What will you learn from this book? It's no secret the world around you is becoming more connected, more configurable, more programmable, more computational. You can remain a passive participant, or you can learn to code. With Head First Learn to Code you'll learn how to think c…
ReGen: Detroit will look to occupy a unique space between the delicate balance of old and new in the Motor City. American post-industrial cities, were once leveled and left vacant, act as the ideal design “tabula rasa” and architectural stage. The architect can project their own…
Human learning relies on interrelated implicit and explicit systems. Extensive evidence indicates that implicitly learned information can become consciously-accessible (i.e., explicit). According to a number of theoretical accounts of human learning, this occurs by way of intuit…
Diversification is primarily a function of two processes—speciation and adaptation—that shape the history and trajectory of evolutionary lineages. These processes are often interdependent and are shaped by biotic and abiotic factors including existing and evolvable genetic varia…
Typically, systems biology focuses on the form and function of networks of biochemical interactions. Questions inevitably arise as to the evolutionary origin of those networks' properties. Such questions are of interest to a growing number of systems biologists, and several grou…
The study of human cranial morphology has a long and contentious history. This study is the first large scale analysis of ecoregion specific human cranial modularity and integration. It utilizes an analysis of morphometric craniofacial variation and ecoregion affinity to better …
One of the most critical aspects of music in video games is that it is dynamic. This music--along with a game's visuals, events, and other audio--is flexible across gameplay, and its progression depends on various real-time factors, including the player's individual actions. For…
Proteins need to react quickly to constantly changing environments. Their ability to evolve new structures and functions is manifested in many of their physical and chemical traits. One such trait is the modular structure of proteins, which enables rapid rearrangements for the c…
This thesis advocates a modular and parallel grammar architecture with declarative constraints on the syntactic, semantic, prosodic, and pragmatic structures which are derived in parallel while mutually constraining one another as proposed by Jackendoff (1997, 2002). The main cl…
