Missing domesticated plant forms: can artificial selection fill the gap?
In the course of their evolution, the angiosperms have radiated into most known plant forms and life histories. Their adaptation to a recently created habitat, the crop field, produced a novel form: the plant that allocates an unprecedented 30-60% of its net productivity to sexual structures. Long-lived trees, shrubs and vines of this form evolved, as did annual herbs. Perennial herb forms with...
متن کاملFrom Monkey Alarm Calls to Human Language: How Simulations Can Fill the Gap
Observations of alarm calling behaviour in putty-nosed monkeys are suggestive of a link with human language evolution. However, as is often the case in studies of animal behaviour and cognition, competing theories are under-determined by the available data. We argue that computational modelling, and in particular the use of individual-based simulations, is an effective way to reduce the size of...
متن کاملVirtual Organisational Trust Requirements: Can Semiotics Help Fill The Trust Gap?
It is suggested that the use of the semiotic ladder, together with a supportive trust agent can be used together to better explicate “soft” trust issues in the context of Grid services. The contribution offered here is intended to fill a gap in current understanding and modelling of such issues and to support Grid service designers to better conceptualise, hence manage trust issues. The semioti...
متن کاملGap-fill Methods for Estimating Fatigue Damage
The fatigue damage calculated for an aircraft by the Individual Aircraft Tracking (IAT) programs is dependent on the quality of input data. When the input data quality is poor or invalid, aircraft operators resort to gap-filling techniques to account for missing or invalid data. Invariably, conservative estimates of fatigue damage are obtained by imposing severe penalties for invalid or missing...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Network Selection for the Detection of Plant Viruses
The aim of this work is the development of an intelligent system for the detection of plant viruses, using biosensors and Artificial Neural Networks. The system is based on the Bioelectric Recognition Assay (BERA) method for the detection of viruses, developed by our team. BERA sensors detect the electric response of culture cells suspended in a gel matrix, as a result to their interaction with...
