Towards a theory of meaning in biology: a proposal for an operative definition.
Rivista di biologia, 2003Information is a concept developed inside the context of computational and computer sciences. Entropy is a concept developed inside physics context. The best concept in biology is that of "meaning" which is quite impossible to be measured as stated by some examples which are reported.

Biologie des Prostatacarcinoms und seine operative Behandlung
1973Nach dem Lungenkrebs steht das Prostatacarcinom an zweiter Stelle als Todesursache an Krebs in der mannlichen Bevolkerung der USA (etwa 17600 Todesfalle im Jahre 1972)1. Die heutige Behandlung des Prostatacareinoms kann von zwei wesentlichen Gesichtspunkten aus betrachtet werden: 1.

Analysis of Degenerate Diffusion Operators Arising in Population Biology
2012In this chapter, we describe our recent work on the analytic foundations for the study of degenerate diffusion equations which arise as the infinite population limits of standard models in population genetics. Our principal results concern existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions when the data belong to anisotropic Holder spaces, adapted to ...

Co-operation of Biology Related Algorithms for Multi-objective Binary Optimization
2015 IIAI 4th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics, 2015A modification of the self-tuning meta-heuristic, called Co-Operation of Biology Related Algorithms, for multiobjective optimization problems with binary variables (COBRA-bm) is introduced. Its basic idea consists of a cooperative work of five well-known bionic algorithms such as the Particle Swarm Optimization, the Wolf Pack Search, the Firefly ...

Testing Methods: The Evaluation of Discovery Operations in Evolutionary Biology
Cladistics, 2002Scientific discovery requires both abstract, theoretically defined concepts and discovery operations formed by sets of rules that permit the empirical detection of instances of those concepts. In this paper, I examine the ontological status of discovery operations and the tests employed to evaluate them in evolutionary biology.

Co-Operation of Biology-Related Algorithms for Constrained Multiobjective Optimization
2015A modification of the self-tuning meta-heuristic, called Co-Operation of Biology Related Algorithms for multiobjective optimization problems COBRA-m is introduced. Its basic idea consists of a cooperative work of five well-known bionic algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization, Wolf Pack Search, the Firefly Algorithm, the Cuckoo Search Algorithm ...

[ROC (receiver operating characteristics) curve: principles and application in biology].
Annales de biologie clinique, 2005Laboratory test's diagnostic performances are generally estimated by means of their sensibility, specificity and positive and negative predictive values. Unfortunately, these indices reflect only imperfectly the capacity of a test to correctly classify subjects into clinically relevant subgroups.

Does terminology from biology work in the realm of operant behaviour?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2001The authors note that theoretical revision is likely to be required to refine and clarify a general theory of selection so that it is capable of accounting for selection processes across different subject matters. Some aspects of conceptual language from the biological realm work across all three domains.

ANERIS: Marine Life Sensing Technologies for an Operational Marine Biology Network
The ongoing biodiversity crisis may result in much of the ocean's biodiversity being lost or deeply modified without even being known. Biological observations need to improve radically to serve our understanding of marine ecosystems and biodiversity under multiple climate and anthropogenic-related impacts.Jaume Piera +3 more
