description: Nearly all field experiments on food crops which are conducted in the Caribbean region employ techniques of design and layout which have been developed by biometricians in temperate countries in North America and Europe. These techniques have been very successful for field experimentation in the countries in which they were developed. However they have not been so successful in tropical regions_ This is partly due to the fact that often the land used for experimentation in the tropics is not uniform which means that great care has to be taken to ensure that each block is laid down so as to eliminate most of the variations due to non uniformity of land_ Again the type of factorial arrangements often chosen include treatment combinations which are not really of interest to the experimenter. Researchers are therefore urged to adopt a flexible approach to the design of their experiments so as to include only treatment combinations in which they are interested and also to give extra replication to treatments which are of special interest such as control treatments. Another problem regularly faced by experimenters is to decide on the size and shape of their plots. Some suggestions are made to help in choosing the optimum plot size and the advantages of various plot shapes are also discussed.
Linear scheduling and 4D visualization
Creators: name: Tran, Ngoc
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Described in this thesis is a novel approach to 4D CAD. It involves a 2-way symbiotic relationship between 3D CAD software and a software implementation of linear planning that includes the ability to define a project product model and associate it with the process model. Strengths of the approach include the ability to readily modify construction sequences and examine their consequences using 4D CAD, and the ability to treat very large scale projects marked by significant repetition of their components. By building on a shared image of the project product model from both a design and construction perspective, the CAD model can be structured in a way that facilitates communication with the scheduling software and vice versa. Various challenges involved in making the 2-way process work are described, including consistency of product representation in the CAD and scheduling models, and the need to group CAD components at different levels of detail and locations to reflect the kinds of aggregation found in schedule representations of a project. The benefits of the approach include the ease with which different scheduling strategies can be explored and visualized, the links between 3D objects and activities can be maintained, and the completeness of the product model representations can be validated. An example is used to illustrate the approach adopted and challenges involved.

description: We investigate dynamical symmetry enlargement in the half-filled SU(4) Hubbard chain using non-perturbative renormalization group and Quantum Monte Carlo techniques. A spectral gap is shown to open for arbitrary Coulombic repulsion $U$. At weak coupling, $U \lesssim 3t$, a SO(8) symmetry between charge and spin-orbital excitations is found to be dynamically enlarged at low energy. At strong coupling, $U \gtrsim 6t$, the charge degrees of freedom dynamically decouple and the resulting effective theory in the spin-orbital sector is that of the SO(6) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. Both regimes exhibit spin-Peierls order. However, although spin-orbital excitations are $incoherent$ in the SO(6) regime they are $coherent$ in the SO(8) one. The cross-over between these regimes is discussed.

description: Given a compact Lie group, endowed with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric, its complexification inherits a Kaehler structure having twice the kinetic energy of the metric as its potential, and Kaehler reduction with reference to the adjoint action yields a stratified Kaehler structure on the resulting adjoint quotient. Exploiting classical invariant theory, in particular bisymmetric functions and variants thereof, we explore the singular Poisson-Kaehler geometry of this quotient. Among other things we prove that, for various compact groups, the real coordinate ring of the adjoint quotient is generated, as a Poisson algebra, by the real and imaginary parts of the fundamental characters. We also show that singular Kaehler quantization of the geodesic flow on the reduced level yields the irreducible algebraic characters of the complexified group.

Long-range photon fluctuations enhance photon-mediated electron pairing and superconductivity

description: Recently, the possibility of inducing superconductivity for electrons in two dimensional materials has been proposed via cavity-mediated pairing. The cavity-mediated electron-electron interactions are long range, which has two main effects: firstly, within the standard BCS-type pairing mediated by adiabatic photons, the superconducting critical temperature depends polynomially on the coupling strength, instead of the exponential dependence characterizing the phonon-mediated pairing; secondly, as we show here, the effect of photon fluctuations is significantly enhanced. These mediate novel non-BCS-type pairing processes, via non-adiabatic photons, which are not sensitive to the electron occupation but rather to the electron dispersion and lifetime at the Fermi surface. Therefore, while the leading temperature dependence of BCS pairing comes from the smoothening of the Fermi-Dirac distribution, the temperature dependence of the fluctuation-induced pairing comes from the electron lifetime. For realistic parameters, also including cavity loss, this results into a critical temperature which can be more than one order of magnitude larger than the BCS prediction. Moreover, a finite average number photons (as can be achieved by incoherently pumping the cavity) adds to the fluctuations and leads to a further enhancement of the critical temperature.

