Scientific collaboration networks, as a prototype of complex evolving networks, are studied in many aspects of their structure and evolving characteristics.
In clinical practice, physicians make a series of treatment decisions over the course of a patient's disease based on his/her baseline and evolving characteristics.
The paper explores the future roles and development of innovation diplomacy as the outcome of interactions between the evolving characteristics of science, technology and innovation on the one hand and of international relations and foreign policies on the other.
The future of innovation diplomacy is the outcome of interactions between the evolving characteristics of STI on the one hand and of foreign relations and foreign policies on the other.
Dr Thornhill, meanwhile, has raised quite a few hackles by arguing that a propensity to rape is an evolved characteristic of men rather than a pathology.
It treated an organism's behavior as simply one more evolved characteristic alongside its skeleton and its digestive system.
On the assumption that phenomenal consciousness is an evolved characteristic of human minds, at least, and therefore that epiphenomenalism is false, then an attempt to understand the biological functions of consciousness may provide the best chance of identifying its occurrence in different species.
Different clades (anurans, diapsids, eutherians and marsupials) each have evolved characteristic timing relationships (see also Figure 2) that show no apparent correlation to the diverse lifestyles and adult morphologies of the species within each clade.
Most of the evolved characteristics comply with theoretical biology or field observations on natural plants.
In cladistics, newly evolved characteristics (synapomorphies) are prized for their ability to reflect the common ancestry of all the creatures who possess them, compared with those who do not.
The Species Recognition hypothesis [17] predicts that sympatric species should evolve characteristics that aid in distinguishing conspecifics from heterospecifics.
