Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are stochastic search methods that mimic the natural biological evolution and/or the social behavior of species. Such algorithms have been developed to arrive at near-optimum solutions to large-scale optimization problems, for which traditional mathematical techniques may fail...
Evolvability of software lies in intersection of 3 factors: evolving system properties, human factors present in the developer team, and evolution demands. The paper presents 5 recommendations that enhance software evolvability: defined processes of software change, distinction between evolving and ...
a, Evolution and domestication of five polyploid lineages, Gh, Gb, Gt, Gd and Gm, after polyploidization between an A-genome African species (Ga-like) and a D-genome American species (Gr-like). Typical seeds from each species are shown. The divergence time estimates are based on 21,567 ...
supercomputing is mainly used to solve computing problems. Customers bring data on hard drives to a supercomputing center and copy the results back onto hard drives, leaving no data for long-term storage in the center. However, the evolution of supercomputing has led to both changes and new cha...
Evolvability of software lies in intersection of 3 factors: evolving system properties, human factors present in the developer team, and evolution demands. The paper presents 5 recommendations that enhance software evolvability: defined processes of software change, distinction between evolving and stabilize...
During the 1928-29 Expedition, centred at Low Isles, Spender mapped the 'low wooded islands' or 'island-reefs' of Low Isles and Three Isles in detail, and additional information was published by Steers, T. A. Stephenson and others. From this work, two different models of the evolution of...
The review concentrates on the processes of international aid for development giving lighter treatment to the more sector-specific processes of development itself and to the wider range of international economic relationships. Chapter I traces the evolution of official development assistance drawing ...
The Montreal Protocol also does not consider ODSs used as feedstocks in making new chemicals or produced as co-products in industrial processes, as it was judged that such gases would be contained and destroyed in the manufacturing process. Neither of these judgements turned out to be correct for...
“It explains 14 billion years of the evolution of the universe, a sort of engineering experiment on the largest possible scale. It spans all scales of space and time, describing everything from the largest scales of the universe to the smallest scales of molecules and atoms. It’s a good...
Snakes have numerous features distinctive from other tetrapods and a rich history of genome evolution that is still obscure. Here, we report the high-quality genome of the five-pacer viper, Deinagkistrodon acutus, and comparative analyses with other repr