description: We implement complex scaling of Faddeev equations using hyper-spheric coordinates and adiabatic expansion. Complex scaling of coordinates allows convenient calculations of three-body resonances. We derive the necessary equations and investigate the adiabatic spectrum at large distances. We illustrate the viability of the implementation by calculations of several three-body resonances: a $0^+$ resonance in a model benchmark system of three identical bosons; the $2^+$ resonance in the $^6$He nucleus within the $α+n+n$ model; and the two $0^+$ resonances in $^{12}$C within the three-$α$ model.

Sensitivity in growth responses of tree seedlings to variation in identity and abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi
Creators: name: Karst, Justine Delaney
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Interdependent organisms such as trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi are described as coevolved. Partner species in coevolved interactions are expected to be sensitive to intraspecific variation of each partner due to the intimate and interdependent nature of their interactions. In this thesis, I considered specific aspects of variation in each of the ectomycorrhizal partners and how this variation influenced the other partner. In particular, I used experimental and meta-analytical approaches to evaluate (1) how colonization levels, regardless of ectomycorrhizal fungal taxon, correlated to host growth; (2) how ectomycorrhizal fungi differentially influenced growth of different genera of plant hosts, and (3) how variation in growth of a single host species was correlated to the composition of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in various soil environments. Because controlling for and manipulating ectomycorrhizal fungi on host plants is integral to these questions, I also tested the efficacy of two methods to control colonization by ectomycorrhizal fungi on host plants and found that fungicides and mesh can be effective barriers to colonization. Results from the meta-analysis and experiments indicated that colonization levels did not consistently scale with host growth response, however, suggesting that colonization levels may not be an ecologically useful factor to gauge the growth responses of host plants to ectomycorrhizal fungi. In addition, there was little sensitivity in growth responses of host plants to variation in the identity of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Seedlings across multiple host genera increased in biomass and shoot height when inoculated with ectomycorrhizal fungi regardless of the identity of the fungal associate. When ectomycorrhizas were considered in a multi-specific context (i.e. one host species associated with a community of ectomycorrhizal fungi), variation in host shoot properties was not correlated with species composition of the community of ectomycorrhizal fungi on their roots but rather appeared to be coupled to edaphic conditions. These results indicate that the variation in ectomycorrhizal fungi perceived and selected for by the host plant may be of a discrete (presence/absence of ectomycorrhizal fungi) rather than continuous nature (variation in identity or abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi).

description: Obscured AGN represent a significant fraction of the entire AGN population, especially at high redshift (~70% at z=3--5). They are often characterized by the presence of large gas and dust reservoirs that are thought to sustain and possibly obscure vigorous star formation processes that make these objects shine at far-IR and sub-mm wavelengths. We exploit ALMA Cycle 4 observations of the continuum (~2.1mm) and high-J CO emission of a sample of six X-ray selected SMGs hosting an obscured AGN at z_spec>2.5 in the 7 Ms CDF-S. We measured the masses and sizes of the dust and molecular gas and we derived the gas density and column density on the basis of a uniform sphere geometry. Finally, we compared the measured column densities with those derived from the Chandra X-ray spectra. We detected both the continuum and line emission for three sources for which we measured both the flux density and size. For the undetected sources, we derived an upper limit on the flux density. We found that the detected galaxies are rich in gas and dust (molecular gas mass in the range <0.5 - 2.7 x 10^10 M_sun for α_CO=0.8 and up to ~2 x 10^11~M_sun for α_CO=6.5, and dust mass <0.9 - 4.9 x 10^8 M_sun) and compact (gas major axis 2.1-3.0 kpc, dust major axis 1.4-2.7 kpc). The column densities associated with the ISM are on the order of 10^(23-24) cm-2, which is comparable with those derived from the X-ray spectra. For the detected sources we also derived dynamical masses in the range 0.8 - 3.7 x 10^10 M_sun. We conclude that the ISM of high redshift galaxies can substantially contribute to nuclear obscuration up to the Compton-thick (>10^24 cm-2) regime. In addition, we found that all the detected sources show a velocity gradient reminding one rotating system, even though two of them show peculiar features in their morphology that can be associated with a chaotic, possibly merging, structure.

