(UAB) is recognized as a premier research institution. Few people know that UAB has the largest university-based primary care internal medicine residency training program in the country, according to Robert Centor, MD, Chief of General Internal Medicine. “Our categorical and primary care tracks both have 16 to 18 residents per year. ” Dr. Centor believes that primary care has flourished at UAB because, “outpatient problems are evaluated with the same respect and intellectual rigor as inpatient problems.” In 1993, Dr. Centor became GIM Division Chief at UAB, where he also serves as the Associate Dean for Primary Care. Since July of last year, he has been the Interim Dean at the Tuscaloosa campus where 25 UAB students spend

an important role in deciding which par-ticular invasion will take place. By introducing an imaginary ‘Darwinian demon ’ in charge of mutations, one can examine the maximal role that mutation could play in determining evolutionary change. Taking into account plei-otropic mutations and shifting fitness

A tandem repeat in DNA is two or more contiguous, approximate copies of a pattern of nucleotides. Tandem repeats have been shown to cause human disease, may play a variety of regulatory and evolutionary roles and are important laboratory and analytic tools. Extensive knowledge about pattern size

Traceability links can provide essential support for evolutionary development of software, beyond requirements engineering e.g. for reuse & design decisions, design and code comprehension, effort estimation, checks for completeness and project man-agement. For maximum support, traceability

It has been said that, in each decade, one book stands out in terms of its influence on the field of evolutionary biology. The instructor from whom I learned evolution taught that in the 1960s, it

This paper presents a mutation-based evolutionary algorithm that evolves genotypic genes for regulating developmental timing of phenotypic values. The genotype sequentially generates a given number of entire phenotypes and then finishes its life at each generation. Each genotypic gene represents a

of continuity in the genotype}phenotype map and in evolutionary trajectories. We connect the factorization of a pre-topology into a product space with the
