Examples of such discoveries include the heliocentric theory, Newtonian physics, the germ theory of disease, quantum theory, plate tectonics and the discovery that DNA carries genetic information. The science philosopher Thomas Kuhn famously described scienc...
متن کاملRevolutionary Algorithms
The optimization of dynamic problems is both widespread and difficult. When conducting dynamic optimization, a balance between reinitialization and computational expense has to be found. There are multiple approaches to this. In parallel genetic algorithms, multiple sub-populations concurrently try to optimize a potentially dynamic problem. But as the number of sub-population increases, their e...
متن کاملExtremism in revolutionary movements
A revolutionary entrepreneur strategically chooses the revolutionary agenda to maximize the likelihood of revolution. Citizens have different preferences and can contribute varying degrees of support. This presents the revolutionary entrepreneur with a tradeoff between extensive and intensive margins of support. We show: (1) Extremists exert a disproportionate influence over the revolutionary a...
متن کاملMicrobiology's scarred revolutionary.
Microbial biology is undergoing a renaissance, and in this special section we explore bursts of progress in areas ranging from how pathogens invade cells to the origins of life. News reports beginning on this page focus on the extremophiles--unusual microbes that flourish in harsh conditions--while the Articles that follow probe a broad range of topics, including plant-microbe interactions and ...
