This paper compares systematically the two theoretical models of adaptation, ecological and evolutionary. Using notions from innovation, learning, and balanced change, the two models are contrasted in the context of 73 European, Japanese, and U.S. industrial robotics firms that introduced new robotics products in 1984-1997. A hybrid of ecological and evolutionary views is found to predict innov...

Abstract Philosophers have used thought experiments to examine contentious examples of genetic modification. We hypothesised that these would prove useful in provoking responses from lay participants concerning technological interventions address welfare concerns. asked 747 US and Canadian citizens respond two scenarios based on experiments: genetically modifying chickens produce blind progeny ...

A workflow-driven ontology is an ontology that encodes disciplinespecific knowledge in the form of concepts and relationships and that facilitates the composition of services to create products and derive data. Early work on the development of such an ontology resulted in the construction of a gravity data ontology and the categorization of concepts: “Data,” “Method,” and “Product.” “Data” is f...

This work aimed to study and compare the effect of incorporation agro-industrial by-products (chestnut shell, grapeseed, pomegranate peel) into yoghurts fortify them while assessing their potential replace synthetic preservatives. From each by-product, phenolic extracts were obtained characterized. All demonstrated antioxidant antibacterial properties, capacity inhibit α-amylase. Chestnut shell...

Introduction. Lactic acid microorganisms are widely used in the production of lactic foods, including for creation new products with functional properties. The ability some types organisms to produce proteolytic enzymes can be other food industries, particular meat industry. This issue has not been studied enough scientific literature. Purpose. purpose this work is substantiate feasibility usin...
