Abstract:
The fundamental ideas of transhumanism were first proposed by a British biochemist J. Haldane. In his 1923 essay "Daedalus; or Science and the Future" he describes how scientific and technological discoveries can change society and improve the human condition. In this work, he predicted that the implementation of advanced sciences to human biology would bring great benefits. These views inspired another researcher, who is still associated with the birth of transhumanism, namely J. Huxley, who first used the term "Transhumanism" in his work. Under it, Huxley understood humanity’s awareness of the need for self-improvement, or directed revolution.

Abstract:
The Hodgkin-Huxley model is the first successful mathematical model for explaining the initiation and propagation of an action potential in a neuron cell. In this paper we reinvestigated the Hodgkin-Huxley model through computer simulation and determined the threshold potentials by applying different types of stimulating input signals. To implement the work, a computer programme of the Hodgkin-Huxley model was written in MATLAB programming language. The action potentials of neuron cells were checked and the threshold potentials of the neuron cell for specific types of stimulating input signals were tabulated with an aim to utilize these values to do experiment on neuron cell in future.Dhaka Univ.

Abstract:
Julian Huxley, founder and the first Director-General of UNESCO, is at the heart of contemporary debates on the nature and objectives of the concept of transhumanism, which he first used in the early 1950s. Therefore, the analysis of his idea of transhumanism - a tool to improve the quality of life and the condition of man - should lead us to question his heritage in terms of philosophy that inspires UNESCO’s action as it seeks to build a comprehensive approach to artificial intelligence that takes into account, among other things, the values and principles of universal ethics and aims to derive the best from the use of this technology. This title where the British biologist, the elder brother of the famous science fiction writer, Aldous Huxley, author of the Brave New World, coexists with the United Nations Organization in charge of Education of Science and Culture is obvious for those who know the history of this international organization or who like radio games: Julian Huxley was appointed as the first Director-General of UNESCO in 1946. But, beyond this evidence, there is a deeper link that highlights the history of the renewal of the idea of transhumanism (I) and questions about the role that UNESCO has, among the other international organizations (II).

Abstract:
The contraction of a muscle generates a force that decreases when increasing the contraction velocity. This “hyperbolic” force–velocity relationship has been known since the seminal work of A. V. Hill in 1938 [Hill AV (1938) Proc R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 126(843):136–195]. Hill’s heuristic equation is still used, and the sliding-filament theory for the sarcomere [Huxley H, Hanson J (1954) Nature 173(4412):973–976; Huxley AF, Niedergerke R (1954) Nature 173(4412):971–973] suggested how its different parameters can be related to the molecular origin of the force generator [Huxley AF (1957) Prog Biophys Biophys Chem 7:255–318; Deshcherevskiĭ VI (1968) Biofizika 13(5):928–935]. Here, we develop a capillary analog of the sarcomere obeying Hill’s equation and discuss its analogy with muscles.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation brings a contribution to the philosophical debate on adaptive landscapes, an influent "model" or "metaphor" in evolutionary biology. Some elements of innovation are: the distinction between native and migrant metaphor; a processual and communicational idea on what the Modern Synthesis was, and on what role a metaphor could have played in it; a view (taken by Richard Lewontin) of the disunity and theoretical structure of population genetics; the distinction between “adaptive surfaces” (mainly metaphors) and “combination spaces”, two terms normally conflated in the word “landscape”; an analysis of what bridges (including heuristics) may be cast between equations of gene frequency and the genotype space that, due to its huge dimensionality, cannot be handled by mathematics; a specified vocabulary to be used to clear the adaptive landscapes debate, accompanied by a plea in favor of a pragmatic approach - for example, the plurality of available notions of model forces us to choose one notion and see where it brings, otherwise we get stuck in confused, endless debates; an updated analytical comment of recent landscapes - Dobzhansky, Simpson, Dawkins but also the proliferation of combination spaces used in evolutionary biology to address a great variety of problems; the vision (got by Sergey Gavrilets) of a patchwork of tools finally making Mendelian population suitable model also for speciation; the exact position of holey landscapes in this patchwork, and the idea that scientists’s questions - like “how possibly” questions - matter in accessing this patchwork and in deciding “what explains” and “what describes” what in the world; the direct response to some mistakes Massimo Pigliucci made, I think, in his assessment of the adaptive landscape; an analysis of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis project at its present stage, and some reflections on the conditions that will allow such a project to give a fair treatment and a good position to tools from the past, like the adaptive landscapes.

