Reevaluating evolutionary paradigms by Richard Murdoch Montgomery

“… This article critically examines the contrasting perspectives of Charles Darwin and Alexander von Humboldt on evolution and the interconnectedness of nature, arguing that Darwin's emphasis on competition has contributed to contemporary ecological crises. …”

Cracking patterns of brittle hemispherical domes: an experimental study by Siwen Cao, Andr�s A. Sipos

“…We find that the size distribution of the fragments exhibits a lognormal distribution. The evolution is reflected in the load-displacement diagrams recorded in the test, too, as significant drops in the force are accompanied by an emergence of one or more new cracks, reflecting the brittle nature of the phenomenon. …”

The Sardine In The Network: Metaphorical Analysis Of Connectivity And Saturation Dynamics In Digital Ecosystems by Hafida Slimani, Rachid Saim

“…The research question focuses on how this metaphor can simplify the understanding of the network overload problem and make a complex concept more understandable to nonexperts. The research methodology includes a historical review of the sardine metaphor, followed by an examination of case studies in which this metaphor has been used in scientific and technical outreach contexts. …”

Evolutionary and functional analyses reveal a role for the RHIM in tuning RIPK3 activity across vertebrates by Elizabeth J Fay, Kolya Isterabadi, Charles M Rezanka, Jessica Le, Matthew D Daugherty

“…Despite this, some RIPK1/3-associated proteins are absent in specific vertebrate lineages, suggesting that some RIPK1/3 functions are conserved, while others are more evolutionarily labile. Here, we perform comparative evolutionary analyses of RIPK1–5 and associated proteins in vertebrates to identify lineage-specific rapid evolution of RIPK3 and RIPK1 and recurrent loss of RIPK3-associated proteins. …”

Analysis of the main provisions and features of Darwinism from logical and epistemological positions by E.V. Degtyarev

“…Scientific novelty: firstly, the logical error of «unjustified extrapolation» of Darwinism was discovered and substantiated, consisting in the fact that an unjustified conclusion is made about the existence of interspecies evolution from the undoubtedly existing intraspecific evolution; secondly, it was substantiated that the process of Darwin’s vision of the origin of more developed species from less developed ones is internally contradictory and illogical from logical and epistemological positions; thirdly, it is substantiated that from the logical-epistemological positions, the belief of Darwinism’s supporters that the first cells in terrestrial conditions arose randomly is, in essence, a kind of belief in the supernatural; fourthly, the article proposes a kind of «Lego principle» as one of the possible epistemological foundations for interspecies studies of living organisms. …”

“…Parsimony analysis indicated that Canis familiaris displayed the highest variation in FM evolution, suggesting a greater likelihood of malformation at the root branch of its phylogeny while T. brachyptera was least and more closely related to other species; NJ lead joiner with minimum branch length was P. tricuspis while sub tree and closest sub-tree pairs were A. albiventris and E. helvum respectively. …”
