The chemical evolution of Omega Centauri's progenitor system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Chemical evolution models are presented for the anomalous globular cluster Omega Centauri. After demonstrating that the chemical features of Omega Cen can not be reproduced in the framework of the closed-box self-enrichment scenario, we discuss a model ...

Origin of symbol-using systems: speech, but not sign, without the semantic urge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Natural language—spoken and signed—is a multichannel phenomenon, involving facial and body expression, and voice and visual intonation that is often used in the service of a social urge to communicate meaning.

The evolution of a selection system

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics, 1995
Summary: The article is a case study. It describes the initialization and subsequent modifications of the selection process used for the annual Award for Excellence in Teaching at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). The method treats highly unbalanced data and utilizes some exploratory data analysis techniques in interesting ways.

Non-perturbative treatment of non-Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We identify the conditions that guarantee equivalence of the reduced dynamics of an open quantum system (OQS) for two different types of environments - one a continuous bosonic environment leading to a unitary system-environment evolution and the other a

The Evolution of Complex Systems

open access: yesZeitschrift für Naturforschung A, 1988
Abstract A principle of evolution of highly complex systems is proposed. It is based on extremal properties of the information I (X, Y) characterizing two states X and Y with respect to each other, I(X, Y) = H(Y) -H(Y/X), where H(Y) is the entropy of state Y,H (Y/X) the entropy in state Y given the ...

Planetary nebula progenitors that swallow binary systems

open access: yes, 2015
I propose that some irregular `messy' planetary nebulae owe their morphologies to triple-stellar evolution where tight binary systems evolve inside and/or on the outskirts the envelope of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars.

Evolution of triage systems [PDF]

open access: yesEmergency Medicine Journal, 2006
The French word "trier", the origin of the word "triage", was originally applied to a process of sorting, probably around 1792, by Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, Surgeon in Chief to Napoleon's Imperial Guard. Larrey was credited with designing a flying ambulance: the Ambulance Volante.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.
