DISCONNECT OVER GENERATIONS. “A unique feature of our results is that the inferred pigmentation patterns of ancestors may be quite different from the patterns of their descendants.” https://lnkd.in/dwfZQzE View in LinkedIn
SHELL PATTERNINGS. “Our analyses have allowed us to estimate the shell pigmentation patterns of ancestral species, identify lineages in which one or more parameters have evolved rapidly, and measure the degree to which different parameters correlate with the phylogeny.” https://lnkd.in/dwfZQzE View in LinkedIn
GRADUAL PHYLOGENY. “The model parameters fitted to observed patterns show a substantial phylogenetic signal, indicating that the processes governing evolutionary change in shell patterns are, to some extent, gradual across the phylogeny.” https://lnkd.in/dwfZQzE View in LinkedIn
NEURAL PATTERNING. “We have taken a step in applying modern phylogenetic methods to understanding the development of complex phenotypic characters. The pigmentation patterns of Conus shells can be generated by a neural-network model that has a sound anatomical and physiological basis.” https://lnkd.in/dwfZQzE View in LinkedIn
ENERGY INPUT. “As all magnetospheric activity is powered by energy input from the solar wind, detailed understanding of the energy transfer processes and mechanisms is a key challenge for space weather applications.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
MAGNETIC SCULPTING OF THE COSMOS. “The tail radius and flaring angle (deviation from a cylindrical shape) are to some extent controlled by the interplanetary magnetic field direction, which controls the intensity of reconnection at the nose of the magnetosphere.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
BEYOND COMPUTATION. “There has recently been proposed a limit on the computational power of the universe, i.e. the ability of Laplace's demon to process an infinite amount of information. The limit is based on the maximum entropy of the universe, the speed of light, and the minimum amount of time taken to move information across the Planck length, and the figure was shown to be about 10(120) bits. Accordingly, anything that requires more than this amount of data cannot be computed in the amount of time that has elapsed so far in the universe.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace%27s_demon View in LinkedIn
MAGNETOSPHERE SIZE. “The size and shape of the magnetosphere is controlled by the interaction of the interplanetary magnetic field and solar wind flow with the internal geomagnetic field and the magnetospheric plasma environment. The size is largely controlled by the solar wind dynamic pressure, which is balanced by the magnetic pressure inside the magnetosphere.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
