Evo-lución: The Economic Situation of Evo Morales’ Bolivia Under Scrutiny

The evo-devo comet.

In his inspiring book Ontogeny and Phylogeny (1977), the late Stephen J. Gould explained why develop mental biology and evolution, two essential domains of the life sciences, had diverged during the course of the twentieth century; both disciplines had to reach independently a platform of mutual understanding, a theoretical framework wherein concepts are understood and accepted by both parties....

Evo-devo discovers morphology

constructive points. A critical examination is made of FA’s strength and weaknesses in comparison with other biomarkers, and ways to improve FA as a bio-indicator are suggested. As a whole, Developmental Instability is a mature and balanced compilation of an important subject in biology, which is, after all, about half a century old. Michal Polak has managed to combine excellent contributions o...

Speaker Adaptation Using Evo Transfor

This paper presents a technique to adapt HMMs to new speakers by using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in unsupervised mode. The implementation requirements of GAs, such as genetic operators and objective function, have been chosen in order to give more reliability to a global linear transformation matrix. By implementing a ‘survival of the fittest’ strategy, the proposed GA-MLLR approach allows to ma...
