	Theoretical ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tradition pursued in universities and scientific journals under the rubric of theoretical ecology addresses the equations and probability distributions that govern the demography and biogeography of species.
		A small number of enthusiastic disciples of Rosen are led to claim that "the scientific paradigm behind this theory represents a radical departure from the mainstream mechanical and reductionist paradigm dating back to Newton and Descartes.", but for the most part he has been otherwise totally ignored.
		Theoretical ecologist Robert Ulanowicz builds on work by Rosen and others to develop a comprehensive "ecological metaphysic".

	Theoretical astrophysics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theoretical astrophysics is the discipline that seeks to explain the phenomena observed by astronomers in physical terms with a theoretic approach.
		With this purpose, theoretical astrophysicists create and evaluate models and physical theories to reproduce and predict the observations.
		Topics studied by theoretical astrophysicists include: stellar dynamics and evolution; galaxy formation; large-scale structure of matter in the Universe; origin of cosmic rays; general relativity and cosmology, including string cosmology.

	HYLE 6-1 (2000): The Epistemological Status of Theoretical Models of Molecular Structure
		In the conception of theoretical models presented here, the particular problem and the degree of adequacy with which it should be solved is regarded as their constitutive feature.[4] The second feature of theoretical models is that they are constructed in order to show the inherent structure, composition, and mechanism of the object (system) being modeled.
		Precautions are even more recommended because the theoretical conception on the basis of which the conceptualization of a given empirical object (system) is made does not have to be the same as the one to which we refer when building its model.
		With respect to theoretical models, the traditional controversy was between supporters of the realistic interpretation and supporters of the constructivistic interpretation of their cognitive status.

	20th WCP: Bootstrapping and the Problem of Testing Quantitative Theoretical Hypotheses
		The former attempts to solve the problem by eliminating theoretical quantities by means of the so-called Ramsey-Sneed sentence that represents the global empirical claim of the given theory.
		I argue that in those cases where the theoretical quantities are not strongly Ramsey-eliminable-which seems to be the case for most of the actual physical theories-eliminationism does not succeed in computing the values of theoretical quantities and is compelled to use bootstrapping in this task.
		The theoretical claim of a theory T with set J of theoretical applications is defined as the statement that (i) every application belonging to J satisfy the laws of the theory and (ii) the different applications belonging to J satisfy the constraint of T.

	Careers in Theoretical Biology
		Theoretical biology may be defined as the application of reason to biology.
		Theoretical biologists cover all of biology, and are invading areas of philosophy, sociology and public policy.
		As one senior theoretical biologist, Robert Rosen put it: "Theoretical biology is intended to stand in the same relation to experimental biology as theoretical physics does to experimental physics.

	The KLI Theory Lab - Theoretical Biology
		It must be emphasised that theoretical biology differs from theoretical physics in that (i) it emphasises the rational treatment of diversity and complexity; (ii) it tries to combine holistic ideas with the modelling approach; and (iii) the number of relevant facts that must be taken into account is very large.

		There are strong ties to the Fermilab Theoretical Physics Group, the Argonne Theoretical High Energy Group, and the High Energy Experiment group at Chicago.
		The theoretical underpinnings of the subject are finally taking shape, due to the recent discovery of nonperturbative dualities between different descriptions of the theory.

	Books: Methods of Theoretical Psychology
		Theoretical psychology stands in the same relation to psychology as theoretical physics does to physics.
		The traditional way to study theoretical psychology is to take up one approach after another--behavioral, psychoanalytic, cognitive, and so on.
		Instead, it is to prepare the reader to analyze and advance the theoretical literature in any tradition.

	A Routledge Journal: Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities
		Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities encourages a critical engagement with theory in terms of disciplinary development and intellectual and political usefulness, the inquiry into and articulation of culture, and the complex determination of change and its relation to history.
		The journal is committed to fostering the theory of minor movements, recognising their significant impact on and dynamic relation to the development of cultures, political spaces and academic disciplines, and emphasising their formative power rather than their oppositional entrenchment.
		It aims to break down the division between academic and non-academic writers and readers with the belief that theoretical questions should carry a political force and not be confined to university institutions and the publishing game.

		Our goal is to create a new generation of neuroscientists who have a firm grasp of the basic principles of theory in the physical sciences and, at the same time, a firm grounding in the basic principles and approaches of experimental neuroscience.
		We expect that these young scientists will develop mature research programs that combine experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding the operation of the intact brain and that the combined theoretical/experimental training they have received will enable them to make breakthroughs that would not have been possible by either experimental or theoretical approaches alone.
		All the laboratories are contained within one 10,000 square foot facility that consists of newly renovated space and state-of-the-art research facilities for computing, microscopy, and electrical and optical recording from the brain.
