Wilkins Abstract The findings in this study reveal common, contradictory and idiosyncratic aspects that have important cultural and scientific/economic effects across organizational types. Common attributes include the observation of universal “top-down” organizational hierarchies with networks of labor being accumulated through elite scientists. Generally, informants perceived little to no effect from the national economy on their particular institute’s funding of science. Scientists spent an extraordinary amount of time at work and conducted highly specialized work tasks. The publishing activity concentrated among elite scientists while utilization of foreign scientists and contingent workers were segregated. Also, the use of tacit knowledge as a principal training tool was universally observed across institutes.

The point is that mercury evaporates more >quickly than most people realize, and that toxic concentrations can easily >form in enclosed spaces. Rubbish. Let's separate the rational from the chemophobia. Fact: Exposure to mercury vapor, even fairly high levels, will NOT kill you. It will give you the worst case of the squirts imaginable. I know from experience after a mercury still in my lab sprung a leak and gassed me. This released the vapor from on the order of several POUNDS of mercury into a relatively small room. Fact: Detectable does not indicate harmful. Fact: Detectable in the body does not indicate risk. It is an unfortunate byproduct of state of the art instrumentation capable of counting atoms, that the invention of common sense wasn't a parallel invention. It is unfortunate that the EPA has fed this chemophobia. They've snatched the nuclear protection concept of ALARA (as low as reasonable achievable), folded, spindled, and mutillated it and set "risk thresholds" based more on what can be detected than what is hazardous. Fact: Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you gotta fear it. The anti-nuclear hysteria of the last few decades has taught people to fear the invisible boogeyman. This is simply another manifestation of that. >>Mercury is dangerous, period. Whether you breath it, swallow it, or touch it >>with UNBROKEN SKIN.... it can invade your body. Gad, from this, one could conclude that mercury has a life of its own. Wow. A living element. >OK, well, I wish someone would straighten me out on this. I have been >told that the health risk from a broken thermometer in the mouth is the >broken glass, not the mercury. This is absolutely correct. elemental mercury has almost zero bio- availability. It is NOT attacked by stomach acids. It passes right on out with the rest of your waste. >Absorption through the skin is a health risk, but not an immediate and >grave one if all you want to do is roll some around in your palm every >year or two. (I prefer gallium, but you need very warm hands to melt >it.) No. You cannot absorb pure mercury through the skin. Period. You MIGHT be able to absorb mercuric compounds possibly present in contaminated mercury IFF you had an open sore on your hand. >Vapor is evidently a grave risk. >Mercury-containing compounds that are in the least water- or acid- >soluble are extremely grave health risks, e.g. mercuric chloride. Jesus, don't you have any concept of proportionality risk? A bullet flying toward your head is a grave health risk. A cloud of cyanide gas is a grave health risk. Mecuric chloride is NOT a grave risk unless you decide to eat it. This sounds like the silliness found in MSDS databases that list, for example, "sea sand, washed" as a hazardous material. >Recovery from mercury poisoning is evidently possible, Apparently so, or else my ghost is typing this message. >given that >(for example) Isaac Newton did after a year or so in the sanitarium. Yep, he suffered MASSIVE contamination of the stuff, as did the "mad hatters" who used mercuric chloride in felt making. The difference between having one's hands immersed in a strong solution of mercuric chloride and having a few PPM of mercury vapor in the air is many orders of magnitude in risk. Apparently this fact is lost on a lot of people. >Has anyone got a definitive and not overly conservative (i.e., not >an MSDS) reference on hand to confirm/refute the above? Unfortunately rational information is hard to come by. A good indication of rational can be obtained from chemical hygene or chemistry texts written before the onslaught of chemophobia and safety-at-any-cost. >>The contaminant is methyl mercury (dunno the exact formula.

50. John Wilkins - An Essay Toward A Real Character And A Philosophical Language Evolving Thoughtsjohn wilkins continuing struggle to come to terms with impermanence. Let me close by saying just a few words about john wilkins. http://reliant.teknowledge.com/Wilkins/

An Essay Toward a Real Character and a Philosophical Language by Bishop John Wilkins This web site contains the full text and original page images of a remarkable book written by Bishop John Wilkins in the 1600's. It contains a large ontology, a written and spoken language derived from the ontology, and a dictionary that maps terms in the ontology to English. Examples that relate hundreds of other human languages to the ontology are included. While many areas of the ontology are only of historical interest, there are numerous insights into issues of ontology and knowledge representation that should be of interest to the modern reader. The scope and scholarship of the work are impressive. The HTML version of the book has not been checked for errors of transcription and we would welcome corrections See side-by-side Images and HTML from the book.

The advantages of theft over toil: the design inference and arguing from ignorance John S. Wilkins , Wesley R. Elsberry Unedited version. Published as: Wilkins, John S, and Wesley R Elsberry. 2001. The advantages of theft over toil: the design inference and arguing from ignorance. Biology and Philosophy 16 (November):711-724. Abstract Intelligent design theorist William Dembski has proposed an "explanatory filter" for distinguishing between events due to chance, lawful regularity or design. We show that if Dembski's filter were adopted as a scientific heuristic, some classical developments in science would not be rational, and that Dembski's assertion that the filter reliably identifies rarefied design requires ignoring the state of background knowledge. If background information changes even slightly, the filter's conclusion will vary wildly. Dembski fails to overcome Hume's objections to arguments from design. Keywords Intelligent design, Bayesian inference, natural selection, Darwin, Dembski Sam Spade enters his office to find "Fingers" Finagle, a reformed safecracker, standing in front of his open safe holding the priceless artifact the Cretan Sparrow that Spade was looking after for a client. "Fingers" insists he did not crack the safe, but merely spun the combination dial a few times idly, and it opened by itself. Spade knows from the promotional literature that came with the safe when he bought it at the Chump end-of-season sale that is has over 10 billion (1010) possible combinations, and that only one of these will open it. Moreover, he knows that the dial must be turned in alternating directions, not - as "Fingers" claims he did - in the same direction repeatedly. What does Spade know about this situation? Is the safe open by design, or by accident? William Dembski (1998) thinks he can answer this question definitively.

[WILKINS, John] Mathematicall magick. Or, The wonders that may be performed by mechanicall geometry. London M.F. for S. Gellibrand 1648 8vo., [xiv], 295 pp., Title and text within double rules. With numerous text woodcuts and 8 engravings (mostly full-page). Contemporary calf, rebacked; fore-edges of leaves a bit brown, and with occasional soiling to the text. Contemporary notes bound into the front and back on small strips of heavy paper, early signatures of Charles Mackie dated 1682, another signature crossed out, and a James and Jacob Finlay and J. Powell in contemporary hand. First edition of the first book on mechanics in English. Wilkins describes a number of machines that make up his collection of mechanical inventions and devices. Among the most famous are the perpetual motion machines generated by means of magnets, flying machines, submarines, and clocks. Wilkins also includes a more general discussion of mechanics, treating the use of the wheel, screw, pulley, wedge, and lever. Wilkins (1614-72), 14th Bishop of Chester, was the warden at Wadham College, Oxford when this work was written. He was amongst a number of individuals who would get together at an Oxford laboratory during this time to discuss their interests in experimental philosophy and science. They were the nucleus of the future Royal Society: John Wallis, Jonathan Goddard, William Petty, Thomas Willis, Robert Boyle, Hooke, and many more. Wilkins was one of the founders of the Royal Society, and its first secretary.
