* Calvin, William " Neural Darwinism: The Theory of Neuronal Group Selection ", Science, 24 June 1988, accessed April 16, 2007 ( a review of Gerald Edelman's book Neural Darwinism )

The first of Edelman's technical books, Neural Darwinism ( 1987 ) explores his theory of memory that is built around the idea of plasticity in the neural network in response to the environment.

Edelman's theory of neuronal group selection, also known as Neural Darwinism, has three basic tenets — Developmental Selection, Experiential Selection and Reentry.

He met with limited success, with three short stories published before 1988, in small press magazines, the most notable of which was Reveleven, published by Scott Edelman in Edelman's magazine Last Wave in 1986.

That month, Oliver Reichenstein pointed out that the so-called " State of the Blogosphere " was more of a PR-tool and money maker for Edelman and Technorati than a reliable source, explaining in particular: a ) why Technorati / Edelman's claim that " 31 % of the blogs are written in Japanese " was " bogus ", and b ) where the financial profit for the involved parties was in this.

Edelman's theory is strongly anti-reductionist and seeks to explain consciousness by reference to the extraordinarily rich and complex morphology of the brain.

* Reentry -- the third tenet of Edelman's thesis is the concept of reentrant signalling between neuronal groups.

* Cell and molecular biology: detection of colocalization using fluorescence-labelled antibodies for selective detection of the antigens of interest using specialized software, such as CoLocalizer Pro.

Though interest by the general public of the availability of this animal as a pet is growing, apparently no person or group is attempting to domesticate the red panda through any process, including selective breeding.

Although the older technique of EEG had long been used to study the brain activity underlying selective attention by cognitive psychophysiologists, the ability of the newer techniques to actually measure precisely localized activity inside the brain generated renewed interest by a wider community of researchers.

* June and Jennifer Gibbons, the selective mute twins, whose story gained international interest after Marjorie Wallace documented their story, lived in Haverfordwest for much of their childhood.

Gases and liquids can also be refined by extraction with a selective solvent that dissolves away either the substance of interest, or the unwanted impurities.

Her luck was highly selective, bending probability so that the outcome most beneficial to her or her descendants would come to pass, without regard to its effects on those around her — which was contrary to the interest of the rest of the Ringworld expedition on more than one occasion.

Wyatt's interest in the song was that he wanted to remind the West of the selective memory they had during the Cold War about this earlier alliance.

Very intelligent and independent minded, they are quick to learn and easy to train though Lakelands often exhibit ' selective deafness ' when their interest level is aroused.

Heck's interest in dogs was driven in part by his passion for hunting, and in part by an over-heated nationalism that was mixed with a desire to see what could be done with selective breeding.

In his first book, The Logic of Collective Action: Public Goods and the Theory of Groups ( 1965 ), he theorized that “ only a separate and ‘ selective ’ incentive will stimulate a rational individual in a latent group to act in a group-oriented way ”; that is, members of a large group will not act in the group's common interest unless motivated by personal gains ( economic, social, etc .).

Quoting O ' Brien, the Court held that the law " imposes a selective restriction on expressive conduct far ' greater than is essential to the furtherance of substantial governmental interest.

Korea University's undergraduate programs are among the most selective in the country and its alumni are widely considered to be one of the most powerful interest groups in South Korea.

In the field of evolution, primitive, when used as a descriptive term, is at its least disputable when applied to ancient species that had not yet undergone selective adaptation that later would cause their descendants to develop functional capabilities of interest in context.

Both these types, and those in between, are in existence by reason of a legislative interest in libraries that began at Albany as early as 1950, with the creation by the legislature of county library systems financed by county governments with matching funds from the state.

Bliss had a lifelong interest in the organization, structure and philosophy of knowledge and was very critical of the library classification systems that were available to him.

Early in his career his professional areas of interest lay in the simulation of strategies in collective action dilemmas, simulation of party behavior in proportional voting systems, and the use of surveys in public administration.

In particular, the energetics and dynamics of such systems and processes are of interest to physical chemists.

This generated a flurry of interest in the topic, during which Maxwell's classmate Edward John Routh generalized Maxwell's results for the general class of linear systems.

Critical social theory is, in contrast, a form of self-reflective knowledge involving both understanding and theoretical explanation to reduce entrapment in systems of domination or dependence, obeying the emancipatory interest in expanding the scope of autonomy and reducing the scope of domination.

More complicated, generally non-linear Bäcklund transforms, such as in the sine-Gordon equation, are of great interest in the theory of solitons and integrable systems.

To maintain the momentum of the perceived commercial interest in this new investment opportunity, in 1983, the Government itself granted eleven interim franchises for new broadband systems each covering a community of up to around 100, 000 homes, but the competitive franchising process was otherwise left to the new regulatory body, the Cable Authority, which took on its powers from January 1, 1985.

Centrally, these analog systems work by creating electrical ' analogs ' of other systems, allowing users to predict behavior of the systems of interest by observing the electrical analogs.

The papers grouped under the category " The Structure of Complex Systems "– dealing with issues such as causal ordering, decomposability, aggregation of variables, model abstraction – are of general interest in systems modelling, not just in economics.

This conversation strongly reinforced his interest in trade systems.

Both Red Hat and Microsoft announced plans to drop Itanium support in their operating systems due to lack of market interest ; although, other Linux distributions such as Debian remain available for Itanium.

Limited interest has been shown in low friction properties of compacted oxide glaze layers formed at several hundred degrees Celsius in metallic sliding systems, however, practical use is still many years away due to their physically unstable nature.

The later 1960s and 1970s witnessed an increased media interest in the Chinese fighting systems, influenced by martial artist Bruce Lee.

Mariculture has rapidly expanded over the last two decades due to new technology, improvements in formulated feeds, greater biological understanding of farmed species, increased water quality within closed farm systems, greater demand for seafood products, site expansion and government interest.

The events typically of interest are thunderstorms, squall lines, fronts, precipitation bands in tropical and extratropical cyclones, and topographically generated weather systems such as mountain waves and sea and land breezes.

Various specialized properties of molecular crystals and organic polymers with conjugated systems are of interest depending on applications, e. g. thermo-mechanical and electro-mechanical such as piezoelectricity, electrical conductivity ( see conductive polymers and organic semiconductors ), and electro-optical ( e. g. non-linear optics ) properties.

Advocates are often normal users who devote their spare time to advocacy of their operating system of choice ; many have a deep and abiding interest in the use, design and construction of operating systems and an emotional investment in their favourite operating system.
