The phrase "adaptive drive" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to technology, psychology, or biology, where adaptability and motivation are discussed.
Example: "The adaptive drive of the software allows it to learn from user interactions and improve its performance over time."
Alternatives: "adaptive motivation" or "flexible drive".
The latter may be particularly relevant to the etiology of the contemporary obesity epidemic in which the evolutionarily adaptive drive to consume energy-dense foods becomes maladaptive in the setting of abundance.
The results obtained here do not demonstrate an adaptive drive of mtDNA reticulation (suggested e.g., by Alves et al. 2008; Melo-Ferreira et al. 2011) but show that positive selection may have punctuated the evolution of mtDNA, most notably in the lineages of species thriving in arctic regions, eventually by adaptation to cold as suggested in other species (Fontanillas et al. 2005).
To try to reclaim some of what I had lost, I met with John Holcomb, a certified driving instructor with Adaptive Driving Program Inc. of Dedham, Mass., and began considering some hitherto unknown alternatives: hand controls, a "spinner knob," " training protocol," "certification procedures" and "license amendment".
Given the extremely complex nature of cellular signal transduction networks in spatio-temporal dimensions, any observed effect could be secondary, adaptive, driven by negative or positive feedback-loops and thus far beyond the initial and primary cellular response to altered gravity.
Adaptive divergence, driven by local adaptation to heterogeneous environments, has long been a fascinating topic in ecology and evolutionary biology [ 1].
An on-line adaptive data-driven prognostics strategy is proposed with five various optimized on-line prediction algorithms based on Online SVR.
Given that stasis is the norm in the mammalian fossil record, our results suggest that large shifts in the adaptive landscape drove hominin evolution.
Our future work will focus on the adaptive scheme driven by the measured signal quality in the receiver.
These findings reveal viral properties associated with mucosal HIV-1 transmission and a limited set of rapidly evolving adaptive mutations driven primarily, but not exclusively, by early cytotoxic T cell responses.
Further on, since complex networks are often dynamically adaptive systems, driven both by their inner structure and their environmental constraints, the role that dynamic evolution, fluctuations and adaptability may play will most surely also be fundamental to understand their behavior.
In a synthetic bistable gene switch in Escherichia coli in which mutually inhibitory operons govern the expression of two genes required in two alternative nutritional environments, cells reliably selected the "adaptive attractor" driven by gene expression noise.
