An Overview of Overcorrection

This paper briefly reviews the overcorrection punishment proceduredeveloped by Foxx and Azrin. Topics covered include the overcorrectionrationale; characteristics of overcorrection, restitution, andpositive practice; the components of overcorrection; and thetypes of overcorrection procedures. Several studies are describedthat illustrate the use of full overcorrection or positive practiceovercorrection alone. Also discussed are the advantages anddisadvantages of overcorrection and comparisons of the treatmenteffectiveness of overcorrection versus other behavioral procedures.     

An overview of Ensembl

Ensembl (http://www.ensembl.org/) is a bioinformatics project to organize biological information around the sequences of large genomes. It is a comprehensive source of stable automatic annotation of individual genomes, and of the synteny and orthology relationships between them. It is also a framework for integration of any biological data that can be mapped onto features derived from the genomic sequence. Ensembl is available as an interactive Web site, a set of flat files, and as a complete, portable open source software system for handling genomes. All data are provided without restriction, and code is freely available. Ensembl's aims are to continue to "widen" this biological integration to include other model organisms relevant to understanding human biology as they become available; to "deepen" this integration to provide an ever more seamless linkage between equivalent components in different species; and to provide further classification of functional elements in the genome that have been previously elusive.
