Abstract:

<p>Essential oils (EO) are plant secondary metabolites that are known for their fragrance and food flavour properties. They consist of a complex mixture of mono- and sesquiterpenes, phenyl propanoids and oxygenated compounds. EOs can be present in different plant organs and materials, and their storage is related to specialised secretory structures. The yield of EOs from plant raw materials by distillation or pressing may on average vary from 0.1 – 1%, thus restricting the major EO production to the plant group of aromatic plants. Due to their function as signalling compounds between different

The tRNALeu (UAA) intron has been recorded in the plastid genome of many algae and land plants and was the first intron to be discovered in cyanobacteria. In all known cases it interrupts the tRNALeu anticodon loop at a conserved position (U-intron-AA). Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of photosynthetic prokaryotes, some involved in symbiotic associations with a wide range of organisms. The most studied associations are those with plants, where strains of Nostoc are the common cyanobacterial partner.

Using examples from various fields (evolution, ecology and development), I develop a theory of biological historicity starting from the idea that the most fundamental property of historical processes is their capacity to retain information from the past, which ultimately depends on the existence of divergent outcomes and a causal dependence between a process’ outcome and its past.

A modal hyperedge e=(T,H,A,m) in E is an ordered 4-tuple, in which T,H,A are subsets of V and m is an element of M. The sets T, H, and A are the tail, head, and associate of e, while m is its mode.

The thesis commences with a discussion of the principled design of biologically-inspired algorithms. It is argued that modelling a biological system can be tremendously helpful in eventual algorithm construction. A proposal is made that it is possible to reduce modelling biases by modelling the biological system without any regard to algorithm development, that is, with only concern of understanding the biological mechanisms.

Abstract:

Machine learning has been a source for continuous methodological advances in the field of computational learning from data. Systems biology has profited in various ways from machine learning techniques but in particular from network inference, i.e. the learning of interactions given observed quantities of the involved components or data that stem from interventional experiments. Originally this domain of system biology was confined to the inference of gene regulation networks but recently expanded to other levels of organization of biological and ecological systems. Especially the application

Abstract:

The study examined interpretational frameworks of six experienced biology teachers related to their roles in assessing students’ written answers to test questions. Data comprised in-depth interviews, sample tests, marking keys and student answers. Teachers’ interpretational frameworks depend on their expectations and are complex, three-dimensional, relational, predominantly visual and incorporate dynamic decision-making processes in forming judgments about students’ answers. Pedagogical Content assessment Knowledge (PCaK) is proposed as a major organising feature.
