  Paediatric Policy: Guidelines for the Funding of Paediatric Research by Formula Companies - Background   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Formula companies have a history of actively promoting their product in competition with breastfeeding to the detriment of infant health.
Jelliffe suggested that "the medical and nursing profession can sometimes be very naive in their interactions with commercial companies so that mixtures of 'manipulation by assistance' and 'endorsement by association' are very frequently and successfully used promotional methods, usually unperceived, minimised, or tolerated by the physicians, nurses and nutritionists concerned" (3).
However, discussion could be expanded to include the acceptance of formula company funds for seminars, visiting speakers, scholarships and prizes, and allowing formula companies to mount trade exhibitions at scientific meetings and to advertise their formula in scientific journals.

 Scientific Formula
The formulae for the size of the group necessary to create a "phase transition" to a measurable higher quality of life in society were calculated.
Scientific studies have shown that the Maharishi Effect can be created by as little as the square root of one per cent of the population of a nation, region, or large city practising Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme together in one place.
However, it is also supported by extensive modern scientific research that validates the power of the TM and TM-Sidhi programme to bring peace even to the most troubled areas of the world.

Date: 03/08/2002 at 14:50:39 From: Ariele McWhinney Subject: Scientific math formula In my science lesson this week they are talking about the doubling time of the human population and other things.
The number in the formula does matter, and it should be about 72; but the formula is only an approximation.
The exact formula is DT = log(2)/log(1+p/100) where p is the percentage increase per unit time.

 CSUN Geography Department: Robert B. Howard - Essay on the Nature of Science, the Scientific Method, and Measurement
This is the scientific community's formula for attempting to determine truth, certainty or validity of propositions.
Years of scientific endeavor have shown that hundreds of scientists working on various problems come up with explanations that are all interrelated thus reinforcing the rational character and seamless beauty of nature and our explanations of natural phenomena.
Scientific training ideally teaches the practitioner of science to doubt everything and at all times to keep a strong sense of detached skepticism.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
If the t' formula is actually either an elapsed time formula, or the basis of a t'/t ratio, then there is no implication that one clock's reading has anything to do with the other's.
Just as obviously, the fact that we now have the correct formula for relating an x interval to an arbitrary x' coordinate, does not mean that x' is anything more than nonsense for use in any scientific formula.
As for x and x', our knowledge of how to setup a proper formula relating t and t' is of no use unless we use the knowledge in scientific formulas; (t'-t.z'+xv/gcc) gives us the only directly useful value: t/g.

 Some hospitals forgo baby-formula handout - The Boston Globe
A scientific analysis in 2000 of previously published studies found that women who got gift bags were less likely to exclusively breast-feed.
In a statement, the formula industry trade association lamented the decision by hospitals to reject the bags.
Still, in the past 10 years, scientific evidence strengthened the argument in favor of breast-feeding, with studies suggesting that babies who are nursed are less prone to stomach ailments and earaches, and that breast-feeding may even protect against chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity.

 HOXSEY HERBAL TREATMENT
There is no scientific evidence that the Hoxsey herbal treatment is effective in treating cancer, and there have been no clinical trials of the treatment.
People who use the internal formula claim that it removes toxins from the body, strengthens the immune system, and enhances its ability to slowly absorb and excrete (get rid of) tumors.
Although it was Harry's father, a veterinarian, who first used the herbal formula to treat people with cancer, Harry was the one who attracted fame and fortune through self-promotion, publicity, and sensational claims.

The formula incorporates the recent Traditional Chinese Medicine understanding of the role of blood-moving herbs in treating the disorders of aging.
The Tango combination is based on traditional Essence tonic herbal formulas that strengthen the human system in face of the declines associated with aging.

 Language Log: Dihydrogen Monoxide
In the case of salt, for example, we have the chemical formula NaCl, the scientific name sodium chloride, and the common name salt.
I suspect that the problem is that most people know that scientists have exotic names for chemical compounds but that a lot don't understand the difference between chemical names and chemical formulae and that the names are systematically related to the formulae.
The result is that, on hearing "dihydrogen monoxide" they don't even try to translate it into a chemical formula because they don't realize that there is a procedure for such translations, or if they do know, they don't remember how to do it.

 HYLE 8-1 (2002): 'Pathological Science' is not Scientific Misconduct (nor is it pathological)
Scientific revolutions introduce startling novelty in just one of the three; typically in theory as with relativity or quantum mechanics, but it might also be in data as with the recognition of radioactivity, or in method as with radio-astronomy.
It has proved impossible to arrive at a definition of scientific misconduct that could be approved by US government agencies (National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation) as well as by professional scientific societies and industries engaged in scientific research.
Scientific misconduct or misconduct in science means fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or other practices that seriously deviate from those that are commonly accepted within the scientific community for proposing, conducting, or reporting research.

