Morphology, phylogeny, and evolutionary development in the weevils (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
… understanding of rostrum structure prior to developmental studies examining its formation, a comparative study also was conducted of rostrum structure throughout Curculionoidea through examination of semi-thin sections. The weevil rostrum, for example, is a key evolutionary innovation that …

THE EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT OF CROWN GALLOANSERAE SKULLS: TRACKING CHANGES IN GALLIFORM AND ANSERIFORM CRANIAL DEVELOPMENT
… in a wide range of niches throughout their evolutionary history. Understanding the origins of disparity remains one of the major goals of evolutionary biology. Of the variety of approaches that can be used in understanding the origins of adult cranial disparity, the evolutionary …

Řízení robotů s vizuálním vnímáním
The goal of this thesis is the concept of the evolutionary development of the front-end camera input filtering for the mobile robot. Controlling mobile robot with the camera input is a generally hard task because it offers too much information and is inpractical to process them directly. It is …

The Creation of Metropolitan Amazonia: Genetic Consequences of Migration and Urbanization
… is critical to informing the following: (1) our evolutionary development, historical interactions, and prior movements, (2) the relationship between genetic diversity and the evolutionary forces of gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection, and (3) human migratory and mating behavior.

Experiencing Sustainable Architecture
… affinity for the natural world because of our evolutionary development. In order to properly apply biophilic design, it is necessary to study and understand what it is about specific elements in nature that creates a sense of pleasure and well being. Nature is rich with sensual features, and …

A study of the design and construction of buildings in the Pombaline quarter of Lisbon
… of the old city are described and its historical development within Portugal. The results and consequences of the 1755 earthquake are outlined, and the subsequent process of reconstruction is described. All immediate measures, decrees, and proposals for the reconstruction of the city, plus Manuel …

You Didn’t Have To Be There: Evidence of Humour in the Creation and Use of Material Objects From the Near East, Eastern Europe and Mediterranean, From the Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age
… indeed humour may have preceded language in our evolutionary development and has been seen in primates. Such longevity of humour suggests it would have been found in pre-literate societies, such as in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern; areas where the …

Cyanogenesis and the feeding preference of Acraea horta (L.) (Lepidoptera : Acraeinae)
… the early stages of man's cultural, and probably evolutionary, development (e.g. Leopold and Ardrey, 1972). Until recently, however, the biological role of this large group of compounds has remained largely obscure, with many plant physiologists regarding them as waste products and of no possible …

Understanding Multi-State, Stakeholder Directed, Corridor Coalition Building: An Interstate-81 Case Study
… have been described by some as a model for the development of public-private partnerships to help finance and manage corridor wide traffic flow programs and construction projects (Vega & Penn, 2008). Others have suggested corridor coalitions could also be effective tools for the development of …

Algorithmic Optimization of Sensor Placement on Civil Structures for Fault Detection and Isolation
… communication and high bandwidth have enabled evolutionary development in structural health monitoring. Structural health monitoring (SHM), in its infancy, meant implementation of a suite of instruments and a data acquisition system. The data acquisition system sampled less data and required …

"It is written": representations of determinism in contemporary popular science writing and contemporary British fiction
… the modern biological synthesis (genetics and evolutionary theory) – in two genres of writing – popular science writing and narrative fiction. Specifically, I consider the representations of determinism in recent works by a number of writers from both genres, concentrating on the literary …
