Inequality, discrimination, and the power of the status quo: Direct evidence for a motivation to see the way things are as the way they should be.

30 Aug 2009 How powerful is the status quo in determining people's social ideals? The authors propose (a) that people engage in injunctification, that is, a motivated tendency to construe the current status quo as the most desirable and reasonable state of ... Read more...

Unified description of regeneration by coupled dynamical systems theory: intercalary/segmented regeneration in insect legs.

30 Jul 2009 Regeneration phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and are studied in a variety of experiments. Positional information and feedback-loop hierarchy are theories that have been proposed to explain ordering rules in regeneration; however, some ... Read more...

Applied human genomics from an innovation systems perspective.

25 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND/AIMS: Nutrigenetics remains at the forefront of applied human genomics, and for this reason it draws scrutiny from several different perspectives. Most conspicuous among these perspectives is the interest demonstrated in the regulation of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Systems Theory'

Definition: Principles, models, and laws that apply to complex interrelationships and interdependencies of sets of linked components which form a functioning whole, a system. Any system may be composed of components which are systems in their own right (sub-systems), such as several organs within an individual organism.
