Misuses of biology in the context of the paranormal

Summary Public suspicion of science stems from science's challenging of perceptions and myths about reality, and a public fear of new technology. The result is a susceptibility to pseudoscience. In claiming that creation science is as valid as evolution the creationists misquote scientists and seek to spread their own scientific myths concerning a young age for the earth, an act of creation based on a particular literalist interpretation of the Christian Bible and a single worldwide flood. They use methods of debate and politics, rather than scientific research. A selection of their arguments is examined and the nature of the evidence for evolution is discussed. Problems with the creation science model are noted. In the myth of the hundredth monkey phenomenon, original research is misquoted to denigrate scientific research and support sentimental ideas of paranormal events. The misuse of science is seen as damaging to society because it reduces the effective gathering and application of scientific information. However, pseudoscience provides a valuable guide to gaps in public scientific education.     

长叶苦竹新造林的生长发育规律研究

【目的】为揭示长叶苦竹(Pleioblastus chino var.hisauchii)新造林的生长发育规律,探究不同年龄竹株的秆形特征及不同龄级竹地下茎的鞭根生长情况,为长叶苦竹及其他混生型竹的栽培养护和经营管理提供参考。【方法】调查了南京林业大学溧水白马实验基地长叶苦竹新造林5年时的年龄结构和空间分布,标记整片竹林每株竹子的位置和年龄信息,随机选取3株1～5年生健康无病虫害竹株,测定其地径、株高、枝下高、每节节长和对应的节径等指标。追踪1～5年生竹鞭系,统计鞭段数、鞭节数、岔鞭数、芽数,测量鞭长、鞭径、鞭节长等指标。【结果】随着长叶苦竹新造林的更新,前4年新龄竹株数呈递增趋势。地径、株高和枝下高随竹龄的增长均呈递减趋势,且不同年龄竹株的地径和株高、枝下高和株高均存在线性正相关关系。竹秆每节节径由基部到梢部呈递减趋势,且每节节长和对应的节径存在线性正相关关系。新龄竹每节节径、每节节长、平均节径和平均节长均大于老龄竹。鞭径、总鞭长、鞭段数和芽数随竹龄的增长呈递减趋势。鞭长、鞭节长、岔鞭数和笋芽数随竹龄的增长呈先增后减的趋势,在造林第4年时达到最高。【结论】长叶苦竹新造林的年龄结构呈上...

The Juancheng chondrite──A new meteorite falling recently in China

The Juancheng chondrite, a new meteorite falling recently in Juancheng County, Shandong Province, China, is classified as an H5 (S2) chondrite based on the compositions of olivine (Fa= 19.2, σ Fa=0.46) and low-Ca pyroxene (Fs=16.9, σ Fa=0.4). The plagioclase in the Juancheng chondrite is rich in CaO, indicating a relatively high metamorphic temperature the parent body underwent.
