likelihood and the role of models in molecular phylogenetics.
- Mol. Biol. Evol.
, 2000
"... Methods such as maximum parsimony (MP) are frequently criticized as being statistically unsound and not being based on any ''model.'' On the other hand, advocates of MP claim that maximum likelihood (ML) has some fundamental problems. Here, we explore the connection between the ..."

sites, even for four sequences. Nevertheless, for four sequences, MP will be consistent when applied to pairs of sites if and only if it is statistically consistent on the original single site data. Formally we have: THEOREM 3A. For four sequences and any i.i.d. model of sequence evolution, MP
Evolution challenges. Integrating research and practice in teaching and learning about evolution
, 2012
"... Abstract and Keywords Scientists frequently attribute public misunderstanding of evolution to religious or political influences. Ineffective undergraduate teaching has also contributed. Faculty often ignored strong pedagogical evidence. Five research conclusions are discussed: The traditional lectu ..."

lecture approach is inadequate. Active learning is much more effective. Fundamental reasoning difficulties limit students' understanding. Simple steps help overcome these. Misconceptions typically persist unless directly addressed with a conceptual-change approach. Evolution is a complex set of ideas

The C program is represented as an abstract syntax tree (AST), in which each node corresponds to an executable statement or control-flow structure in the program. With these inputs in hand, a modified version of GP evolves a

Abstract—Architecting software systems according to the serviceoriented paradigm, and designing runtime self-adaptable systems are two relevant research areas in today’s software engineering. In this paper we address issues that lie at the intersection of these two important fields. First, we present a characterization of the problem space of self-adaptation for service-oriented systems, thus providing a frame of reference where our and other approaches can be classified. Then, we present MOSES, a methodology and a software tool implementing it to support QoS-driven adaptation of a service-oriented system. It works in a specific region of the identified problem space, corresponding to the scenario where a service-oriented system architected as a composite service needs to sustain a traffic of requests generated by several users. MOSES integrates within a unified framework different adaptation mechanisms. In this way it achieves a greater flexibility in facing various operating environments and the possibly conflicting QoS requirements of several concurrent users. Experimental results obtained with a prototype implementation of MOSES show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Index Terms—Service-oriented architecture, runtime adaptation, quality of service.
ANY-TIME FUZZY CONTROLLER
, 2006
"... Fuzzy logic has been successfully applied in various fields. However, as fuzzy controllers increase in size and complexity, the number of control rules increases exponentially and real-time behavior becomes more difficult. This thesis introduces an any-time fuzzy controller. Much work has been done ..."