Dyke emplacement in Tenerife (Canary Islands): Field studies and numerical models

Publisher: name: Universitätsverlag Göttingen
Year: 2006

description: Dykes are magma-driven extension fractures and the main conduits for magma in volcanic eruptions. To understand the mechanics of dyke emplacement is thus essential to assess volcanic hazards. To improve the understanding of the processes of dyke initiation from shallow magma chambers and dyke propagation through a mechanicallylayered crust, field measurements and observations from Tenerife (Canary Islands) are used and compared with the results from numerical models. Careful studies of 550 dykes in three profiles in the Anaga massif (Tenerife) include measurements of dyke geometry and orientation. The results of these measurements show that dykes have been injected from a deep-seated reservoir during the shield-building phase. Furthermore, the dyke attitudes agree with the main axial trends of Tenerife that are preserved in the old massifs of Teno, Anaga, and Roque del Conde...

description: Weakly supervised object detection (WSOD) using only image-level annotations has attracted a growing attention over the past few years. Whereas such task is typically addressed with a domain-specific solution focused on natural images, we show that a simple multiple instance approach applied on pre-trained deep features yields excellent performances on non-photographic datasets, possibly including new classes. The approach does not include any fine-tuning or cross-domain learning and is therefore efficient and possibly applicable to arbitrary datasets and classes. We investigate several flavors of the proposed approach, some including multi-layers perceptron and polyhedral classifiers. Despite its simplicity, our method shows competitive results on a range of publicly available datasets, including paintings (People-Art, IconArt), watercolors, cliparts and comics and allows to quickly learn unseen visual categories.

description: The ability to propel against flows, i.e., to perform positive rheotaxis, can provide exciting opportunities for applications in targeted therapeutics and non-invasive surgery. To date, no biocompatible technologies exist for navigating microparticles upstream when they are in a background fluid flow. Inspired by many naturally occurring microswimmers such as bacteria, spermatozoa, and plankton that utilize the non-slip boundary conditions of the wall to exhibit upstream propulsion, here, we report on the design and characterization of self-assembled microswarms that can execute upstream motility in a combination of external acoustic and magnetic fields. Both acoustic and magnetic fields are safe to humans, non-invasive, can penetrate deeply into the human body, and are well-developed in clinical settings. The combination of both fields can overcome the limitations encountered by single actuation methods. The design criteria of the acoustically-induced reaction force of the microswarms, which is needed to perform rolling-type motion, are discussed. We show quantitative agreement between experimental data and our model that captures the rolling behaviour. The upstream capability provides a design strategy for delivering small drug molecules to hard-to-reach sites and represents a fundamental step toward the realization of micro- and nanosystem-navigation against the blood flow.

title: A pilot investigation of illness representations and coping in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and their relationship with quality of life
Creators: name: Jones, Lindsay
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This study investigates the relationship between illness representations, coping strategies and the quality of life domains of anxiety, depression, activity levels and psychosocial functioning in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Leventhal's Self Regulation Model is used as a theoretical framework. Twenty - six people with COPD completed a series of questionnaires and a semi - structured interview. The sample was found to have high levels of anxiety, lowered activity levels and reduced psychosocial functioning. The illness representations of the sample could be characterised as a high illness identity, a chronic time line, a perception of serious consequences, a perception of multiple causes and a lack of control over the illness. These representations would all be expected to cause distress. In common with other chronic illnesses, emotion focused coping strategies were most commonly used. Regression models were produced for the outcome variables of anxiety, depression, activity levels and psychosocial functioning. Independent variables were demographic and disease variables, illness representations and coping strategies. It was hypothesised that illness representations and coping would explain more of the variance in the outcome measures than demographic and disease variables. Only one of the four hypotheses relating to the regression analyses was upheld. Nevertheless, it would seem that illness representations and coping strategies . may be important in the understanding of what influences outcome in COPD, and are worthy of further study. The clinical implications of the findings are discussed, and suggestions made for future research.

