What fish genomes can tell us about life on land
The earliest vertebrates all lived in the oceans, long before life conquered land. It is only natural, therefore, that genomes of fish species are important reference points for the understanding of evolution and development of land vertebrates. Recent results from a relatively close relative, the coelacanth, and a widely used model, the zebrafish, are particularly promising, as Michael Gross r...
متن کاملWhat Can the Life Cycle Model Tell Us About 401(k) Contributions and Participation?
This paper solves and simulates a stochastic life cycle model of an economy with 401(k) plans. We use the model to establish a benchmark for patterns of contributions and participation and show how these patterns depends on such features as employer matching, vesting policies, and the availability of plan loans. Consistent with empirical studies, the model predicts relatively low participation ...
متن کاملArtificial Life Needs a Real Epistemology 1. What Can Artificial Life Tell Us about Reality? 1. What Can Artificial Life Tell Us about Reality?
Foundational controversies in artificial life and artificial intelligence arise from lack of decidable criteria for defining the epistemic cuts that separate knowledge of reality from reality itself, the genetically coded synthesis of proteins. The highly evolved cognitive epistemology of physics requires an epistemic cut between reversible dynamic laws and the irreversible process of measuring...

15 صفحه اولWhat Vowels Can Tell Us about the Evolution of Music
Whether music and language evolved independently of each other or whether both evolved from a common precursor remains a hotly debated topic. We here emphasize the role of vowels in the language-music relationship, arguing for a shared heritage of music and speech. Vowels play a decisive role in generating the sound or sonority of syllables, the main vehicles for transporting prosodic informati...
