Large Groups

Group size in primates is strongly correlated with brain size, but exactly what makes larger groups more ‘socially complex’ than smaller groups is still poorly understood. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) are among our closest living relatives and are excellent model species to investigate patterns of sociality and social complexity in primates, and to inform models of human social evolution. The aim of this paper is to propose new research frameworks, particularly the use of social network analysis, to examine how social structure differs in small, medium and large groups of chimpanzees and gorillas, to explore what makes larger groups more socially complex than smaller groups. Given a fission-fusion system is likely to have characterised hominins, a comparison of the social complexity involved in fission-fusion and more stable social systems is likely to provide important new insights into human social evolution

Improved Accuracy

Рассматриваются два варианта построения интегральных ОУ: 1) промышленных ОУ типа LM124, не уязвимых к воздействию ТЗЧ; 2) быстродействующих ОУ с улучшенными точностными и скоростными характеристиками. В обоих случаях используется синергетический подход, основанный на введении в структуру аналога элемента с режимом обострения. Two options for the construction of integrated op-amps are considered: 1) industrial op-amps of the LM124 type, which are invulnerable to the effects of HCP; 2) high-speed op-amps with improved accuracy and speed characteristics. In both cases, a synergistic approach is used, based on the introduction of an element with an aggravation mode into the structure of the analogue.

D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, interindividual variation, and postnatal neuronal growth

Brain Part

It is suggested that a connection between neurogenesis and brain part size is unsurprising. It is argued that neurogenesis cannot, however, be the only factor contributing to brain size. Highly individual post-natal experience radically shapes individual brains, leading to dramatic increases in brain size. The role of comparatively coarse statistical techniques in addressing these subtle biological issues is questioned.
