'A well-arranged educational museum has been defined as a collection of instructive labels illustrated by well-selected specimens.' Self-evident truth or heinous heresy? From this platform of self-criticism, William H. Flower, newly appointed director of the Natural History Museum in London, set out before the British Association Congress at ...

In their report “Rapid extinction of the moas (Aves: Dinornithiformes): Model, test, and implications” (24 Mar., p. 2250), Holdaway and Jacomb contribute a useful zoological model for moa extinction, but they compare uncalibrated radiocarbon determinations [750 to 400 years before the present (

Subspace MOA: Subspace Stream Clustering Evaluation Using the MOA Framework
2013Most available static data are becoming more and more high-dimensional. Therefore, subspace clustering, which aims at finding clusters not only within the full dimension but also within subgroups of dimensions, has gained a significant importance. Recently, OpenSubspace framework was proposed to evaluate and explorate subspace clustering algorithms in ...

The prevailing view among archeologists is that the moas, large flightless birds indigenous to New Zealand, were gradually hunted to extinction after the arrival of the Maoris. However, as Diamond explains in a lively Perspective, new findings (Holdaway and Jacomb) suggest that the moas became extinct within 100 years of the arrival of the ...

The aim of this chapter is to reconstruct the concept of natural necessity upon which the empirical causal (Humean) type of scientific law rests. In my opinion, this effort will enable one to grasp the ontological dimension of the epistemological concept: “empirical causal (Humean) type of scientific law.” The “empirical causal type of scientific law ...
