Evolutionary adaptability of biological macromolecules [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1977 The degree of gradualism with which tertiary structure and function of protein changes with stepwise changes in primary structure (assumed to be influenced by redundancy of weak bonding) is both a precondition for and consequence of evolution. The resulting selection for degree of gradualism has implications for a number of structural and functional ...

Agronomy, 2021 It is projected that, on average, annual temperature will increase between 2 °C to 6 °C under high emission scenarios by the end of the 21st century, with serious consequences in food and nutrition security, especially within semi-arid regions of sub ...

An Adaptation of Bicgstab for Nonlinear Biological Systems [PDF]
, 2006 Here we propose a new adaptation of Van der Vorst’s BiCGStab to nonlinear systems, a method combining the iterative features of both sparse linear system solvers, such as BiCGStab, and of nonlinear systems, which in general are linearized by forming Jacobians, and whose resulting system usually involves the use of a linear solver.

An adaptive microscope for the imaging of biological surfaces [PDF]
Light: Science & Applications, 2021 AbstractScanning fluorescence microscopes are now able to image large biological samples at high spatial and temporal resolution. This comes at the expense of an increased light dose which is detrimental to fluorophore stability and cell physiology.

, 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 ...

Biological Adaptations Associated with Dehydration in Mosquitoes [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Diseases that are transmitted by mosquitoes are a tremendous health and socioeconomic burden with hundreds of millions of people being impacted by mosquito-borne illnesses annually. Many factors have been implicated and extensively studied in disease transmission dynamics, but knowledge regarding how dehydration impacts mosquito physiology, behavior ...

BIOLOGICAL ADAPTATION TO CULTURAL TRAITS
The Evolution of Language, 2014 Recent work on the interaction between biological and cultural evolution has cast doubt on the effectiveness of the Baldwin effect in explaining cognitive adaptations to language, as culturally transmitted language changes too quickly for biological evolution.