 Snore Formula, Inc.
The complaint further alleges that the respondents falsely claimed that scientific testing demonstrates that the tablets eliminate, prevent, or significantly reduce snoring in 86 percent of users.
The consent agreement to settle the charges requires the respondents to have scientific evidence for any future claims about the effect of any food, drug, device, service, or dietary supplement on the structure or function of the human body, or about any other health benefit, or the safety, of any such product or service.
The consent agreement prohibits Snore Formula, Inc. and its officers from providing the "means and instrumentalities" to others to make claims without scientific support about the benefits, performance, efficacy, of safety of any food, drug, device, service, or dietary supplement.

 The Scientific Solution Of The Problem Of Government
The scientific solution of the problem of Government is given in AL (Liber Legis).
This formula must be rigidly applicable to all sane men soever without reference to the individual qualities of any one of them.
The formula is thus also biologically indefeasible, as well as adequate, ethically to every individual, and politically to the State.

 WAPF: Children's Health
Yet our medical system assures us that the diet of a nursing mother does not affect the quality of her milk, and the formula makers warn us that only they can put a sanitary and scientific formula together for our babies.
Most practitioners are horrified at the thought of mothers making formula for their babies, citing the possibility of mistakes and contamination.
There is no better example of the callousness of the formula industry than their promotion of soy-based formula, which is totally unsuitable for babies.

 The FCC and the Science of Tyranny by S.M. Oliva -- Capitalism Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
According to news reports this week, Powell directed FCC economists to devise "an objective scientific formula" for the Commission to use in deciding whether there's enough "diversity" in local media ownership.
The FCC would continue to act arbitrarily and capriciously, but now when they're called out on it, they can point to their mystical formula and say "see, we used science," as if no actual human thought was necessary.
If any of the FCC economists working on Powell's formula have a conscience--or even a minimum regard for individual rights--they will tell their chairman that the best formula is no formula at all; indeed, that the best way to promote a healthy media market is for the government to get out of the way entirely.

 Confused About Soy?
Soy formulas lack cholesterol, another nutrient that is absolutely essential for the development of the brain and nervous system; they also lack lactose and galactose, which play an equally important role in the development of the nervous system.
The rare child allergic to whole milk formula should be given a whole foods meat-based formula, not one made of soy protein isolate.
The fact that neurotoxins are present in baby formula is of particular concern since the blood brain barrier is not fully developed in infants, allowing neurotoxins to be more accessible to the brain than is the case in healthy adults.

In effect, there is an inexpensive and practical method for evaluating your physical condition as well as the effectiveness of your workouts right at your fingertips.
Up until the early 1980's, there were only two heart rate evaluation procedures available: the talk test, which originated with the 1970's running craze, an a quasi-scientific formula based on an athlete's chronological age.
When applying the talk test, it is assumed you are exercising within the aerobic range if you can comfortably talk to your training partner during a workout.

The Kelly formula was for him a risk management discipline and not a direct source of excess return.
Fortune's Formula is not a hodgepodge of anecdotes, but nor is the connecting thread especially taut.
Knowing that a trader who uses the Kelly Formula to maximize return always has a 50% chance of losing 50% (or X% chance of losing (100-X)% generally) of their capital may be an eye-opener for many traders.

Quite obviously, the fact that we now have the correct formula for relating an x interval to an arbitrary x' coordinate even when the x' axis is moving, does not mean that x'is anything more than nonsense for use in any scientific formula.
Unless we were smart enough to put the x zero point in a useful location, and use (x'-x.z'+vt/.3937) in the scientific formula.

 Ellagic Insurance Formula - Prevent Cancer!
The Ellagic Insurance Formula™ is based on ground-breaking research suggesting that extracts of certain plant phytochemicals have therapeutic healing effects in the body that are often greater than the physiological benefits experienced from eating the whole plant or the average daily amount of fruits and vegetables consumed in The Great American Diet.
The scientific laboratory evidence and clinical medical research supporting the protective effects of these nutrients in multiple areas of health concern are reviewed in "Chemopreventive Properties of Phytochemicals " including their potent actions against the two most feared killers of our time, Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer.
It is obviously far too early to conclude or even think that these substances are or could be a cure for any disease, but their potential for protective benefit is certainly great and should not be discounted simply because it is early in the investigative process.
