One of the most important classical typologies within organizational learning literature is the distinction between adaptive and generative learning (Argyris and Shone 1978; Senge 1990).
Ultimately, protein expression studies and localization of changes to specific cellular populations will help provide the necessary distinction between adaptive and pathological changes.
Albeit the study in question was not explicitly designed for locating rare variants, it is an important distinction that the adaptive permutation procedure gave meaningful results across all SNPs regardless of genotyping frequencies and without the need to filter SNPs based on any violation of asymptotic assumptions.
Individual survival under such severe and abrupt disturbances may often be dictated by chance, more than adaptive trait variation, providing a distinction from the more subtle disturbances that have often characterized cases of contemporary evolution in the wild (Hendry et al. 2008).
This exciting discovery complicates conventional distinctions between innate and adaptive responses and undercuts assumptions about clonal escape from tolerizing mechanisms.
Von Andrian says the work has "called into question one of the fundamental paradigms of immunology --the dimmunology --theen the immunology --theive immune responses.
The entry concludes with a comparison between complex and complicated systems, drawing a distinction in the ways that adaptive and engineered systems achieve stability in the face of external perturbations.
A terminological distinction is made here between (i) adaptive capacity and (ii) coping capacity.
Although the differences between responsive and adaptive design are nuanced for the non-developer, the distinctions are increasingly important as publishers see more and more traffic come from mobile devices.
It is the task of the toxicologists to make the distinction between those effects that are within this adaptive range and effects that go beyond the boundaries of this space and thus can be called adverse".
