This detailed collection compiles established and cutting-edge experimental methods and protocols in plant hormone research, indispensable for understanding the role of hormones in governing various aspects of plant growth, development, reproduction, and responses to environmental cues.
The Sun Engine is a sweeping journey through time, energy, and existence, exploring how the Sun powers life, drives civilisation, and shapes the very fabric of the cosmos.
The Reflective Cosmos: A Unified Theory of Space, Life and Mind offers a sweeping and original vision of the universe as a living, intelligent system shaped by reflection, recursion and cosmic pressure.
This book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the interplay between the bodily self, emotion, and subjective time perception, consciousness, as well as clinical implications with a primary focus on the groundbreaking work of A.

Despite decades of work in evolutionary algorithms, there remains a lot of uncertainty as to when it is beneficial or detrimental to use recombination or mutation.
The field of biologically inspired computation has coexisted with mainstream computing since the 1930s, and the pioneers in this area include Warren McCulloch, Walter Pitts, Robert Rosen, Otto Schmitt, Alan Turing, John von Neumann and Norbert Wiener.
The 30 coherently written chapters by leading researchers presented in this anthology are devoted to basic results achieved in computational intelligence since 1997.
During the first week of September 1999, the Second EvoNet Summer School on Theoretical Aspects of Evolutionary Computing was held at the Middelheim cam- pus of the University of Antwerp, Belgium.
Evolutionary Algorithms, in particular Evolution Strategies, Genetic Algorithms, or Evolutionary Programming, have found wide acceptance as robust optimization algorithms in the last ten years.
Following the discovery of large petroleum reserves in northern Alaska, the US Department of Energy implemented an integrated field and modeling study to help define potential impacts of energy-related disturbances on tundra ecosystems.
These notes are an extended version of lectures given in the Symposium on Mathematics and Development arranged by the School of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Khartoum, Sudan, in 1982.
Digital Health Maturity: Quality, Interoperability, and Innovation provides a roadmap to move from endless pilots and ad hoc system purchase to a systematic, stepwise, and integrated approach to increasing digital health capacity.
This book presents recent breakthroughs in the field of Learning-from-Observation (LfO) resulting from advancement in large language models (LLM) and reinforcement learning (RL) and positions it in the context of historical developments in the area.

This monograph intertwines the two themes of historiography and evolutionary biology and shows that both activities are analogous in their practices; they are spinning stories about the past and thus constructing the world to suit the present of a given community as well as, if necessary, the construction of its tilting into the future.

This book explores one of the most pressing questions of our time: what becomes of human autonomy when algorithms and artificial intelligence systems are no longer just tools but rather actors in medicine, care, education, mobility, and even warfare?