Abstract:
Familiar lines of argument were followed in the interwar years and into the second great conflict. There was concern about the eugenical effects of war, with some reassuring, biologically informed thinking by the geneticist J. B. S. Haldane. Julian Huxley was significant in the period, arguing that evolution is indeed a progressive process up to humankind; that biological arms races play a significant role in this process, thus showing that in some sense war has been a good thing; and that now, thanks particularly to technology, we are in a position to move beyond war. Against this we have continued bellicose thinking in Germany, although the extent to which Hitler was influenced by Darwin is often overestimated. Homegrown philosophies were more important. We do see the rise of influential peaceful interpretations of Darwinism, notably by the American Quaker evolutionist, Warder Clyde Allee. He wrote in opposition to Austrian ethologist Konrad Lorenz who was happy to report on the support his thinking gave to National Socialism. The Inklings, the Christian fantasy writers, especially C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, hated the thinking of Julian Huxley. They knew an alternative religion when they saw one.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the essays Synge wrote and revised over a decade (1898–1908) during his travels in Wicklow. Beginning with a discussion of Synge’s engagement with natural history, and his simultaneous engagement with positivistic science and works on spiritualism and mysticism, the chapter firstly argues that Synge’s religious sense was pantheistic and worked to reconcile his belief in evolutionary science with a sense of the numinous. Drawing on ecocritical scholarship, the chapter reads Synge’s essays alongside his contemporary reading of evolutionary theorists such as Henry Drummond, T. H. Huxley, and Darwin, and writers who applied evolutionary thought to anthropology and sociology, such as James Frazer and Herbert Spencer. By showing that Synge worked to ‘re-enchant’ nature, emphasizing close connection with the physical world as the principal source of spiritual experience, and by placing this alongside the occult knowledge explored in the previous chapter, Chapter 2 shows that Synge’s view of nature is essentially mystical. Synge’s contribution to little magazines is used to trace the development of his work, showing how the illustrations chosen for his article ‘The Last Fortress of the Celt’ work to compound Synge’s presentation of the Irish peasant as a member of the global primitive. Finally, this is shown to have a socialistic dimension through Synge’s writings about forms of labour, in which the vagrant figure, through the rejection of the unequal exchange of time and capital, is freed into a sort of religious state which Synge then associates with the opposition between ‘vigorous’ and Decadent art.

Full text
Abstract:
Some of the best evidence for combinatorial evolution comes from studies of molecular evolution. This chapter discusses combinatorial molecular evolution and shows that it is facilitated by the same properties of the molecular phenotype—modularity and flexibility—that facilitate combinatorial evolution at higher levels of organization. This is not a review of molecular or genomic evolution, and I am aware that by the time it is published it will lack the latest references even on the few topics discussed. I suspect that continued progress will only make the main point of this chapter more obvious: in many respects, evolution at the molecular level follows the same pattern as that seen at higher levels of organization, for it involves modular reorganization and developmental plasticity as architects of evolutionary change. A combinatorial view of structural change has long been commonplace in chemistry, since all of the materials of the organic and inorganic world come from different combinations of only 112 elements listed in the periodic table. Since biochemistry and molecular biology focus on the fundamentally modular structure and behavior of biological molecules, it is perhaps not surprising that they arrived early at a combinatorial view of evolution, and that it was a molecular biologist (Jacob, 1977) who described evolution as “tinkering” with preexisting pieces. The lowest level of combinatorial evolution is based on the “changeability” of the genetic code— its ability to undergo rearrangement without loss of functionality (Maeshiro and Kimura, 1998). A reorganizational basis for some kinds of mutation was also proposed by premolecular geneticists like H. J. Muller (see discussion of this work in Huxley, 1942, p. 92), who saw minute rearrangements as a kind of mutation distinguishable from “substantive” change of the chromosomal-damage type caused by ultraviolet radiation. More recently, Dickinson (1988) refers to a “combinatorial” model for the evolution of gene regulation. And genetic engineering makes extensive use of combinatorial principles in creating novel substances and genes.
