Talk:Canalisation (genetics)

message: I created an illustration based on those in Norms of reaction to illustrate a canalising trait.  Perhaps someone better familiar with the concept of this article can let me know if this is a helpful presentation, or if the graph should perhaps be modified in some manner.  I did not make the two "plateaus" strictly horizontal, but allowed a minor variation within each of the bimodal forms... that seemed more realistic; but the variation within a morphological form is much less than the variation between the forms.
:I am not sure that the image is especially applicable to the canalization of a trait. Does phenotype A represent a non-canalized trait? Vokesk (talk) 22:57, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It is hard to draw a "canalized trait". Instead, a genotype has a trait that is canalized or robust to a specified perturbation relative to an alternative reference genotype. For different environmental changes (x-axis shifts), one can make different arguments about which is the more canalized of the genotypes in this figure. Even if the figure is kept, the legend needs improvement. Joannamasel (talk) 22:45, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Norm of reaction for bimodal morphology 

message: This article says that canalisation means, that a phenotype is robust against environmental changes because of its genotype. However, this article (Rando and Verstrepen, Timescales of genetic and epigenetic inheritance, Cell 128, 655-668, 2007) says this insensitivity of a phenotype to genetic mutation is often referred to as 'robustness' or 'canalization'. So whats the correct description? 212.45.53.58 12:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: i guess it is always case 2, which can be sometimes implied by case one. that is: the phenotype is always meant as a physical structure of the body caused/controlled (during developement) by genes, and sometimes environmental factors can affect those genes, resulting in a different phenotype. 80.99.38.199 (talk) 00:12, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

message: "Canalisation (canalization in American English) is a measure of the ability of a population to produce the same phenotype regardless of variability of its environment or genotype"  Was this Waddington's defintition or did Waddington coin the term but not this specific definition.  It would be nice to have Waddington's definition here, if there is one handy, as well as a more recent reference to how current researchers actually use the term.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eudoxus (talk • contribs) 06:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Sorry, I won't especially care about Mr. Cormon, just added a COM pic from Yorck project which seems pretty close to the "1868" claimed theme murder/jealousy/Serail.

message: I'd like to add that the phrase in the article, "not the quickest", is incorrect; as a resident of Hampton Roads, I can get between Yorktown and Williamsburg quite quickly on Colonial Parkway. However, what that entails may not be entirely legal. That said, Colonial Parkway is a great place to drive, even within the speed limits. I've been known to hike it several times as well.

Talk:Pisco sour

message: I'd suggest here that Latin America is a questionable cultural/geographic reference. This is very evident here. The matter belongs to Peru and Chile as I understand from the article. It has very little more to do with neighbour countries than with anywhere the drink became popular, this internationally famous drink. Even if it had, the names of the countries might be mentioned instead of this rather precarious generalization, e.g. Argentina and Uruguay. As an attempt to illustrate the point, it is more or less as if a beverage issue between Finland and Estonia might be called a debated topic of the Eurasian culture, including Japan and Portugal in the category. Besides that, Latin America still is a precarious geographic reference since South America is a very diversified continent, e.g. Japanese immigrants, German immigrants, Chinese immigrants, North American, sub-Saharan African and Middle Eastern (perhaps culturally also a generalization) immigrants and native Americans, i.e. Andean natives, Patagonian, Amazonian natives, Aztec, none have 'Latin' origins, whatever this may mean. Even people from Spain and Portugal are ultimately not Latin, since most of them have Germanic origin and were culturally colonized by the Roman Empire and that is why they speak modern vernacular Latin. They are originally Iberic, Celtic and Germanic mostly. Brazil and Argentina I'd say are especially not liable to be included in such concept, in their diverse European immigration based population. Or Andean countries either. I strongly understand that the term Latin America has no objective basis so as to be used in an encyclopedic article. I understand there is cultural interchange especially between Spanish speaking countries, roughly half the continent, but this is one specific layer of the matter, not the whole and it is mostly via modern mass culture, which would include the USA/Europe just as much as neighbours. Not what would justify a categorization. It sounds naively and mistakingly eurocentric. On top of all and corroborating the point, the drink is considered to be created either by an American or an English individual or both, this case proving a good example of the continent's cultural diversity and cosmopolitan nature.

message: How, exactly, does this book differ from the others she has written, and why did it create a split. Is there anyone who could shed some light on that? - Ross Taben
I can't say anythinng official, and I can't give anything that's verifiable.  I do know that when I read the book, it felt thrown together, and didn't give as much rich detail as previous Rice works.  I would certainly say that the "style" is different, but I'm not an English major, so I can't give you specific reasons.  As for the "split," at the time, I remember some fans who speculated that the book had actually been written by Rice's husband, Stan.  I think he died shortly after.

thread_title:  Bull**** article? 

message: Is there a source for the claim that Hilton is a "former chief of staff for Bob Dole?"  Googling for both men's names finds a variety of claimed connections between the two men, such as: "close colleague of Bob Dole," "a former U.S. Senate Attorney and aide to U.S. Senator Bob Dole," "a former Dole staff member," "former chief of staff for former Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole," "Bob Dole's former chief of staff," and "a former aide to Bob Dole."  (I also found a page calling him a "friend" of Bob Dole, but I've forgotten where that that was.)  The claim that he was Dole's chief of staff seems to come from 911 conspiracy nut sites and sites that used this Wikipedia article as their source.  None that I found resemble a reliable source.  The dubious sourcing, and the inconsistency of the various claims, leads me to wonder whether it is true. Does anyone know?  NCdave (talk) 20:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus

message: A line quoted about the Future Fair is given as "a fair for all and no fare to anybody", meaning free.
I'd always believed it was "...and no fair to anybody" - as in "not fair to anyone" rendered in childish style. This may sound a little clunky - but then so does the form "no fare to anybody": if it were referring to a charge, it would be "for anybody" (or from), surely?
The "no fair" form seems to me to be (more) in keeping with the Firesign mindset - a hint that the celebrations may not be as much fun as they sound.
Then again, I'll grant that describing the fair as free is more appropriate in a public announcement. Does anyone have an insight here?
A tiny point, I admit, and my apologies for bringing it up. The synopsis was so well written that this bit jarred with me. I have the CD, and I'll have a listen and see if I can find any clues. --Cdavis999 13:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. Just had a listen, and the line is followed by "Yes, it's free!", which pretty much nails down the 'Fare' aspect.

replies: text: Boy, you must have really hated Reagan to say such a mean thing. That's certainly WP:OR; even his political enemies never thought of him the same way as Nixon. That's Phil Austin voicing the electronic President, and he cultivated an impersonation of Nixon which he used on several successive Firesign albums which came out during Nixon's presidency:
* President Gazatchorn on David Ossman's How Time Flys
* President Nick Exxon (obvious name parody) on his own Roller Maidens From Outer Space
* The "former President" waving and weeping, riding his float into the hole to the center of the Earth on Everything You Know Is Wrong: turn the volume up and listen to the left channel; you'll hear his famous "You won't have me to kick around anymore" line, plus stealing Neil Armstrong's "small step, giant leap" quote.
