'We are holding the position, Sergius Ivanich!' said he, smoothing back his whiskers.

But these neurons are also part of an adaptive, regenerative system.

It includes 62 smoothing terms, with periods ranging from 5.6 days to 18.6 years.

which made me the highest ranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world.

A CAS is a complex, self similar collectivity of interacting adaptive agents.

They held large inventories of these assets, thus providing liquidity and smoothing excess price volatility.

How could it ever be adaptive for any organism to overcome self interest?

Ants became dominant after adaptive radiation at the beginning of the Paleogene period.

It also includes adaptive lighting, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, and safety breaking.

Advances in the field of finance have potentially had a beneficial impact in raising and smoothing global growth.

In Kenya, for example, Bridge International Academies is using adaptive learning on a large scale.

Dendritic cells serve as a link between the bodily tissues and the innate and adaptive immune systems, as they present antigen to T cells, one of the key cell types of the adaptive immune system.

So risk management, by smoothing out bumps in income, can be extremely important in alleviating the effects of poverty.

So it may be premature for the Party to celebrate the success of its adaptive strategy.

Ensuring that adaptive capacity is expanded and exploited where it is most needed is thus a key challenge.

The survival function that SIR2 exists to serve forestalling aging and reproduction during famine is adaptive and therefore pervasive in nature.

Both innate and adaptive immunity depend on the ability of the immune system to distinguish between self and non self molecules.

Such an approach requires incorporating psychology, anthropology, sociology, history, physics, biology, mathematics, computer science, and other disciplines that study complex adaptive systems.

Following the physicist Fritjof Capra, one should regard living organisms, social systems, and ecosystems as an interconnected and interdependent, complex adaptive system.

There is an adaptive logic to being kind to those with whom we continually interact we scratch their backs, they scratch ours.

Knewton, an adaptive learning platform that personalizes digital courses using predictive analytics, is another company at the forefront of the data revolution.

The web of contracts, however, can also be understood as complex adaptive market systems, which encompass the state and family relations as well.

More than a year ago, Poland decided to take part in the new Phased Adaptive Approach, which will primarily protect America s European allies.

An officer, buttoning his glove, stood aside at the doorway to make room for them, and smoothing his moustache looked with evident pleasure at the rosy Kitty.

It would perhaps be better if we recognized the limits our own explanatory ability, but there may be some adaptive value of those limits as well.

When the adaptive immune system of a vertebrate encounters a virus, it produces specific antibodies that bind to the virus and often render it non infectious.

Beside the finished building another as yet surrounded by scaffolding was being built. Workmen wearing aprons stood on the scaffolding laying bricks, pouring water from wooden pails, or smoothing the mortar.

When the child was pacified and laid in her deep cot, and the nurse after smoothing the little pillow went away, Karenin rose, and stepping with difficulty on tiptoe approached the infant.

The global market today is the very model of what scientists call a complex adaptive system, which are nonlinear and tend to resemble biological rather than mechanical systems.

This phenomenon has since been recognized as a feature of the plant adaptive immune system and allows the entire plant to respond to a virus after an initial localized encounter.

Smoothing the edges of their style in the direction of new wave, several post punk bands such as New Order (descended from Joy Division), The Cure, and U2 crossed over to a mainstream U.S. audience.

We can make the circuitry of the right computational power, but we can't actually put them together to make something that will actually work and be as adaptive as these systems.

Data obtained from animal experiments show that harmful physiological changes result from the inability of the brain and body to respond to repeated stress with adaptive modifications in structure and function.

He wiped his face all round with his handkerchief, and smoothing his coat, which was already quite in order, smilingly greeted the new arrivals. He held out his hand to Oblonsky as if he were trying to catch something.

'Why are you so late?' asked the old Prince with a smile, holding out his hand over his shoulder. 'How is Kitty?' he added, smoothing the table napkin, which he had tucked in behind a button of his waistcoat.

Europe is a peculiar combination of geography and history, but the boundaries of the EU and thus the prospects for its further enlargement are determined by its absorptive capacity and the adaptive abilities of candidate countries.

Although phagocytes and other components of the innate immune system can, to a limited extent, control viruses, once a virus is inside a cell the adaptive immune responses, particularly the lymphocytes, are more important for defense.

Europe is a peculiar combination of geography and history, but the EU s boundaries and thus the prospects for its further enlargement are determined as much by its capacity to integrate candidate countries as by these countries own adaptive abilities.

26, p. 311 (June 1866) Data on (87) Sylvia from Johnston's archive (maintained by W. R. Johnston) Rubble Pile Minor Planet Sylvia and Her Twins (ESO news release, August 2005) Includes images and artists impressions Adaptive Optics System Reveals New Asteroidal Satellite (SpaceDaily.com, March 2001) Includes a discovery image.

Data obtained from animal experiments show that harmful physiological changes result from the inability of the brain and body to respond to repeated stress with adaptive modifications in structure and function. Three brain areas the hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex, and the amygdala are particularly susceptible to pathological changes in size and function.

Briefly stress consists of a pattern of built in processes preparing the human organism for physical activity in response to demands and influences that tax its capacity to adapt. Activation of our fight or flight mechanism is an appropriate adaptive response when facing a wolf pack, but not so when struggling to adjust to rotating shifts, monotonous and fragmented tasks, or over demanding customers.
