中国人类学:自我批评,起而迎接挑战

中国的人类学家，不管是投师于国外或国内，至今为止，几乎不能使他们的发现对世界其他地区的人类学有用处。中国人类学的问题不是不够地方性，而是太地方性了。中国人类学当前所需要的是经过一个时期的本土化发展，然而再走出来，参与世界性对话。

Systems thinking in British Telecom Training: A brief account

This paper describes how British Telecom's Training Department has been using Systems Thinking over the last few years and has started introducing Systems concepts and methodologies to a wider audience of operational managers within. The paper explores some of the reasons for British Telecom to adopt Systems Thinking and describes the application of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) to a particular project within Training Department. The paper also describes the design and delivery of the Introduction to Systems Thinking course which is now part of British Telecom's core program of management training.     

Biomimetic synthesis of cannabispiran

Summary Total synthesis of cannabispiran (1) was accomplished by a biomimetic-type cyclization of the bibenzyl2, using K₃Fe(CN)₆ or MoOCl₄.Acknowledgment. Supported in part by the Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy, University of Mississippi.     

Familial association in serum IgE levels.

The serum IgE levels measured by RIST correlated closely with those obtained by the single radioimmunodiffusion method. Values for husband and wife were closely related as were those between father and daughter but in contrast to previous observations no significant relationship existed between IgE levels for mother and son.     

Fe(II)-induced decomposition of epidioxides. A chemical model for prostaglandin E,prostacyclin and thromboxane biosynthesis

Summary A chemical model for biosynthesis of PGE, PGX and the thromboxanes from the prostaglandin endoperoxides is presented which is based on known reactions of other endoperoxides with the Fe(II)–Fe(III) redox system in vitro.Supported in part by USPH grant CA-13121 through the National Cancer Institute.     

A note on diagrams for turning-point diagnostics

A new diagram for discriminating a forecasting technique's history with respect to the two types of turning-point errors, missed turns and false signals is presented. This diagram extends Theil's original prediction-realization (P-R) presentation so that each of the four quadrants and the axes locates a distinct type of forecasting error or correct forecast, thus reducing much of the former ambiguity. This improvement is accomplished without the loss of any information.
