Evolve : a preliminary multicore architecture for Introspective Computing
… for the Partner Cores framework that we dub Evolve. Evolve provides a versatile substrate upon which software may coordinate core partnerships and various forms of parallelism. To do so, Evolve augments a basic tiled architecture with introspection hardware and programmable functional units. …

Optimal design of systems that evolve over time using neural networks
… optimization algorithm to assess designs that evolve over time. A small sensor network design is evolved into a larger sensor network design. Optimal design solutions for the small network do not necessarily lead to optimal design solutions for the larger network. Systems that are …

MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEINS IN FOOD MATRICES: HOW THEIR STRUCTURE EVOLVE FROM RAW MATERIALS TO FINISHED PRODUCTS
Proteins have a fundamental importance for their peculiar chemical characteristic, implication in metabolism and structure for all living organisms. In food systems, proteins provide both nutritional and non-nutritional functionalities and, with other macromolecules, contribute in define the …

Repositioning speech language pathology practices: engaging with family and community narratives to evolve communication supports for neurodivergent children
… engage with families and communities in order to evolve communication supports for neurodivergent children with the focus on community practice, inclusion and belonging. Additionally, story telling was used as the vehicle for learning. These stories were further explored in the context of South …

How did the Human Brain Evolve? Tracking Cerebral Changes in the Fossil Hominin Record Using Advanced Imaging Techniques and 3D Modelling
Understanding the evolution of the hominin brain is critical for reconstructing the emergence of human cognitive abilities. However, given the lack of direct fossilised brain tissue, palaeoneurological studies rely on cranial endocasts, replicas of the internal surface of the braincase, to infer …

D-work innovation : where, when and in which social context do good ideas evolve in the distributed work environment of knowledge workers?
The nature of work is changing. Until recently, the majority of people worked in fixed, team-based collaborations in collocated settings for fixed periods of time. Currently we are experiencing a major shift towards distributed work. D-work is multi-tasking (workers participate in many projects and …

Does culture evolve?: testing evolutionary theories of culture through a case study of El Khiam points from three sites in the Pre Pottery Neolithic A of the Southern Levant
… addresses the question of whether human culture evolves. Evolutionary approaches to understanding culture are introduced, synthesised and challenges considered to provide context and focus to the thesis. Cultural evolution theories have been used to explain much of human complexity, but they …

Evolution of a Nation after a Dictatorship: How Law, Politics and Society of the 1973 Dictatorship in Uruguay and of the Subsequent Return of Democracy in 1985, Potentially Helped Evolve the Nation of Today.
<p>In 1973, Uruguay’s president authored a coup d’état with the military and changed the history and fabric of Uruguay. Once democracy returned to Uruguay in 1985, it was a chance to see if an evolution of the law, politics and society would occur. This thesis aims to analyze and understand the …

Studies of the Structure and Evolution of the Intracluster Medium
Finally, we examine how scaling relations evolve with redshift using a 70 cluster sample over the redshift range 0.18 < z < 1.24. We show that X-ray luminosity and ICM mass evolve more slowly toward higher redshifts than is predicted by self-similar models of cluster formation. Effects of core …

Effects of hardware and soft features on the performance evolution of low-carbon technologies
… non-physical features of low-carbon technologies evolve and influence performance evolution. This fundamental question about the role of hardware- and non-hardware ('soft') innovations in technological progress remains largely unanswered despite the societal importance of improved technology. …

Between Hull and a Hard Core: Varying Patterns in the Evolution of the Darwinian Research Tradition
… by their nature as historical entities which evolve. If they evolve as biological species do, Hull argues, then they cannot have an "essence" — a set of tenets that all and only instances of the conceptual system has throughout all time. There are no tenets a scientific research program must …

Statistical Image Analysis for Image Evolution
… is focused on using genetic programming to evolve images based on lightweight features extracted from a given target image. The main motivation of this thesis is research by Lombardi et al. in which an image retrieval system is developed based on lightweight statistical features of images …

The gas content of luminous compact blue galaxies in the COSMOS field
… lower redshifts. As a set of galaxies that evolve quickly, they make excellent candidates for studying galactic evolution as a whole. In order to understand how galaxies evolve, we make use of LCBGs to study their gas content as it changes over approximately nine billion years of lookback …