description: This survey is a presentation of the arguments in the proof that Henon-like maps f_a(x,y)=(1-a x^2,0) + R(a,x,y) with |R(a,x,y)|< b have a "strange attractor", with positive Lebesgue probability in the parameter "a", if the perturbation size "b" is small enough. We first sketch a "geometric model" of the strange attractor in this context, emphasising some of its key geometrical properties, and then focus on the construction and estimates required to show that this geometric model does indeed occur for many parameter values. Our ambitious aim is to provide an exposition at one and the same time intuitive, synthetic, and rigorous. We think of this text as an introduction and study guide to the original papers in which the results were first proved. We shall concentrate on describing in detail the overall structure of the argument and the way it breaks down into its (numerous) constituent sub-arguments, while referring the reader to the original sources for detailed technical arguments.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Another long--standing conjecture states that the crossing number cr(K_n) of the complete graph K_n equals Z(n):= floor(n/2) floor((n-1)/2) floor((n-2)/2) floor((n-3)/2)/4. In this paper we show the following improved bounds on the asymptotic ratios of these crossing numbers and their conjectured values: (i) for each fixed m >= 9, lim_{n->infty} cr(K_m,n)/Z(m,n) >= 0.83m/(m-1); (ii) lim_{n->infty} cr(K_n,n)/Z(n,n) >= 0.83; and (iii) lim_{n->infty} cr(K_n)/Z(n) >= 0.83. The previous best known lower bounds were 0.8m/(m-1), 0.8, and 0.8, respectively. These improved bounds are obtained as a consequence of the new bound cr(K_{7,n}) >= 2.1796n^2 - 4.5n. To obtain this improved lower bound for cr(K_{7,n}), we use some elementary topological facts on drawings of K_{2,7} to set up a quadratic program on 6! variables whose minimum p satisfies cr(K_{7,n}) >= (p/2)n^2 - 4.5n, and then use state--of--the--art quadratic optimization techniques combined with a bit of invariant theory of permutation groups to show that p >= 4.3593.

Creators: name: Laurenz, Jon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The thesis critiques the current practice of green facades in terms of a broader range of opportunities they might realize. It analyses the current practice of green facades as to the different types, construction systems, and relationship with the immediate context. It also identifies a series opportunities related to six areas: human comfort; expressive capacity; air & water quality; indoor outdoor relationship; urban biodiversity; and carbon neutral architecture. This thesis develops a green facades framework that enables the critique and evaluation of the different existing types of green facades in terms of the extent to which they accomplish such opportunities, facilitating a determination of their appropriateness to different conditions, solar orientations, and user needs. This same framework also intends to improve the current practice of green facades by assisting designers to define a particular green facades.

description: Self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC) offers several benefits compared to self-compacting concrete (SCC) made of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), including higher mechanical strength and enhanced environmental sustainability due to less CO2 emissions. The production process of SCGC differs significantly from that SCC due to the activation process of geopolymer binders with alkaline activators, affecting the fresh and hardened characteristics of SCGC. This article reviews the influence of mix proportions on the fresh and hardened characteristics of SCGC, including setting time, workability, strength, and microstructure. It also provides insights into the importance of the chemical compositions of binders and alkaline activators on the fresh and hardened properties of SCGC. The findings highlight the importance of careful selection and optimization of the chemical compositions of binders and alkaline activators for the mix design of SCGC. Limitations of the existing research studies about SCGC and possible solutions are highlighted.
title: Education as a missionary tool : a study in Christian missionary education by English Protestant missionaries in India with special reference to cultural change
Creators: name: Ingleby, Jonathan Cecil
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: In the long nineteenth century all the English Protestant missionary societies in India used education as a missionary tool. This study examines their reasons for doing so and their attempts to implement various educational strategies. It also examines the theological and educational ideas that they brought with them from England, and the continuing pressures exerted on them by their English supporters. The way in which the missionaries adjusted to their new context and their relationship with the government and with the local culture are also studied. The thesis argues that missionary education had considerable impact on the culture in which it took place, but that it was not always the impact that the missionaries had intended. Similarly the culture affected the choices which the missionaries made. Missionary strategies changed as they experienced failure and success in achieving their aims. Attention is paid to the political, as well as the cultural, context of the missionaries. While the missionaries' educational aims were to some extent formulated in dialogue with government, the study suggests that the missionaries and the government had significantly different educational strategies. A clear cut distinction is drawn between the education aimed at the nation's elite through English medium higher education and the attempt to educate at a village level in the vernacular languages. The thesis argues that the latter was more successful in terms of the missionaries' long term aims. Finally, the thesis also argues that 'raising up a native agency' was the missionaries' initial purpose in founding schools and colleges. For a number of reasons they were often diverted from this aim in the intervening years. It became their strategy again, however, at the end of the period.

