Non-random random mutations: a signature of evolution of evolution (EVOEVO)

چکیده

What has evolved in the ca 3.5 billion years of biological evolution on earth? A first answer which may spring to mind is your favorite organism, be it elephant, fly, slime mold, microbe or man. Other answers might be the stunning apparent diversity of lifeforms, or the greatly enhanced energy cycling at the earth surface. Or all this may be simplified to characterizing what has evolved as ’complexity’. The latter answer is often pursued within artificial life and is indeed possibly the easiest to study because the most abstract and least well defined, but certainly not trivial as the basic mechanism of Darwinian evolution leads to adaptation but not necessarily to complexity.

Optimum Pareto design of vehicle vibration model excited by non-stationary random road using multi-objective differential evolution algorithm with dynamically adaptable mutation factor

In this paper, a new version of multi-objective differential evolution with dynamically adaptable mutation factor is used for Pareto optimization of a 5-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model excited by non-stationary random road profile. In this way, non-dominated sorting algorithm and crowding distance criterion have been combined to differential evolution with fuzzified mutation in order ...

Non-linear stochastic inversion of 2D gravity data using evolution strategy (ES)

In the current work, a 2D non-linear inverse problem of gravity data is solved using the evolution strategies (ES) to find the thickness of a sedimentary layer in a deep-water situation where a thick sedimentary layer usually exists. Such problems are widely encountered in the early stages of petroleum explorations where potential field data are used to find an initial estimate of the basin geo...

Towards a Integrated Evolutionary Model to Study Evolution of Evolution

Variation and Selection are the two core processes of Darwinian Evolution. Yet, both are directly regulated by many processes that are themselves products of evolution. Microorganisms efficiently exploit this ability to dynamically adapt to new conditions. Thus, evolution seems to have optimised their own ability to evolve, as a primary mean to react to environmental changes. We call this proce...

Effect of random telegraph noise on entanglement and nonlocality of a qubit-qutrit system

We study the evolution of entanglement and nonlocality of a non-interacting qubit-qutrit system under the effect of random telegraph noise (RTN) in independent and common environments in Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. We investigate the dynamics of qubit-qutrit system for different initial states. These systems could be existed in far astronomical objects. A monotone decay of the nonlocalit...

Evolution of texture in an ultrafine and nano grained magnesium alloy

The evolution of texture was discussed during the formation of ultra-fine and nano grains in a magnesium alloy severely deformed through accumulative back extrusion (ABE). The microstructure and texture obtained after applying multiple deformation passes at temperatures of 100 and 250°C were characterized. The results showed that after single ABE pass at 100°C an ultrafine/nano grained microstr...
