Eye evolution and its functional basis
Eye evolution is driven by the evolution of visually guided behavior. Accumulation of gradually more demanding behaviors have continuously increased the performance requirements on the photoreceptor organs. Starting with nondirectional photoreception, I argue for an evolutionary sequence continuing with directional photoreception, low-resolution vision, and finally, high-resolution vision. Calc...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

Corticosteroids are being rn;;ed in different ophthalmic disorder as anti-inflamatory agent. A.C.T.H. stimulated the supra renal glands and causes an increase steroid concentration of the blood. Corticosteroids can be used as antiinflamatory agent locally ar.d systemically. The new corticom,teroids like prednison, dexxametason and prednisolon are more effective ( 5 to 10 times) than the o...
متن کاملHuman Creativity: Its Cognitive Basis, its Evolution, and its Connections with Childhood Pretence
This paper defends two initial claims. First, it argues that essentially the same cognitive resources are shared by adult creative thinking and problem-solving, on the one hand, and by childhood pretend play, on the otherÐnamely, capacities to generate and to reason with suppositions (or imagined possibilities). Second, it argues that the evolutionary function of childhood pretence is to practi...
متن کاملThe functional basis of adaptive evolution in chemostats.
Two of the central problems in biology are determining the molecular basis of adaptive evolution and understanding how cells regulate their growth. The chemostat is a device for culturing cells that provides great utility in tackling both of these problems: it enables precise control of the selective pressure under which organisms evolve and it facilitates experimental control of cell growth ra...
