Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Plants are autotrophs and sessile while animals are heterotrophs and motile. Sessility has imposed on plants 94% hermaphroditism 23% selfing 3% polyploidization and 39% clonality in comparison to < 5% herma-phroditism < 1% selfing and 2% clonality in motile animals. Whereas plants consist of 374 000 species but 1 664 variety/species animals comprise 1 543 196 species and 210 variety/species. Hence plants have undergone variety diversity while animals have species diversity. In animals and plants the species ratio is reduced from 4. 1 animals : 1. 0 plant to 1. 4 for pollinating animals : 1. 0 pollinated plants. In pollination animals are benefited dietarily but plants are cross pollinated generating new gene combinations – the raw material for evolution and speciation. For the reduced species diversity in plants reasons are traced to 90% hermaphroditism ~ 23% selfing and 39% clonality. Clonality decreases from 100% in 6-7 tissue typed sponges and 3 tissue typed algae drastically to 0. 7% in 60 tissue typed worms but gradually to ~ 23% in 60 tissued typed angiosperms. About 12-15 5-8 and 77-80% of all animal and plant species are distributed in marine freshwater and terrestrial habitats respectively. Animals have conserved the ‘right’ sequence of gametogenesis but plants have gone through a ‘wrong’ sequence prior to settling with right one albeit with double fertilization in angiosperms. Both animals and plants are 80% male heterogametics. Only 0. 5% of them can afford semelparity. While 20 and 57% angiosperms are perennial trees and herbs annual herbs make up 23% only. In all of them 85 > 19 and < 1% are pollinated by fast flying animals wind and water respectively. Increasing pollen load enhances fruit- and seed-set. In contrast to animals the life cycle of plants is direct but complicated. Unlike animals plants have greatly contributed to weathering of rocks and the atmospheric gas composition during the geological past. From dormant spores and seeds of plants life can be restored after thousands of years. | Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Optimization in Industry Volume 1 Optimization Techniques

Optimization in Industry Volume 1 Optimization Techniques

As optimization techniques have developed a gap has arisen between the people devising the methods and the people who actually need to use them. Research into methods is necessarily long-term and located usually in academic establishments; whereas the application of an optimization technique normally in an industrial environment has to be justified financially in the short term. The gap is probably inevitable; but there is no need for textbooks to reflect it. Teaching of optimization techniques separately from their connection with applications is pointless. This book gives a detailed exposition of the techniques. In this first volume T. A. J. Nicholson demonstrates the full range of techniques available to the practitioner for the solution of varying problems. For each technique the background reasoning behind its development is explained in simple terms; where helpful it is supported by a geometrical argument; and the iterative algorithm for finding the optimum is defined clearly. These steps enable the reader not only to see plainly what is happening in the method but also to reach a level of understanding necessary to write computer programs for optimization techniques. Problems are tackled in the same way-by searching a feasible region for an optimum. This approach helps the reader to develop the most essential of all skills-selecting appropriate techniques for different circumstances. The numerous worked examples in the text supported by worked solutions and the exercises at the end of the chapters are important aids to learning and to teachers. This book serves as an introduction to optimization techniques for students as well as a reference work for the practitioner in business and industry. | Optimization in Industry Volume 1 Optimization Techniques

Learning as Interactivity Movement Growth and Becoming Volume 1 Ecologies of Learning in Higher Education

The two inter-linked volumes in this series are dedicated to the development of analysis and theorisation of learning and teaching in higher education. The two volumes focus on the multi-scalar ecological inter-connectedness of learners with teachers with artefacts with cultural patterns and resources with places with social activities and practices with social institutions with time and temporality and with technologies. Learning reflects inter-individual dynamics that are shaped by biology and culture. Against prevailing orthodoxies that view learning in higher education in terms of information transmission and content delivery the contributors articulate leading developments in distributed cognition distributed language ecological psychology enactivist and embodied-embedded cognitive science interactivity and multimodal event analysis. They also extend several earlier traditions such as American pragmatism embodied curriculum theory and Vygotsky's latter day anti-dualist Spinozan turn. Through detailed empirical analysis of in vivo episodes of learning using multimodal event analysis cognitive event analysis and cutting-edge theory the authors show how and why learning is not adequately explainable as internal mental processes per se. Instead sophisticated empirical analysis and innovative theory are put to work to reveal the emergence of learning in the interactivity of learners and teachers with the affordances of a distributed brain-body-environment learning system. Volume 1 is an edited collection of seven chapters written by internationally renowned researchers together with an Introduction and an Afterword written by King and Thibault. Volume 1 (and its successor Volume 2) will serve as valuable reading for educationalists and researchers in the cognitive communication learning and language sciences who are looking for new multidimensional tools for thinking about and new empirical tools for analysing learning and teaching as multi-scalar interactive processes in radical embodied ecologies of learning and teaching. | Learning as Interactivity Movement Growth and Becoming Volume 1 Ecologies of Learning in Higher Education

The Condition of Democracy Volumes 1 2 3

The Condition of Democracy Volumes 1 2 3

Recent years have seen contestations of democracy all around the globe. Democracy is challenged as a political as well as a normative term and as a form of governance. Against the background of neoliberal transformation populist mobilization and xenophobic exclusion but also of radical and emancipatory democratic projects this collection offers a variety of critical and challenging perspectives on the condition of democracy in the 21st Century. The volumes provide theoretical and empirical enquiries into the meaning and practice of liberal democracy the erosion of democratic institutions and the consequences for citizenship and everyday lives. With a pronounced focus on national and transnational politics and processes as well as postcolonial and settler-colonial contexts individual contributions scrutinize the role of democratic societies ideals and ideologies of liberal democracy within global power geometries. By employing the multiple meanings of The Condition of Democracy the collection addresses the preconditions of democratic rule the state this form of governance is in and the changing ways in which citizens can (still) act as the sovereign in liberal democratic societies. The books offer both challenging theoretical perspectives and rigorous empirical findings of how to conceive of democracy in our times which will appeal to academics and students in social and political science economics and international relations amongst other fields. The focus on developments in the Middle East and North Africa will furthermore be of great usefulness to academics and the wider public interested in the repercussions of western democracy promotion as well as in contemporary struggles for democratization ‘from below’. | The Condition of Democracy Volumes 1 2 3

The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

This book invites a close textual encounter with the first 11 chapters of Genesis as an intimate drama of marginalised peoples wrestling with the rise of the world’s first grain states in the Mesopotamian alluvium. The initial 11 chapters of Genesis are often considered discordant and fragmentary despite being a story of beginnings within the context of the Bible. Readers discover how these formative chapters cohere as a cross-generational account of peoples grappling with the hegemonic spread of domesticated grain production and the concomitant rise of the pristine states of Mesopotamia. The book reveals how key episodes from the Genesis narrative reflect major societal revolutions of the Neolithic period in Mesopotamia through a three-fold hermeneutical method: literary analysis of the Bible and contemporary cuneiform texts; modern scholarship from archaeological anthropological ecological and historical sources; and relevant exegesis from the Second Temple and rabbinical era. These three strands entwine to recount a generally sequential story of the earliest archaic states as narrated by non-elites at the margins of these emerging state spaces. The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1–11 provides a fascinating reading of the first 11 chapters of Genesis appealing to students and scholars of the Hebrew Bible and the Near East as well as those working on ecological injustice from a religious vantage point. | The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11
