Theoretical foundations for quantitative paleogenetics

Theoretical Foundations of Paleogenetics

This paper presents mathematical reflections that were completed during the Spring of 1966 (Holmquist [9]). In light of increasing knowledge and interest in the evolutionary significance of the primary amino acid or nucleotide base sequences of homologous (see Section 3.2 for definitions) proteins or DNA's, both within and among various phylogenetic species, these calculations are given here in...

Theoretical Foundations

This chapter addresses the theoretical foundations for research in educational communications and technology. Four relevant areas are explored: (1) the psychology of learning, (2) communications theory, (3) human–computer interaction, and (4) instructional design and development. Past work in these four areas can be viewed as providing a theoretical foundation for further research and developme...

Theoretical Foundations for Belief Revision

Belief revision systems are AI programs that deal with contradictions. They work with a knowledge base, performing reasoning from the propositions in the knowledge base, "filtering" those propositions so that only part of the knowledge base is perceived the set of propositions that are under consideration. This set of propositions is called the set of believed propositions. Typically, belief re...

Information systems theoretical foundations

Some basic concepts concerning information systems are defined and investigated. With every information system a query language is associated and its syntax and semantics is formally defined. Some elementary properties of the query language are stated. The presented approach leads to a new information systems organization. The presented idea was implemented and the implementation shows many adv...
