Possible Problems, Theory Anthony E. Butterfield
References • Needs to be clear if you are making a reference to something in your table of references. • Example:17. Veigel C., M. L. Bartoo, D. C. S. White, J. C. Sparrow, J. E. Molloy. 1998. The stiffness of rabbit skeletal actomyosin cross-bridges determined with an optical tweezers transducer. Biophysical Journal. 75:1424-1438. • In-text references: • …as seen in research on rabbit skeletal actomyosin (17). • …as seen in research on rabbit skeletal actomyosin17. • …as seen in research on rabbit skeletal actomyosin (Veigel et al. 1998).
Equations • Look at the examples • Numbered equations are capitalized: • For example“Using Equation 4 the meaning of life, ML, is calculated.” • Explain all symbols in text. • Use same font in text as you use in equations. It is not xa, m, y, and b. It should be xa, m, y, and b
Figures • Most should be in Methods section. • Need captions. • Figure fonts need to be legible without need for microscopy. • About the same as font in remainder of text. • Give reference when you take images from others. • In professional life get permission (or a lawyer).
Handing It In • Send Theory section in electronically only, at least to me. • Formal report should come in both electronically and as a hard copy. • Make sure CLEAR gets your formal report electronically through their site.
Miscellaneous Problems • Introduction and Methods information in the Theory. • Tense problems. • Theory = present • Methods = past • Missing equations you will need to satisfy the problem statement. • Assumptions need to be made clear.
