Intellectual entrepreneurship in the present context includes the selection of ideas, notions and concepts from an extraneous culture for integration into standard or mainstream theory.
The second major environmentalist school, organizational ecology, builds on parallels with bioecology and evolution especially in its application of notions such as selection and adaptation to organizational change.
Supporting this notion, selection of one macromere as 3D in the pulmonate Lymnaea and the basal gastropod Patella depends on the presence of a first-quartet micromere belonging to the same quadrant [55].
The parallels of art and nature, the intentionality implied in the term "selection," the notion of "perfect" adaptation, and the substantive conception of "nature" as an agency working toward certain ends, all render Darwin's views on teleological purpose more complex than they are typically interpreted from the standpoint of contemporary Neo-selectionist theory (Lennox 1993).
The notion that the selection of justices is somehow "above" politics--a notion that Bush finds convenient--impoverishes debate and ultimately the rule of law itself.
Our findings further support the notion that the selection of the predicted microRNA targets relies on the rank (strength) of the target prediction scores (Table S1) and that the functional regulation relies on the level of microRNA expression in the cell and convergent, synergistic effects of multiple microRNAs on one target gene.
This in itself speaks against the notion of evolutionary selection of MIMs [ 2].
The notion of natural selection of cells carrying mutations that give a favourable survival advantage is now well established in cancer biology.
Gwilym Mumford Charles Darwin posited the theory of natural selection – the notion that, over millennia, Earth's thriving creatures adapt themselves to their environment.
Seen through this lens, the selection of portraits becomes, among other things, a study in changing notions of what looking good means.
