The 'language acquisition device' has served as an exemplar for research on whether other psychological and behavioral traits are innate.
We undertake this using an exemplar recent research example: maternal prenatal smoking, linked to methylation change at the aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor (AHRR) gene at birth, now shown to mediate some of the effects of maternal smoking on birth weight.
For quantitative traits, height is an exemplar for research using polygenic composites (Lango Allen et al., 2010; Visscher, 2008; Visscher et al., 2010; Yang et al., 2010).
Biomedicine has often been invoked as the exemplar of strategic research, that is, of fundamental science consciously organized to contribute in the long run to the solution of practical problems.
Nonetheless we believe that the topics discussed describe important exemplars of translational research and achievements with regard to CKD prevention and public health.
Vice-Chancellor of Newcastle University, Prof Chris Brink added: "Over the next four years, we hope to see Science Central grow to become an exemplar of urban sustainability research, bringing together academia, organisations, industry, democracy and communities to develop solutions that will make a difference to people's lives across the globe".
To gain an in-depth understanding of the influence of contextual factors on evidence use by provincial/territorial prenatal record review committees, this study will focus on two specific exemplars: the uptake of research evidence related to maternal smoking, and alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
Using circadian rhythm research as an exemplar, this paper explores the variety of roles computational modeling is playing.
In this way, this research sets an exemplar of a design process for positive communicative systems while building on research in positive psychology, human computer interaction and cognitive ergonomics.
He has won many awards for his scientific research including the Exemplar Award from the Animal Behavior Society and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
