Evolution: Contingent Predictability in Mammalian Evolution.
Convergence of distantly related species to similar forms speaks to the predictability of evolution, but we still lack general insights into whether convergence is more common or rare than we would expect. Using a global dataset of mammalian species, Mazel and colleagues find that both convergence and divergence occur more often than expected. Convergence was especially common at broad scales t...
متن کاملSnow Catastrophe Conditions: What is its Impact on Orthopedic Injuries?
Background: Iran places sixth amongst high risk natural disaster countries and Guilan province of Iran shoulders a large amount of socio-economic burden due to snow catastrophes. The more knowledge of circumstances we have, the more efficient our future encounters will be. Methods: In this retrospective study, of all of the patients admitted to Poursina Hospital due to snow and ice related tr...
متن کاملPredictability, complexity, and catastrophe in a collapsible model of population, development, and environmental interactions.
"More and more population forecasts are being produced with associated 95 percent confidence intervals. How confident are we of those confidence intervals? In this paper, we produce a simulated dataset in which we know both past and future population sizes, and the true 95 percent confidence intervals at various future dates. We use the past data to produce population forecasts and estimated 95...
متن کاملReferential Choice: Predictability and Its Limits
We report a study of referential choice in discourse production, understood as the choice between various types of referential devices, such as pronouns and full noun phrases. Our goal is to predict referential choice, and to explore to what extent such prediction is possible. Our approach to referential choice includes a cognitively informed theoretical component, corpus analysis, machine lear...
متن کاملEl Niño and Its Predictability: 1856-2003
Recent studies suggest that the predictability of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is limited by the effects of atmospheric “noise” such as the westerly wind bursts in the western equatorial Pacific. Here retrospective forecasts of the interannual climate fluctuations in the tropical Pacific for the period from 1856 to 2003 were carried out using an improved ocean-atmosphere coupled mode...
