Der Hund, der Eier legt
Mit bissigem Humor berichten zwei Insider über Naivität und Dummheit in der modernen Wissenschaft und über deren Konsequenzen für unseren Alltag. Sie stellen ausführlich dar, wie mit der Wahrheit gelogen wird, wie Irrtümer entstehen und wie sie sich bisweilen trotz klarer Widerlegungen zu anerkannten Schulweisheiten auswachsen. «Die Forschung ist gegenwärtig eher darauf angelegt, Quantität zu produzieren», schreiben die Autoren. «Qualität in Form von soliden Ergebnissen ist nicht gefragt. Eine unüberschaubare Flut von Desinformation begräbt die tatsächlich neuen Erkenntnisse unter sich und behindert den wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt. Wir wollen dazu beitragen, dass dies nicht so bleibt.»
Mit an Wahrscheinlichkeit grenzender Sicherheit
Für sicher Erachtetes stellt sich bisweilen als höchst unwahrscheinlich heraus. Einige als äußerst selten eingeschätzte Ereignisse sehen bei näherer Betrachtung eher alltäglich aus. Die Autoren berichten von Vertracktem und Unerwartetem aus medizinischer Forschung, Rechtsprechung und dem ganz normalen Leben. Vaterschaftstests, Terrorverbindungen, DNA-Fingerprints, Wahlergebnisse, Morde, Steuererklärungen, Diagnosen und Feierabendstaus werden unterhaltsam quer durchdacht.
Current Topics in Clinical Radiobiology of Tumors
The impact of basic science radiobiological research is now being recognized of significant importance in clinical radiation oncology. Observations made in the laboratory using animals as'well as tissue culture have led to a better biologic understanding of techniques for altered fractionation, techniques for measuring tumor cell proliferation, the possi bilities and limitations of methods for evaluation of nonrandomized clinical studies in deriving time dose relationships for human tumors as well as a better understanding of repair kinetics in mammalian cells, fractionation sensitivity and the major impact oftechnologies to improve local/regional control with the subsequent impact on survival. These findings have led to changes in treatment schedules and have led to further close cooperation among the radiation oncologists and radiation biologists. Well support research efforts in radiation biology have a major and significant impact on the clinical care of the cancer patient. Studies that originated in the laboratory are now finding their way into clinical practice resulting in better local and regional control and improved number of patients surviving without disease.

High-Dimensional Data Analysis in Cancer Research
Multivariate analysis is a mainstay of statistical tools in the analysis of biomedical data. It concerns with associating data matrices of n rows by p columns, with rows representing samples (or patients) and columns attributes of samples, to some response variables, e.g., patients outcome. Classically, the sample size n is much larger than p, the number of variables. The properties of statistical models have been mostly discussed under the assumption of fixed p and infinite n. The advance of biological sciences and technologies has revolutionized the process of investigations of cancer. The biomedical data collection has become more automatic and more extensive. We are in the era of p as a ...
Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies
Once treated as the absence of knowledge, ignorance today has become a highly influential topic in its own right, commanding growing attention across the natural and social sciences where a wide range of scholars have begun to explore the social life and political issues involved in the distribution and strategic use of not knowing. The field is growing fast and this handbook reflects this interdisciplinary field of study by drawing contributions from economics, sociology, history, philosophy, cultural studies, anthropology, feminist studies, and related fields in order to serve as a seminal guide to the political, legal and social uses of ignorance in social and political life.

Making Literature Reviews Work: A Multidisciplinary Guide to Systematic Approaches
This textbook guides the reader on how to undertake high-quality literature reviews, from traditional narrative to protocol-driven reviews. The guidance covers a broad range of purposes, disciplines and research paradigms. Whether the literature review is part of a research project, doctoral study, dissertation or a stand-alone study, the book offers approaches, methods, tools, tips and guidelines to produce more effective literature reviews in an efficient manner. The numerous examples are drawn from an array of subject areas, such as economics, healthcare, education, medicine, psychology, software engineering amongst others. This makes it worthwhile for a wide range of studies and for revi...
