Role playing in human evolution: from life to art, and everything in between by Steven Brown

“…This follower-based process of “acting like” is a critically important mechanism in cultural evolution since it leads to social conformity and the homogenization of group behavior. I argue that the evolutionary transition from “acting like” (emulation) to “acting as” (impersonation) occurred via the emergence of pantomime and its narrative depiction of the actions of other people. …”

THE NUMBER OF HOMOLOGS OF SOME ENZYMES IN THE TRYPTOPHAN BIOSYNTHESIS PATHWAY CORRELATES WITH THE PROPORTION OF PROTEINS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSCRIPTION IN PLANTS by I. I. Turnaev, I. R. Akberdin, V. V. Suslov, D. A. Afonnikov

“…We suggest that such a relationship arises because both organismal complexity and the increasing number of paralogs may be important for the evolutionary adaptation of land plants to variable environmental conditions.…”

Phylogenomics and a new classification of the tropical genus Heliconia L. (Monocots, Zingiberales, Heliconiaceae) by W. John Kress, Tomáš Fér, Mónica M. Carlsen

“…In this paper we used tissue sampled from field and herbarium collections of 136 species for genomic sequencing to determine the phylogenetic patterns within Heliconia, which then served as the basis for a new evolutionary classification of the genus. This new classification, which is based on extensive field work and the phylogenomic insights provided here, includes 187 currently recognized species. …”

African indigenous knowledge (AIK) for environmental management and sustainable development: the role of Yoruba epistemology by Olawale R. Olaopa

“…A qualitative research approach which literarily explores the evolutionary origins of IK was employed. This is done within the framework of African traditions and value systems to provide a strategy for mainstreaming IK in disaster management. …”

W poszukiwaniu „brakującego ogniwa” by Jacek Tomczyk

“…In 1890/91 Dubois had found already ancient fossils in Java which classified as Pithecanthropidae - this new family was an evolutionary "bridge" between apes and man. However, despite the fact that anthropologists wanted to find a “missing link” they rejected those interpretations! …”

Anti-correlation of LacI association and dissociation rates observed in living cells by Vinodh Kandavalli, Spartak Zikrin, Johan Elf, Daniel Jones

“…These results contradict the long-standing hypothesis that TF binding site strength is primarily dictated by the dissociation rate, but may confer the evolutionary advantage that TFs do not get stuck in near-operator sequences while searching.…”

Phase Change Memory: A Review on Electrical Behavior and Use in Analog In‐Memory‐Computing (A‐IMC) Applications by Mattia Boniardi, Matteo Baldo, Mario Allegra, Andrea Redaelli

“…The way data is bussed and processed needs disruptive innovation, rather than an evolutionary approach, too. In Analog In‐Memory Computing (A‐IMC) the typical properties of resistance‐based memory technologies are used to both store and compute information. …”

Optimal Pattern Synthesis of Linear Antenna Array Using Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm by Prerna Saxena, Ashwin Kothari

“…Various examples are presented that illustrate the application of GWO for linear array optimization and, subsequently, the results are validated by benchmarking with results obtained using other state-of-the-art nature-inspired evolutionary algorithms. The results suggest that optimization of linear antenna arrays using GWO provides considerable enhancements compared to the uniform array and the synthesis obtained from other optimization techniques.…”

Research on the Collaborative Application of BIM in EPC Projects: The Perspective of Cooperation between Owners and General Contractors by Chengshuang Sun, Min Wang, Fengyong Zhai

“…This study investigates the underlying logic of the collaboration application of BIM by analyzing the dynamic behaviors of owners and general contractors based on evolutionary game model. The results show that the most effective suggestions to promote the BIM collaboration application in EPC projects are “increasing the proportion of BIM application initially strategies,” “increasing incremental revenue of BIM collaborative application,” “reducing costs of BIM collaboration application,” “avoiding excessive hitchhiking,” and “establishing reasonable reward and punishment mechanism.” …”
