Many artists' names and logos are playful derivations of existing, well-established brands; a Deadmau5 loss could provide precedent for future legal action against many others.
The implicit promise of Zavarzadeh's derivation was that the four-dimensionality of existing polar spectra -- that is, the figurative or literal height, width, depth, and temporal progression of tactile sociocultural phenomena like racism, sexism, antisemitism, and homophobia -- could be expanded into a fifth dimension with two (or more) contiguous realities.
The scope of FERUS includes not only modification of existing specifications, but also creation or derivation of new specifications, as well as their proof and execution, which are realized through inter-operability with existing tools.
Another approach to mining molecular markers, involving in silico methods, has also been successful; examples include the derivation of markers from a draft genome [ 12] and the mining of existing expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries [ 13].
However, the genetic diversity of existing AIL and HS populations is limited due to their derivation from common laboratory strains (Roberts et al. 2007).
For risk assessment using acute-to-chronic extrapolation, the inclusion of a protective extrapolation factor is required and analysis of existing acute and chronic effect values is a prerequisite for the derivation of an adequate assessment factor.
A number of existing methods for sparse and smooth CCA have used the description provided above of CCA and focused on the use of the cross matrix C xy for the derivation of new CCA variant algorithms [7, 10 12].
First we offer an account of the creation of artificial life that distinguishes this from the derivation of organisms from existing life and clarify what we mean in asking whether the creation of artificial life has moral significance.
We argue that all three attempts to ground the moral significance of the creation of artificial life fail, because none of them establishes that the creation of artificial life is morally problematic in a way that the derivation of organisms from existing life forms is not.
Despite recognition that an effective process could alleviate many of the difficulties associated with product derivation, existing approaches have different scope, emphasise different aspects of the derivation process and are frequently too specialised to serve as a general solution.
