A traditional picture of evolutionary dynamics with constant fitness is that of genomes living in sequence space and adapting on fitness landscapes. Mutation rates are considered to be constant or externally regulated. If, however, we take into account that genomes also encode for enzymes that perform replication and error correction, then individual genomes not only have a specific replication...

To be competitive, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to transform their business models. overcome the liability of smallness, SMEs often collaborate with external partners—implement open innovation. The complex processes behind model transformation innovation combined remain unexplored. Linking literature on innovation, SMEs, we examine how models can a solution for SMEs. In partic...

Academic journals have been incorporating several elements of open science: access (since 2000), later, the deposit research data articles published, dissemination preprints before publication paper and, finally, peer review (OPR). While is well-established and inclusion increasingly widespread, OPR just at beginning its incorporation as a real alternative to double-blind model, which most wide...

The transferability of a visible and near-infrared (VNIR) model for soil organic matter (SOM) estimation in riparian landscapes is explored. The results indicate that for the soil samples with air-drying, grinding and 2-mm sieving pretreatment, the model calibrated from the soil sample set with mixed land-use types can be applied in the SOM prediction of cropland soil samples (r 2 Pre = 0.66, R...
