Bacterial evolution and the Bak-Sneppen model [PDF]

, 2001
Recently, Lenski et al \cite{Elena,Lenski,Travisano} have carried out several experiments on bacterial evolution. Their findings support the theory of punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution. They have further quantified the relative contributions

Model Reduction on the Wnt Pathway Leads to Biological Adaptation [PDF]

, 2017
Complex systems are an unavoidable problem in the field of biology. One of the ways that scientists have tried to overcome this problem is by building mathematical models—manageable representations designed to look at specific physical phenomena. The Wnt

Considering adaptation and the ‘function’ of traits in the classroom, using wiki tools [PDF]

, 2010
The conceptual understanding of the process of adaptation (whereby a population becomes better suited to its environment over evolutionary time) is acknowledged to be a difficult one.

Adaptive Biological Networks

, 2009
Mycelial fungi and acellular slime molds grow as self-organized networks that explore new territory to search for resources, whilst maintaining an effective internal transport system in the face of continuous attack or random damage. These networks adapt during development by selective reinforcement of major transport routes and recycling of the ...

Adaptation to synchronization in phase-oscillator networks

, 2008
We introduce an adaptation algorithm by which an ensemble of coupled oscillators with attractive and repulsive interactions is induced to adopt a prescribed synchronized state.

Temperature Effects on Development of Three Cereal Aphid Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Temperature is an important climatological variable that influences the biology and ecology of insects. Poor climatic adaptation can limit the effectiveness of parasitic insects in biological control.

Pressure effects on lipids and bio-membrane assemblies [PDF]

, 2014
Membranes are amongst the most important biological structures; they maintain the fundamental integrity of cells, compartmentalize regions within them and play an active role in a wide range of cellular processes.

Biologically adapted radiation therapy

Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik, 2018
The aim of biologically adapted radiotherapy (RT) is to shape or paint the prescribed radiation dose according to biological properties of the tumor in order to increase local control rates in the future. Human tumors are known to present with an extremely heterogeneous tissue architecture leading to highly variable local cell densities and chaotic ...

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.
