The purposes focus on the ability to assemble, acces s, and evaluate relevant materials more easily and efficiently, using summaries of source items instead of the original items themselves.The basic principle to keep in mind while writing an abstract, is that the abstract may be the only text that users search and consult, if they choose not to retrieve the original data or information. Remembering this may help the abstractor focus on t he key elements and select terminology to be included. Types of abstracts There are two primary types of abstracts and selection of the appropriate type is dependent upon the nature of the material being described, and the intended use of the abstract. The indicative abstract contains generalized statements to convey (indicate) to the user what the described item is about. It is very brief, and does not contain specific findings. Its purpose is to acquaint users with the subject content of the resour ce and to help them decide whether or not to consult the original source. The informative abstract is generally longer and contains more complete and precise information about the resource, such as scope, objectives, and purpose of the work, methodolo gies used, key quantitative data, and any conclusions and recommendations. Its purpose is to serve as a true substitute for or surrogate of the resource. </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12#post-27 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:10:45 +0000 Charles Beg 27@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>Congratulation to both of you for a new web site.... </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=11#post-26 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:09:12 +0000 Charles Beg 26@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>The Department of Anthropology invites applications from outstanding scholars for a tenure-track position, at the junior or mid-career level, to start September 1, 2011, pending administrative and budgetary approval. The department is looking for scholars with exceptional records in teaching and research in biological anthropology specializing in, skeletal biology, functional anatomy, ontogeny or life history studies and/or quantitative approaches to morphology. It is anticipated that the candidate will complement and strengthen departmental interests in evolutionary primatology, skeletal morphology, dental anthropology, human paleontology, molecular primatology, and primate behavioral ecology. The successful candidate will be affiliated with the Center for the Study of Human Origins and with the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology. </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=11#post-25 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:46:09 +0000 alpers 25@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>very nice post thnaks to share it. </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=6#post-24 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:45:33 +0000 alpers 24@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>Abstract: Guidance is presented for authors and editors preparing abstracts that represent the content of texts reporting. </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=14#post-23 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:44:21 +0000 alpers 23@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>Student Prize Awards are awarded annually by the Society's Education Committee for oral paper and poster paper presentations. </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=16#post-22 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:40:03 +0000 alpers 22@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>well i also hate bad communities </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12#post-21 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:38:36 +0000 alpers 21@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>cheers friends and congratulation for a new site. </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=16#post-18 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:41:33 +0000 dogtsensund69 18@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>No bad community, very no bad </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=14#post-16 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:06:56 +0000 Christinaa 16@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>Teeth are an ideal and commonly used source of ancient deoxyribonucleic acid (aDNA) however the amount of DNA in human teeth has yet to be quantified. In addition the behaviour of DNA within the postmortem environment is yet to be described. These form the two main questions that I am currently asking in my PhD. This is of importance because human teeth are scarce and valued resources to multiple fields. My aim is to be able to sample the smallest amount of tooth that will provide the best results, while inflicting the minimum physical damage. Presently I have obtained preliminary results that are indicating how we should sample to obtain the best results and how this ancient DNA is behaving differently to modern DNA. </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=13#post-15 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:37:51 +0000 nick milne 15@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>Nick Milne has been nominated by Linc Schmitt for the position of President of ASHB</p> <p>Debra Judge has been nominated by Nick Milne for the position of Treasurer of ASHB </p> http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12#post-14 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:12:28 +0000 rossb 14@http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, Algis.
