Evolution of Biological Complexity
To make a case for or against a trend in the evolution of complexity in biological evolution, complexity needs to be both rigorously defined and measurable. A recent information-theoretic (but intuitively evident) definition identifies genomic complexity with the amount of information a sequence stores about its environment. We investigate the evolution of genomic complexity in populations of d...
متن کاملBiological Evolution: Entropy, Complexity and Stability
In the present paper we have made an attempt to investigate the importance of the concepts of dynamical stability and complexity along with their interrelationship in an evolving biological systems described by a system of kinetic (both deterministic and chaotic) equations. The key to the investigation lies in the expression of a time-dependent Boltzmann-like entropy function derived from the d...
متن کاملEvolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe
Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.

بر اساس فرضیه شناخت رابینسون (2001 و 2003 و 2005) و مدل ظرفیت توجه محدود اسکهان (1998)، این تحقیق تاثیر پیچیدگی تکلیف را بر پیچیدگی واژگان و صحت گرامری نوشتار مباحثه ای 60 نفر از دانشجویان زبان انگلیسی بررسی کرد. میزان پیچیدگی تکلیف از طریق فاکتورهای پراکندگی-منابع تعیین شد. همه ی شرکت کنندگان به صورت نیمه تصادفی به یکی از سه گروه: (1) گروه موضوع، (2) گروه موضوع + اندیشه و (3) گروه موضوع + اندی...
15 صفحه اولMolecular biology and evolution. Can genes explain biological complexity?
Although natural selection does not guarantee that organisms will increase in complexity as they evolve, it is apparent that the complexity of certain lineages, such as our own, has increased during evolution. Although we have an intuitive appreciation of biological complexity--often thinking in terms of morphological or behavioral complexity, or the variety of cell types in an organism--the te...
