Anthropic arguments outside of cosmology and string theory [PDF]

Belgrade Philosophical Annual, 2016
Anthropic reasoning has lately been strongly associated with the string theory landscape and some theories of particle cosmology, such as cosmological inflation. The association is not, contrary to multiple statements by physicists and philosophers alike,

A Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimisation-Genetic Algorithm for Multi-objective Reservoir Ecological Dispatching

Water Resources Management, 2022
Abstract Reservoir ecological dispatching is a complex system problem with multi-objective, multiple-criteria and multiple-phase. This study establishes a multi-objective ecological dispatching model in Changchun city of Yinma River Basin based on the water demand of social economic development, river ecology, and the constraint of reservoir ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...
