THE ADAPTIVE VALUE OF FEVER

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1996
There is overwhelming evidence in favor of fever being an adaptive host response to infection that has persisted throughout the animal kingdom for hundreds of millions of years. As such, it is probable that the use of antipyretic/anti-inflammatory/analgesic drugs, when they lead to suppression of fever, results in increased morbidity and mortality ...

Adaptive Value of Regenerative Ability

Nature, 1961
THE view that the distribution of regenerative ability among and within animals is not correlated with the incidence of loss or damage to their organs, and so with survival value, rests very heavily on the work of Morgan1 on the hermit crab, Eupagurus longicarpus.

Return value adapter pattern

ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 2014
This paper discusses a pattern that happens when the designer of a class is attempting to implement an array subscript operator in C++ using an adapter class for the return value. The return value adapter provides an interface to the caller that gives specialized access to the internal data of the referenced class.

Matrix valued adaptive cross approximation

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2016
A new variant of the Adaptive Cross Approximation (ACA) for approximation of dense block matrices is presented. This algorithm can be applied to matrices arising from the Boundary Element Methods (BEM) for elliptic or Maxwell systems of partial differential equations. The usual interpolation property of the ACA is generalised for the matrix valued case.

Adaptive values of bipedalism

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1967
AbstractThe adaptive significance of the multiple evolution of bipedalism is surveyed and discussed. Probable modes of origin and the relative advantages of saltatorial and alternating gaits are expressed in terms of foot stability, speed of progression, directional changes, control of momentum and overcoming body inertia. It is suggested that analysis

Adaptive value, entropy and survivorship curves

Nature, 1978
NATURAL survivorship curves fall into three main types1,2. Type I, or rectangular distribution, describes the situation in which all individuals attain the maximum physiological longevity of the species. Here the maximum age at death and the mean life expectancy coincide. The Type II life table describes a mortality which is independent of age; that is,

Environmental Values and Adaptive Management

Environmental Values, 2001
The trend in environmental management toward more adaptive, community-based, and holistic approaches will require new approaches to environmental valuation. In this paper, we offer a new valuation approach, one that embodies the core principles of adaptive management, which is experimental, multi-scalar, and place-based.

Adaptive fuzzy-valued service selection

Proceedings of the 2010 ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, 2010
Service composition concerns both integration of heterogeneous distributed applications and dynamic selection of services. QoS-aware selection enables a service requester with certain QoS requirements to classify services according to their QoS guarantees.
