This article explores the interface between evolutionary thought, cognitive science, and music theory. It focuses on how patterns hypothesized to function as memes in music are encoded neurobiologically, using ideas developed by the American theoretical neurophysiologist William Calvin. After recapitulating the precepts and predictions of Universal Darwinism and meme theory as to what might con...

Individuals are able to effect massive online social change through the viral sharing of memes. Sharing is initially influenced by meme creators and secondarily by meme consumers, whose individual sharing decisions accumulate to determine total meme sharing. By investigating meme creation as a separate process from meme sharing, we hope to create an account of online sharing that includes featu...

Abstract Mathematical Internet memes are examples of how the creative thrust characterising Web 2.0 environment reaches field mathematics, translating mathematical statements into a new digital form endowed with an epistemic potential that is capable initiating process argumentation. The research presented in this paper aims to shed light on memes, contributing building body knowledge that, pro...

there is no functional annotation for the majority of the several hundreds of receptor-like kinases in plants. a direct way of inferring the function of these proteins is to study the phenotype that results from loss of function mutants such as t-dna mutant lines. in this research a function (phenotype) to at2g37050 gene that encodes a receptor like kinase in arabidopsis t-dna line was assigned...

background: streptokinase is a bacterial protein produced by different beta hemolytic streptococci and widely used in thrombolytic treatment. the main disadvantage of using streptokinase is antibody formation which causes allergic reaction to neutralize effects of streptokinase therapy. aim of this study was investigate of recombinant mutant streptokinase fibrinolytic activity. m aterials and m...

This paper reviews a number of recent approaches to put memetics to the test of quantitative measurability. The focus is on the selection criteria for the spreading of memes put forward by Heylighen (1997), which include utility, novelty, simplicity, coherence, authority and proselytism. The general hypothesis is that memes scoring higher on these criteria will survive longer and be more preval...
