With the discovery of string theory, Mr. Greene writes, "musical metaphors take on a startling reality, for the theory suggests that the microscopic landscape is suffused with tiny strings whose vibrational patterns orchestrate the evolution of the cosmos.
This chapter explains how a platform owner can orchestrate the evolution of a platform.
The strategies for orchestrating the evolution of a platform ecosystem from a platform owner's perspective and the app developers' approach for managing their own work vary markedly depending on the platform's stage in its lifecycle.
Given the conservatism of body plan evolution in nematodes, these dramatic genetic differences suggest extensive, largely phenotypically "silent" changes in the genetic programmes orchestrating nematode development.
This developmental mechanism is combined with mechanisms temporarily lowering oxygen evolution and orchestrating energy-competing processes in a multifaceted fashion.
More generally, these data reveal that after WGD in the early evolution of vertebrates, paralogous genes encoding key transcriptional regulators maintained some shared roles yet also diverged functionally in evolution to orchestrate developmental complexity and robustness.
Cancer progression the evolution of malignant tumors towards metastatic dissemination is a complex, multistep process orchestrated by neoplastic cells but aided by elements of the tumor microenvironment such as macrophages, activated fibroblasts, and endothelial cells.
For years, oil and coal lobbies have orchestrated assaults on climate scientists, while the religious right continues to oppose the teaching of evolution in US schools, questioning the basic tenets of evolutionary biology.
Indeed, evolution is a continuum of processes, from genuinely random to those that are exquisitely orchestrated to ensure a specific response to a particular challenge.
With the advent of living forms during the course of evolution of the Universe following its inception, protoconscious events have become embodied or, as the authors put it, "orchestrated," within living forms by virtue of their particular cellular composition and construction, and now find their most developed expression in neuronal activity of animals.
