The evolution of life on Earth has been a subject of intense debate, various theories and elaborate studies. Influenced by religion, early scientists agreed with the theory of divine conception of life. With the development of natural sciences such as geology, anthropology and biology, scientists d...
N. L. Bowen and Crystallization-Differentiation: the Evolution of a Theory is an engaging and insightful book. Author Davis A. Young presents a historical examination of Bowen's scientific life, his debates with great petrologists of the time like Daly, Fenner,Wager, and Read, and the ...
Evolution, which can be defined as the natural change in the inherited characteristics of groups of organisms, is as well established as the Roman Empire or any other event that is accepted as fact. Unfortunately, the common phrase "theory of evolution" has misled many people into believing tha...
According to this theory, yawning in adults is just a developmental fossil with no biological function. But, while accepting that not everything in life can be explained by Darwinian evolution, there are sound reasons for being skeptical of theories like this one, which avoid the issue of what...
That evolution which has happened is something few scientists can doubt. How it has happened is something that still is discussed. Most biologists now believe that Charles Darwin got very near the truth in his theory of evolution by natural selection. He pointed out that living things vary. The...
We examine the evolution of strategies for a spatial IPD (Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma) game, which are encoded using different representation schemes. Each agent at a cell in a two-dimensional grid-world has its own representation scheme for encoding its strategy. In general, strategies with diff...

Many of the real-world data sets can be portrayed as bipartite networks. Since connections between nodes of the same type are lacking, they need to be inferred. The standard way to do this is by converting the bipartite networks to their monopartite proj
The Evolution of Cognitive Load Theory and the Measurement of Its Intrinsic, Extraneous and Germane Loads: A Review Introduction Since its first full description in the late 1980s,Cognitive Load Theory(CLT) has become a prominent and an influential theory in instructional psychology (Paas and Swell...
The development of catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction is pivotal for the hydrogen economy. Thin iron films covered with monolayer graphene exhibit outstanding catalytic activity, surpassing even that of platinum, as demonstrated by a method based on evaluating the noise in the tunnelling curr...
