Charles Darwin found inspiration for his theory of evolution in birds’ beaks, giant tortoise shells — and language. “The survival of certain favored words in the struggle for existence is natural selection,” he wrote in The Descent of Man in 1871. Language gradually shifts over time. Much...
The theory of evolutionary algorithms on continuous space gravitates around the evolution strategy with one individual, adaptive mutation, and elitist selection, optimizing the symmetric, quadratic SPHERE function. The classic, normal mutation theory consists of three main building-blocks: 1) a two-term...
knowledge,and argues that the relational financing is suitable to the Chinese SMEs.A simplified two-stage model verifies that tacit knowledge can reduce the level of information asymmetric in the financing process,and shows that the risk free interest rate and expected revenue affect relational ...
Biological technologies are fundamentally unlike any other because biology evolves. Bioengineering therefore requires novel design methodologies with evolution at their core. Knowledge about evolution is currently applied to the design of biosystems ad h
To further verify this simplified theory, a comparison with the result produced from a rigorous method is also provided, we find that the evolution curves of the forward wave power predicted by the two methods exhibit excellent agreement. In practical applications, the developed theory can be used...

The concept of orthogonality of experimental designs and the factors of a design has been discussed by numerous authors and defined in a variety of ways which in general are equivalent. The analysis of experimental designs is simplified by the property of orthogonality. Nonorthogonal designs are usua...

Unraveling the functional role of neuromodulatory systems has been a major challenge for cognitive neuroscience, giving rise to theories ranging from a simple role in vigilance to complex models concerning decision making, prediction errors or unexpected uncertainty. A new, simplified and overarching the...
Scientists have grappled with reconciling biological evolution1,2 with the immutable laws of the Universe defined by physics. These laws underpin life’s origin, evolution and the development of human culture and technology, yet they do not predict the e
