Marler was an internationally recognized researcher in the field of bird song. Through his work with songbirds, he helped gain fundamental insights into the acquisition of song. He also studied the development of communication skills in several primate species: chimpanzees and gorillas, along with Jane Goodall and Hugo...

Stanine (STAndard NINE) is a method of scaling test scores on a nine-point standard scale with a mean of five and a standard deviation of two.

Test scores are scaled to stanine scores using the following algorithm: Rank results from lowest to highest Give the lowest 4% a stanine of 1, the next 7% a stanine of 2, etc., according to the following table:The underlying basis for obtaining stanines is that a normal distribution is divided into nine intervals, each...

Today stanines are mostly used in educational assessment. The University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada used the stanine system until 2003, when it switched to a 4-point scale.

Bruce.According to the original Bruce protocol the patient walks on an uphill treadmill in a graded exercise test with electrodes on the chest to monitor. Ev...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_protocol
Exercise is performed on a treadmill. The leads of the ECG are placed on the chest wall. The treadmill is started at 2.74 km/h (1.7mph) & at an inclined gradient of 10%. After 3 min incline of the treadmill is increased by 2%, and the speed increases. Indications to terminate the test include signs or symptoms of impai...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_protocol
Before the development of the Bruce protocol there was no safe, standardized protocol that could be used to monitor cardiac function in exercising patients. Master's two-step test was often used, but it was too strenuous for many patients, and inadequate for the assessment of respiratory and circulatory function during...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_protocol
The Bruce exercise test involved walking on a treadmill while the heart was monitored by an electrocardiograph with various electrodes attached to the body. Breathing volumes and respiratory gas exchange were also monitored before, during and after exercise. Because the treadmill speed and inclination could be adjusted...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_protocol
Initial experiments involved a single-stage test, in which subjects walked for 10 minutes on the treadmill at a fixed workload. Bruce's first reports on treadmill exercise tests, published in 1949, analyzed minute-by-minute changes in respiratory and circulatory function of normal adults and patients with heart or lung...

It was this multistage test — a description of which was first published in 1963 — that became known as the Bruce Protocol. In the initial paper, Bruce reported that the test could detect signs of such conditions as angina pectoris, a previous heart attack, or a ventricular aneurysm. Bruce and his colleagues also demon...

Maximum heart rate (MHR) is often calculated with the formula 220-age, which is quite inaccurate. The heart rate formula most often used for the Bruce is the Karvonen formula (below).

In parallel with his work in cybernetics, Glanville developed a variety of views of design in relationship to cybernetics, and to science more generally.
