Individual-based models in ecology after four decades
Individual-based models simulate populations and communities by following individuals and their properties. They have been used in ecology for more than four decades, with their use and ubiquity in ecology growing rapidly in the last two decades. Individual-based models have been used for many applied or "pragmatic" issues, such as informing the protection and management of particular populatio...
متن کاملControlling chaos in ecology: from deterministic to individual-based models.
The possibility of chaos control in biological systems has been stimulated by recent advances in the study of heart and brain tissue dynamics. More recently, some authors have conjectured that such a method might be applied to population dynamics and even play a nontrivial evolutionary role in ecology. In this paper we explore this idea by means of both mathematical and individual-based simulat...
متن کاملeLearning After Four Decades: What About Sustainability?
After four decades of eLearning, we find a wide gap between the academic state of the art and commercially successful, broadly used eLearning in practice. To narrow this gap, we advocate a focus on sustainability in eLearning. To this end, the paper and keynote take the following steps: i) a brief review of the four decades of eLearning; ii) a rough categorization of eLearning concepts as a pre...
متن کاملThe genetic code revisited--four decades after Francis Crick.
The ancient essential process of ribosomal protein synthesis requires twenty sets of aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs), one for each canonical amino acid. Since Crick proposed his adaptor hypothesis (1) it was commonly accepted that all organisms possess twenty aaRSs, each enzyme specific for attaching one amino acid to tRNA. It is now clear that aa-tRNA formation is more varied, as the biosynthetic r...
متن کاملResearch: looking back and ahead after four decades of progress.
though 1990 marked the 25th anniversary of the American };. Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF), organized research efforts in the profession have been undelway for several decades. Previous articles in this series have highlighted developments in praerice and education over the past 40 years, in which the years 1949 and 1989 have been compared. Dramatic changes have occurred since 1949 in t...