description: Extending the background metric optimization procedure for Euclidean path integrals of two-dimensional conformal field theories, introduced by Caputa et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 071602 (2017)), to a $z=2$ anisotropically scale-invariant $(2+1)$-dimensional Lifshitz field theory of a free massless scalar field, we find optimal geometries for static and dynamic correlation functions. For the static correlation functions, the optimal background metric is equivalent to an AdS metric on a Poincare patch, while for dynamical correlation functions, we find Lifshitz like metric. This results suggest that a MERA-like tensor network, perhaps without unitarity, would still be considered an optimal background spacetime configuration for the numerical description of this system, even though the classical action we start with is not a conformal field theory.

description: We present results from two long observations of XB 1746-371 by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 2002 January and May, lasting 4 and 5 days respectively. Dips are observed in the X-ray light curves with a depth of 25 per cent, largely independent of energy within the usable band of the PCA instrument of 2.1 - 16.0 keV. X-ray bursting and flaring activity are also evident. The dips define the orbital period of the system, and using a power spectral analysis and a cycle counting technique we derive an accurate period of P_orb = 5.16 +/- 0.01 hr. The previously-reported candidate period of 5.73$\pm$0.15 hr, obtained using Ginga data, is inconsistent with our determination, perhaps due to the weakness of the dipping and the variability of the source during that observation. The dips in the RXTE observations presented here do not align with the Ginga period, however our improved period is consistent with a wide range of archival data.

description: Der oberflächennahe geologische Untergrund Norddeutschlands wird durch das Auftreten zahlreicher Salzvorkommen geprägt. Während der Triaszeit und des unteren Juras herrschte ein EW gerichtetes, extensives tektonisches Regime vor. Durch zusätzliche Umlagerung klastischer Sedimente wurden darunter liegende Salzmassen permischen Alters (Zechstein) aus Tiefen von bis zu 5000Metern an die Erdoberfläche empor gepresst. Durch diesen Salzaufstieg wurden darüber liegende mesozoische Schichten durchschlagen, randlich der Salzdiapire deformiert und teilweise mitgeschleppt. Eine letzte Phase salztektonischer Aktivitäten während der oberen Kreide und des unteren Tertiärs zeichnet sich zum einen durch weiteren Salzaufstieg aus und zum anderen durch horizontale Einengung der Salzstöcke. Begleitgesteine der Salze, wie Gips, Anhydrit, und Karst, sowie Tertiäre und Quartäre Ablagerungen überlagern die Salzstöcke mit unterschiedlichen Mächtigkeiten. Das humide Klima Norddeutschlands begünstigt natürliche Auslaugungsprozesse (Subrosion) der Evaporite durch Grundwasser. Je nach Tiefenlage des Salzspiegels (Salzstock Lüneburg: −20 bis −40 m; Salzstock Othmarschen-Langenfelde (Hamburg): ca 0 bis −250 m) kann es zu intensiver Hohlraumbildung im tieferen Untergrund kommen. Die fortschreitende Vergrößerung einer solchen Höhle steht in Abhängigkeit zur Intensität der Lösungsprozesse, während die Stabilität des Hohlraumes zusätzlich von der Materialbeschaffenheit abhängt. So können feste Gesteine oder bindige Böden zwar ein stabiles Höhlendach bilden, jedoch ist bei andauernden Lösungsprozessen langfristig ein statisches Versagen des Höhlendaches unvermeidlich. Der damit verbundene Kollaps und die Verfüllung des Hohlraumes mit Sediment spiegelt sich häufig in Form von sub-zirkularen und konischen Einsturzröhren oder weitläufigen morphologischen Trichtern an der Erdoberfläche wieder. Die Terminologie der Erdfälle wird anhand der Subsidenzrate gewählt...

