Phylogeography of Oculina Corals and their Algal Symbionts: Insights into the Origin and Expansion of Oculina Patagonica in the Mediterranean
… many previous studies aimed at assessing the adaptive capabilities and long-term success of tropical corals, my dissertation focusses on the success and adaptive potential of an understudied temperate coral. The findings presented here support the knowledge that O. patagonica is able to …

Escherichia coli and Rhizobium leguminosarum response mechanisms to sub-lethal 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
… showed an oxidative stress response, but showed adaptive capabilities with changes to specific metabolic pathways and consequent changes to its phenotype, surface ultrastructure, and physical properties during 2,4-D exposure. Interestingly, auxin and 2,4-D, its structural analogue, induced common …

Postural control and adaptation to threats to balance stability
… vibrations. In healthy, young persons, a slow adaptive change was observed. This adaptation involved decreased costs of standing including decreased energy, body movement and muscle activity and changes to the relationship between muscle activity and movement. The characteristics of the …

Finding order in a contentious Internet
… are characteristically, and necessarily, adaptive: each comprises a unique consensus process, animated by a diverse set of nominal competitors, that creates and adapts function-specific rules and processes contributing to routing system integrity. Consensus processes evaluate the …

Sustainable Development: Implementation in Urban Water Systems
… It, therefore, refers to the goal of fostering adaptive capabilities to respond to changes while simultaneously creating opportunities for the next generation to find a variety of options to meet their needs. The thesis argues that sustainable development is a process in which the Viability …

Improving user modeling via the integration of learner characteristics and learner behaviors
… information for the objective of creating an adaptive learner model. Differences in interaction patterns with the learning environment were analyzed using ANNs and statistical analyses, to identify on-line learner behavioral variables that were valid and useful in updating the stereotype …
