Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The axial skeleton serves as the primary structural support in all vertebrates and is subdivided into five distinct regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. Relaxation of constraints acting on the terminal end of the axial skeleton has led to remarkable variation in caudal vertebrae number across Squamata.

Blind Equalizers

IRE Transactions on Communications Systems, 1984
Summary: Blind equalizers do not require any known training sequence for the startup period, but can rather perform at any time the equalization directly on the data stream. In this paper, a general approach is presented for designing efficient blind equalizers for one and two independent carrier transmission systems; a special algorithm is given for ...

Abstract Discussions of the liberty of the ancients, in contemporary political theory, treat democratic freedom, and the political equality on which democracy was premised, as anathema to the liberty of the moderns. This article discusses ancient democratic liberty by referencing the theory of arithmetic equality preserved by Aristotle and Plato and ...

=, Equal or Equals?

The Arithmetic Teacher, 1955
Some Time Ago a group of our students were planning an arithmetic television program. They raised the question whether 3+2=5 should be read “Three plus two equals five” or “Three plus two equal five.” Also, they asked, “Does it make any difference if we speak about concrete objects?” For example, should we say, “Three bears plus two bears equals five ...

Equality of Opportunity and Equality of Results

Harvard Educational Review, 1973
This [Inequality: A Reassessment of the Effect of Family and Schooling in America] could have been an important book. Jencks and his colleagues have had the audacity to assemble and reanalyse a wide range of research on inequality, and have demonstrated a high level of technical skill in doing so. But the book misses the opportunity.

Equality and Equal Opportunity for Welfare

Philosophical Studies, 1989
This chapter argues that the idea of equal opportunity for welfare is the best interpretation of the ideal of distributive equality. It considers a distributive agency that has at its disposal a stock of goods that individuals want to own and use. The problem to be considered is: How to divide the goods in order to meet an appropriate standard of ...

How Equal is Equal?

Australian Journal of Social Issues, 1973
Some areas of educational inequality in the Australian school setting are explored. Crucial to the examination are two alternative definitions of ‘equality’. The educational implications of acceptance of one of these definitions rather than the other are explicated in relation to educational policy‐making and educational practice.

Equal Pay for Equal Work

AORN Journal, 1967
WHAT IS JOB EVALUATION? Job evaluation is not a scientific tool, rather it is a systematic and orderly way of gathering factual information about jobs and classifying these jobs to determine equitable salaries. Actually, we classify many things to simplify everyday activities.

When is equal not equal?

Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2010
The meta-analysis of the Emerging Risk Factor Collaboration demonstrated that the hazard ratios (HR) of the major cholesterol markers and the major apolipoproteins for vascular disease did not differ significantly in the studies they examined. Their conclusion was that they were functionally interchangeable.

Equality Algebras

Studia Logica, 2010
The author introduces equality algebras. They have two connectives, a meet operation and an equivalence, and a constant. He shows that equivalential equality algebras are term-equivalent with BCK-algebras with meet. As a by-product, he obtains a quite general result, which is analogous to a result of Kabziński and Wroński.
