This distortion measure, may be cell dependent, or time dependent, describing essential features of a cell, such as how does a cell estimate the state of its environment, how does it quantify alternative decisions, and how does it relate these decisions to the maximization of the fitness of the population [ 8].
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 12 — Drew Gilpin Faust, Harvard University's first female president, was inaugurated Friday and offered a spirited defense of American higher education against demands that it quantify what it is teaching and focus primarily on training a global work force.
He uses a combination of theoretical and empirical analysis to document the extent of equality of opportunity, understand when and why markets may fail to provide it, quantify the impact of these market failures, and provide tools to normatively evaluate potential policy solutions.
What states and properties does it quantify over, and what regularities does in postulate?
Not only does it quantify the relationship between genetic linkage and extinction rate, he says, but it also shows "the importance of the fossil record as evolution's time machine".
I simply love it when staid science furrows its brow, digs deep into the shallow gene pool that is the young, massively entitled, hormonally engorged, eternally baffled college-aged American animal, and attempts to examine his meager brain, draw out something resembling actual substance, evaluate it, quantify it and then claim it as some sort of valuable truism.
