946 can be understood as another effort to get the systematics community back on its feet (Anonymous, 1948). 

This and Simpson (1961) upstaged Blackwelder, who wanted to write a hook on general principles. He finally succeeded (Blackwelder, 1967). Mayr replied with a revision to his earlier text (Mayr, 1969). By this time, the systematics community was well and truly polarized into tribal groups and hoth men were being upstaged by... 

Over the years since Linnaeus developed his key classification methodology, the systematics community has arrived at a stable consensus relating species labels to characteristic features that have been described in the scientific literature for recognized flora and fauna. Recent advances in... 

But even more than this, there is a need to change the mindset of the systematics community, many of whose members currently see research into such systems as an idiosynaatic diversion from mainsheam systematics or as a threat to the employment prospects of future taxonomists. These are not credible issues. Systematics has suffered, and continues to suffer, from an image of being out of step with a postmodern world that expects such systems to be developed, as they have in many other fields. The ability of systematics and taxonomy to confront and successfully contribute to the resolution of many of the major biological and ecological questions of the twenty-first century would not only benefit from the existence of such systems, but also requires that they exist. The alternative of simply training more systematists to provide the required number of rapid, high-quality and consistent taxonomic identifications is not a realistic option either in principle or in practice. 

It should be emphasized at this point that the basic requirements of compatibility and consistency of finite elements used in the discretization of the domain in a field problem cannot be arbitrarily violated. Therefore, application of the previously described classes of computational grids requires systematic data transfomiation procedures across interfaces involving discontinuity or overlapping. For example, by the use of specially designed mortar elements necessary communication between incompatible sections of a finite element grid can be established (Maday et ah, 1989). 

Completely trivial names continue in use for good reasons, of which an important one is the need for a simple name for frequent communication concerning a commonly encountered compound or structure. For obscure compounds there is surely neither need nor desirability to perpetuate trivial names, and coining new trivial names is almost never justified. Let us, however, consider purine , the trivial name for what might more systematically be named imidazo[5,4-ring system is so important in biochemistry that exclusive use of one of the systematic names would be intolerable. If the name purine were not available, another short trivial name would inevitably be coined, or even an acronym ( IP or TAP ). It is better to retain the name sanctioned by roughly a century of use, and benefit from a link in comprehension with the past. 

The scientific community is appreciative of the JJZ vision for a systematic inorganic chemistry. Many of the contributions had been edited prior to his death therefore, his precise syntax will remain an important part of the series. 

There is no systematic approach to exploiting flexibility. Upper management tends to make decisions that are too fixed and does not communicate well the trade-offs that should be applied when the future is different from its central assumption. For example, those implementing decisions may receive a deadline for completion of a trial, rather than a target completion date with guidelines on the value of different completion dates to the business and how to respond accordingly. 

Humans should use computers to do functional work for them in the most efficient manner possible. However, we must not delude ourselves into thinking that the mere use of a computer to analyze adverse events will magically analyze these events in a systematic, efficient way. Computers do not automatically produce coherent, auditable results that can be subsequently reproduced with ease. Computers must be actively programmed through an iterative process involving tight communication between analysts and software developers until these processes are totally functional.

The fine concept embodied in the proposal of CFPs as supports of nanostructured metal phases, experienced in fact an almost total inattention in the academic Catalysis community until the mid-nineties, when a few research groups started a systematic exploration of the field [9-12].