description: In this work, we propose a novel technique for in-vivo proton therapy range verification. This technique makes use of a small hadron tumour marker, $^{92}$Mo, implanted at a short known distance from the clinical treatment volume. Signals emitted from the marker during treatment can provide a direct measurement of the proton beam energy at the marker's position. Fusion-evaporation reactions between the proton beam and marker nucleus result in the emission of delayed characteristic $γ$ rays, which are detected off-beam for an improved signal-to-noise ratio. In order to determine the viability of this technique and to establish an experimental setup for future work, the Monte Carlo package GEANT4 was used in combination with ROOT to simulate a treatment scenario with the new method outlined in this work. These simulations show that analyzing the intensity of delayed $γ$ rays produced from competing reactions yields a precise measurement of the range of the proton beam relative to the marker, with sub-millimeter uncertainty.

description: The spectrum of hypernuclear trios composed of a $Λ$ baryon and two nucleons is the subject of an ongoing experimental campaign, aiming to study the interaction of the $Λ$ particle with a neutron, and the 3-body $Λ$-nucleon-nucleon force. In this manuscript we utilize baryonic effective field theory at leading order, constrained to reproduce the available low energy light hypernuclear data, to study the continuum spectrum of such hypernuclear trios. Using the complex scaling method and the inverse analytic continuation in the coupling constant method we find the existence of a virtual state in the $Λn p$ $J^π=\frac{3}{2}^{+}$ channel, leading to cross-section enhancement near threshold. For the $Λn n$ $J^π=\frac{1}{2}^{+}$ channel we predict a resonance state. Depending, however, on the value of the $ΛN$ scattering length, the resonance pole moves from the physical to the unphysical complex energy sheet within the experimental bounds.

title: Adaptive evolution in static and dynamic environments
Creators: name: Hirst, Anthony John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This thesis provides a framework for describing a canonical evolutionary system. Populations of individuals are envisaged as traversing a search space structured by genetic and developmental operators under the influence of selection. Selection acts on individuals' phenotypic expressions, guiding the population over an evaluation landscape, which describes an idealised evaluation surface over the phenotypic space. The corresponding valuation landscape describes evaluations over the genotypic space and may be transformed by within generation adaptive (learning) or maladaptive (fault induction) local search. Populations subjected to particular genetic and selection operators are claimed to evolve towards a region of the valuation landscape with a characteristic local ruggedness, as given by the runtime operator correlation coefficient. This corresponds to the view of evolution discovering an evolutionarily stable population, or quasi-species, held in a state of dynamic equilibrium by the operator set and evaluation function. This is demonstrated by genetic algorithm experiments using the NK landscapes and a novel, evolvable evaluation function, The Tower of Babel. In fluctuating environments of varying temporal ruggedness, different operator sets are correspondingly more or less adapted. Quantitative genetics analyses of populations in sinusoidally fluctuating conditions are shown to describe certain well known electronic filters. This observation suggests the notion of Evolutionary Signal Processing. Genetic algorithm experiments in which a population tracks a sinusoidally fluctuating optimum support this view. Using a self-adaptive mutation rate, it is possible to tune the evolutionary filter to the environmental frequency. For a time varying frequency, the mutation rate reacts accordingly. With local search, the valuation landscape is transformed through temporal smoothing. By coevolving modifier genes for individual learning and the rate at which the benefits may be directly transmitted to the next generation, the relative adaptedness of individual learning and cultural inheritance according to the rate of environmental change is demonstrated.
