Sentence examples for mechanisms or modules from inspiring English sources

In brief, evolutionary psychologists maintain that there is an analogy between organs and psychological mechanisms or modules.

The basic idea is that psychological altruistic dispositions can evolve as proximate mechanisms or "modules" for promoting the biological advantages relevant to the forms of selection listed above.

Whereas there is incredible diversity of human behavior, many evolutionary psychologists postulate a smaller number of mechanisms or modules that are responsible for a range of behaviors.

One of the empirical objectives of the discipline is to discover and examine EPAs also known in the field's literature as mental mechanisms or modules (Barrett and Kurzban 2006)—in human nature (Schmitt and Pilcher 2004).

They see the mind as preprogrammed, made up of specialized mechanisms -- "modules" or "organs -- that predispose all human beings to think and act in certain ways, especially when it comes to basic endeavors like selecting a mate, fighting off sexual competitors or deciding what is safe to eat.

What genes are more prone to have a stronger influence on the dynamical behavior of the whole system, and thus the phenotype, when perturbed or coupled with other circuits, signaling mechanisms, or processes outside the GRN module?

Our predictive approach makes it possible to investigate to what degree regulatory mechanisms of modules inferred from Populus are conserved in other plant systems.

But even if this partly reflects evolved psychological mechanisms or 'modules' governing social sentiments and responses, much of it may also be the result of human intelligence grasping (under varying cultural conditions) genuine morally relevant distinctions or facts—such as the difference between the normative force that attends harm and that which attends mere violations of convention.

(i) Groups of tightly related traits that share the same transcripts mechanisms (modules 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, e.g., Figure 3).

Through the characterization of module content and topology, our approach identified biological mechanisms, modules, individual genes, and network concepts that likely play an important role in the regulation of BMD.

Thus, the predictive power of the regulatory mechanisms of most modules benefit significantly from including more than one transcription factor.
