A Generalized Selected Effects Theory of Function [PDF]
, 2016 I present and defend the generalized selected effects theory (GSE) of function. According to GSE, the function of a trait consists in the activity that contributed to its bearer’s differential reproduction, or differential retention, within a ...

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Hydrophobin‐Coated Echogenic Microbubbles for Molecular Targeting of Tumor Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Echogenic microbubbles based on hydrophobin and corresponding fusion protein (HFBI‐domZ) are developed as contrast agents for cancer diagnostics. Hydrophobin provides high stabilization of encapsulated perfluoro‐n‐butane, and fusion proteins allow further versatile functionalization with antibodies. In‐vitro experiments indicate that these microbubbles
