Energetics, adaptation, and adaptability
American Journal of Human Biology, 1996Energy capture and conversion are fundamental to human existence, and over the past three decades biological anthropologists have used a number of approaches which incorporate energetics measures in studies of human population biology. Human groups can vary enormously in their energy expenditure.

Ethology and Sociobiology, 1990
Abstract This essay is structured as follows. First, I describe the adaptationist program, or teleonomy, in biology. Second, I review the methodologies of this program. Third, I discuss the role that the environment of evolutionary adaptedness plays in the adaptationist program.

Profiles of career adaptivity and their relations with adaptability, adapting, and adaptation
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2017Career adaptivity is the first factor in a chain of putative effects posited in the career construction theory (CCT): Adaptivity → Adaptability → Adapting → Adaptation. Hitherto, research on adaptivity has chiefly used variable-centered strategies to investigate the independent effects of adaptivity-related traits on adaptability, adapting, and ...

Proceedings of the fourth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems, 2005
Agents often have to perform repeated on-line searches as they gain additional knowledge about their environment. We describe an incremental version of A*, called Adaptive A*, that solves series of similar search problems faster than running A* repeatedly from scratch because it updates its heuristics between search episodes.

Adaptation and the effort needed to adapt
Proceedings of the 48h IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) held jointly with 2009 28th Chinese Control Conference, 2009Tuning a system to an operating environment calls for experimentation, and a question that arises naturally is: how many experiments are needed to come up with a system meeting certain performance specifications? This paper is an attempt to answer this fundamental question at a somehow general level.

AbstractWhy is it important to understand early experience in the context of the environment of evolutionary adaptedness (EEA)? The answer hinges on the meaning of the term adaptation, and different meanings of this term have different implications for the contemporary relevance of early hominid practices.

Shared adaptiveness is not group adaptation
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2013AbstractClimate stresses and monetary resources seem to lead to different collective adaptations. However, the reference to adaptation and to ambiguous collective dimensions appears premature; populations may entertain nothing more than shared adaptiveness.

This thesis investigates the engagement of prominent British literary writers in adaptations of their works to theatre and film between 1823 and 1938 to understand how unregulated adaptations, new media, media rivalries, the variable position of writers within and across media, and other social, cultural, economic, and legal ...
