| methodist | 1. One who observes method. 2. One of an ancient school of physicians who rejected observation and founded their practice on reasoning and theory. 3. One of a sect of Christians, the outgrowth of a small association called the "Holy Club," formed at Oxford University, A.D. 1729, of which the most conspicuous members were John Wesley and his brother Charles; originally so called from the methodical strictness of members of the club in all religious duties. 4. A person of strict piety; one who lives in the exact observance of religious duties; sometimes so called in contempt or ridicule. Origin: Cf. F. Methodiste. See Method.

| hospitals, university | Hospitals maintained by a university for the teaching of medical students, postgraduate training programs, and clinical research. (12 Dec 1998) |
| university | Origin: OE. Universite, L. Universitas all together, the whole, the universe, a number of persons associated into one body, a society, corporation, fr. Universus all together, universal: cf. F. Universite. See Universe. 1. The universe; the whole. 2. An association, society, guild, or corporation, especially. One capable of having and acquiring property. "The universities, or corporate bodies, at Rome were very numerous. There were corporations of bakers, farmers of the revenue, scribes, and others." (Eng. Cyc) 3. An institution organised and incorporated for the purpose of imparting instruction, examining students, and otherwise promoting education in the higher branches of literature, science, art, etc, empowered to confer degrees in the several arts and faculties, as in theology, law, medicine, music, etc. A university may exist without having any college connected with it, or it may consist of but one college, or it may comprise an assemblage of colleges established in any place, with professors for instructing students in the sciences and other branches of learning. "The present universities of Europe were, originally, the greater part of them, ecclesiastical corporations, instituted for the education of churchmen . . . What was taught in the greater part of those universities was suitable to the end of their institutions, either theology or something that was merely preparatory to theology." (A. Smith) From the Roman words universitas, collegium, corpus, are derived the terms university, college, and corporation, of modern languages; and though these words have obtained modified significations in modern times, so as to indifferently applicable to the same things, they all agree in retaining the fundamental signification of the terms, whatever may have been added to them. There is now no university, college, or corporation, which is not a juristical person in the sense above explained [see def. 2, above]; wherever these words are applied to any association of persons not stamped with this mark, it is an abuse of terms.

| retracted publication | Designation of an article or book retracted in whole or in part by an author or authors or an authorised representative. It identifies a citation previously published and now retracted through a formal issuance from the author, publisher, or other authorised agent, and is distinguished from retraction of publication, which identifies the citation retracting the original published item. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retraction of publication | A statement issued by one or more authors of an article or a book, withdrawing or disavowing acknowledgment of their participation in performing research or writing the results of their study. In indexing, the retraction is sent to the editor of the publication in which the article appeared and is published under the rubric "retraction" or in the form of a letter. This publication type designates the author's statement of retraction: it should be differentiated from retracted publication which labels the retracted publication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| publication bias | The influence of study results on the chances of publication and the tendency of investigators, reviewers, and editors to submit or accept manuscripts for publication based on the direction or strength of the study findings. Publication bias has an impact on the interpretation of clinical trials and meta-analyses. Bias can be minimised by insistence by editors on high-quality research, thorough literature reviews, acknowledgement of conflicts of interest, modification of peer review practices, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| duplicate publication | Simultaneous or successive publishing of identical or near- identical material in two or more different sources without acknowledgment. It differs from reprinted publication in that a reprint cites sources. It differs from plagiarism in that duplicate publication is the product of the same authorship while plagiarism publishes a work or parts of a work of another as one's own. The designation given an article or book of identical or nearly identical material published simultaneously or successively with the material previously published elsewhere, without acknowledgment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| africa, southern | The geographical area of africa comprising angola, botswana, lesotho, malawi, mozambique, namibia, south africa, swaziland, zambia, and zimbabwe. It includes what was formerly called south-west africa or german southwest africa but it was terminated in 1966 by a united nations resolution. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blot, southern | A common test for checking for a match between DNA molecules. DNA fragments are separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, transferred (blotted) onto membrane filters, and hybridised with complementary radiolabelled probes. The aim is to detect specific base sequenceswith the probes. Lest all of this sound esoteric, note that in the television series The X Files a Southern blot was done (in this case, to learn if some alien virus genome had been integrated into a person's genome). The Southern blot is named after its inventor, the British biologist M.E. Southern. There is also a Northern blot and a Western blot. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blotting, southern | A method (first developed by e.m. Southern) for detection of DNA that has been electrophoretically separated and immobilised by blotting on nitrocellulose or other type of paper or nylon membrane. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Southern | M.E., 20th century British biologist. See: Southern blot analysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| southern blot | A technique used for searching for a specific DNA fragment. The process is as follows: 1. separate DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis 2. Change pH of gel to basic, thus allowing disruption of H-bonds 3. blot gel with nitrocellulose paper 4. Heat paper so as to fix DNA fragments 5. probe with labelled messenger RNA or cDNA 6. wash Complementary mRNA/cDNA fragments will have hybridised. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Southern blot analysis | A procedure to separate and identify DNA sequences; DNA fragments are separated by electrophoresis on an agarose gel, transferred (blotted) onto a nitrocellulose or nylon membrane, and hybridised with complementary (labelled) nucleic acid probes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Southern blotting | <molecular biology, procedure> General term for the transfer of protein, RNA or DNA molecules from a relatively thick acrylamide or agarose gel or to a paper like membrane (usually nylon or nitrocellulose) by capilliarity or an electric field, preserving the spatial arrangment. Once on the membrane, the molecules are immobilised, typically by baking or by ultra violet irradiation and can then be detected at high sensitivity by hybridisation (in the case of DNA & RNA) or antibody labelling (in the case of protein). RNA blots are called Northern blots, DNA blots, Southern, protein blots, Western. (18 Nov 1997) |
| biometrical school | A group of British geneticists, followers of Galton and Karl Pearson, whose approach to genetics was quantitative rather than enumerative. (05 Mar 2000) |
