However, the experimental basis for seventeenth-century atomism remained extremely weak and none of the various versions of it can be said to have productively informed experiment or to have been confirmed by it, a claim that has been documented by Meinel (1988) in his survey of the experimental basis for atomism in the seventeenth century and is argued in detail in Chalmers (2009).
For example, using a genetically informed experiment in which parents are assigned to different conditions and either instructed to use praise or small tangible rewards to condition a specific behavior or to use their usual approach (i.e., micro trial, Howe et al. 2010).
As the enquiry into excess mortality at the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust in England critically shows the consequences of poorly informed experiments to improve the efficiency of the nursing workforce can be disastrous.
It argues with particular strength that governments ought to stop trying to control and predict what they can't and start concentrating instead on enhancing the process by which markets make important decisions, or, in the terms of Mr. Ormerod's informing experiment, how ants choose to go to one food source or the other.
This information will inform experiments designed to understand the molecular basis of receptor assembly and function.
We study this transition in detail theoretically by variation of activities of PTEN, PI3K, AKT enzymes, and use the results to inform experiments that perturb the signaling network using combinatorial inhibition of RTK, PTEN, and PI3K enzymes in human ovarian carcinoma cell lines.
Knowledge of influenza virus RNA structure can inform experiments to reveal function, enrich understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the viral life cycle, and facilitate development of new therapeutics.
We anticipate that the predictions contained in the database will be useful in informing experiments and in helping to construct networks of regulatory relationships.
We anticipate that the predictions contained in the database should be useful in constructing networks of regulatory relationships, informing experiments and perhaps in helping to predict downstream effects of drugs on their targets.
This informed an experiment in message design that showed preferences for: i) obtaining individual gains from acting pro-sustainability (the importance of self-benefit), ii) doing what others are doing (the appeal of conforming to the descriptive norm), and iii) doing what others think one should do (the appeal of conforming to the injunctive norm).
Brecht's fascination with cabaret – he started his own in 1922 – directly informed his experiments with the alienation effect and epic theatre, his use of short-form sketches and direct address to the audience, and his casting of veteran cabaret acts such as Lenya.
