From Belief to Facts in Evolutionary Theory
Initiated by Charles Darwin’s famous book On the Origin of Species the theory of biological evolution originated in the middle of the nineteenth century and was enthusiastically accepted by a great number of scientists but at the same time instantaneously confronted with strong opposition by the Church and other parts of the scientifi c community. Religious people saw a fundamental confl ict be...
متن کاملSome Facts from Number Theory
m qn r , and 0 r < jnj. Not surprisingly, q is the quotient and r is the remainder when m is divided by n.1 We say that n divides m, or n is a divisor of m, when the remainder is zero. The notation n jm is used to signify that n divides m. An integer p is a prime number if 1 < jpj and the only divisors of p are 1 and p. We write a b mod n if b a is divisible by n.2 This notion, called cong...
متن کاملDNA dinucleotide evolution in humans: fitting theory to facts.
We examine length distributions of approximately 6000 human dinucleotide microsatellite loci, representing chromosomes 1-22, from the GDB database. Under the stepwise mutation model, results from theory and simulation are compared with the empirical data. In both constant and expanding population scenarios, a simple single-step model with parameters chosen to account for the observed variance o...
متن کاملDegeneracy, as opposed to specificity, in immunotherapy.
While it could be argued that Jenner, with his discovery of vaccination, ushered in the field of immunotherapy, manipulation of the human immune system to treat inflammatory diseases is only now coming of age. The mechanism behind immune specificity, the basic premise of vaccination, was largely solved with appreciation of how the MHC presents antigen, and with crystallization of the MHC/T cell...
متن کاملSynthesis, as Opposed to Separation, of Variables
Every applied mathematician has used separation of variables. For a given boundary value problem (BVP) in two dimensions, the starting point of this powerful method is the separation of the given PDE into two ODEs. If the spectral analysis of either of these ODEs yields an appropriate transform pair, i.e., a transform consistent with the given boundary conditions, then the given BVP can be redu...
