چکیده
Common to all life on Earth are the mechanisms of geneticencoding, in which specific trinucleotide sequences in DNAand RNAmap to specific amino acids in synthesized proteins.This thesis project investigates feasible models of the evolu-tion of genetic encoding from an initially random populationof genes and proteins. Discrete simulations on the order of1010 event steps demonstrate self-organisation to apparent at-tractor states. This paper presents new results using a smallgene coding model that appears to find an attractor state usingpurely stochastic processes beginning from a random statewith no preferred genetic coding system. The focus of the re-search is on developing an abstract framework that does notdepend on explicit molecular details while demonstrating aplausible mechanism of self-organisation and persistence.

متن کاملSurviving Grounded Theory Research Method in an Academic World: Proposal Writing and Theoretical Frameworks
Grounded theory research students are frequently faced with the challenge of writing a research proposal and using a theoretical framework as part of the academic requirements for a degree programme. Drawing from personal experiences of two PhD graduates who used classic grounded theory in two different universities, this paper highlights key lessons learnt which may help future students who ar...

To determine the importance of academic and research success during medical school upon subsequent academic activity, a computerized literature search was performed using the names of the 79 surviving members of the Yale Medical School Class of 1970. Individuals elected to Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) during the third year of school had significantly more publications (mean 101.7 +/- 69.6) between 1...

Prognostic evaluation of bispectral index in patients following cardiopulmonary resuscitation
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of patients following cardiopulmonary resuscitation in an intensive care unit (ICU) using bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. The study was a prospective comparative study performed at the academic department of an ICU. A total of 33 adults who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation were enrolled and divided into the surviving and non-surviving...
