Curiously, Harper's quotation omits the final sentence of Brooks's statement: "My newish voice will not be an imitation of the contemporary young black voice, which I [End Page 531] so admire, but an extending adaptation of today's G.B. voice" (RPO 183).
The principle of adaptive improvisation therefore extends adaptation by natural selection to temporal and organizational scales within single individuals.
Comparing the extended-adaptation Drosophila with their matched controls has allowed useful physiological and genetic analysis of the mechanistic basis of extending adaptation [ 27].
Although a decrease in mitochondrial respiration might be important for cell adaptation, an extended reduction of respiration leads to excessive ROS formation.
Subsequent adaptations extended it to large sets of promoters or other genomic regions by using microarrays (ChIP-on-Chip/ChIP-Chip) (Ren et al. 2000; Iyer et al. 2001; Lieb et al. 2001; Horak and Snyder 2002; Weinmann et al. 2002).
While active sensing rapidly samples different aspects of the physical world, adaptation paradigms force extended processing of a single aspect of the physical world (for adaptation with brief durations see ref. 22).
First of all, consistent environmental differences may exist between major European river basins, and trout populations may have evolved drainage-specific adaptations during extended periods of allopatric divergence.
Here we extend our studies on adaptation of B. pertussis using comparative genomics.
This perspective outlines an interdisciplinary approach to extend our knowledge on adaptation of human locomotion to a hypogravity environment, including biomechanical, neurophysiological, and comparative aspects, effective exercise countermeasures for astronauts, and even exobiology of new forms of locomotion on different planets.
The effect of the pre-cultivation time was also evaluated by extending the adaptation duration in the presence of 6 g L−1 acetic acid from 8 h, where cells have just arrested exponential growth, to 12 h, at the end of the growth phase on glucose.
