There were several results: an elaborate and formal system of titles was substituted for the personal names of the Julio-Claudian emperors; there was an increasing tendency to insist on the inherent prerogatives of the principate (such as the censorial power); and there was an attempt to invest Caesarism with a hereditary character, either by natural descent or by adoption.
Because of the natural descent of the cemeteries location on the western side of the Palisades, ground water flows into the surrounding marshes in Secaucus, and contamination of wells, springs, and water-courses in the surrounding area is very low.
He was confident about staking a claim to natural selection; descent with modification, however — the theory that, in contradiction of biblical literalism, species changed over time (and that Earth was old enough to allow for this) — was another matter entirely.
Natural gradient descent and fast fixed-point iteration are two frequently used optimization methods in IVA.
The general natural gradient descent can be validly applied to determined algorithms (m=n) only.
In approaching ethics "exclusively from the side of natural history" (Descent 1981, 71), he offered some innovations that do not easily map on to standard ethical positions formulated around the familiar categories of Utilitarianism and the Kantian heritage of Deontology.
Not only does the cr mutation induce effects that are "entirely one way or entirely the other" at the phenotypic level, however; the manner in which its presence determines the crest in rock pigeon varieties undermines another tenet of the theory of natural selection: "descent with modification".
By the 12th grade, students are expected to understand the role of genes and mutation in evolution, evidence for evolution, natural selection, speciation, descent from common ancestry, and evolutionary relationships.
In science, one explains effects by citing causes, and that is exactly what is going on when one explains biological patterns in terms of common descent, natural selection, or some other from the suite of causes that are part of evolutionary theory.
Because relatives share common genes by descent, natural selection can favor genes that enable individuals to help their relatives to reproduce successfully (e.g., Hamilton 1964).
Common descent and natural selection are carefully distinguished, with natural selection explained with a droll fictional example: 'the Skörg™ (Animalis fictionalis)'.
