BACKGROUND: Supertree methods comprise one approach to reconstructing large molecular phylogenies given multi-marker datasets: trees are estimated on each marker and then combined into a tree (the "supertree") on the entire set of taxa. Supertrees can be constructed using various algorithmic techniq

The progress of surgery has been utterly dependent on continuing innovations by surgeon innovators, largely because surgeons work in an environment that is very conducive to innovating. Of all clinicians surgeons excel at improvisations and innovations. The aim of this review is to outline some of m

When one of two same-amount liquid quantities was actually, or proposed to be, altered by a very tiny (smidgen) amount, kindergartners and 2nd graders failed to recognize the resulting inequality, whereas 3rd and 4th graders were increasingly successful. Alterations larger than a smidgen, but still
