Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An innovative view of the role of fitness concepts in evolutionary theory. Natural selection is one of the factors responsible for changes in biological populations. Some traits or organisms are fitter than others, and natural selection occurs when there are changes in the distribution of tr…aits in populations because of fitness differences. Many philosophers of biology insist that a traits fitness should be defined as an average of the fitnesses of individual members of the population that have the trait. Marshall Abrams argues convincingly against this widespread approach. As he shows, it conflicts with the roles that fitness is supposed to play in evolutionary theory and with the ways that evolutionary biologists use fitness concepts in empirical research. The assumption that a causal kind of fitness is fundamentally a property of actual individuals has resulted in unnecessary philosophical puzzles and years of debate. Abrams came to see that the fitnesses of traits that are the basis of natural selection cannot be defined in terms of the fitnesses of actual members of populations in the way that philosophers of biologists often claim. Rather, it is an overall population-environment systemnot actual, particular organisms living in particular environmental conditionsthat is the basis of traits fitnesses. Abrams argues that by distinguishing different classes of fitness concepts and the roles they play in the practice of evolutionary biology, we can see that evolutionary biologists diverse uses of fitness concepts make sense together and are consistent with the idea that fitness differences cause evolution. Abramss insight has broad significance, for it provides a general framework for thinking about the metaphysics of biological evolution and its relations to empirical research. As such, it is a game-changing book for philosophers of biology, biologists who want deeper insight into the nature of evolution, and anyone interested in the applied philosophy of probability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the creation of a new system for measuring network performance. The author, an expert in the field, provides in-depth analysis of system design, implementation, and data analysis and reporting. This system represents a new approach to evaluating computer network servi…ces, focusing on service delivery to network customers, rather than the internal mechanics of network operation. It provides a quantitative basis for organizations to select and improve computer networks, ensuring service continues to be provided at an acceptable level. The system's data acquisition component captures all characters transmitted between a user and the computer network they are using, along with timestamps and the source of each character. Using a half-duplex model containing meaningful points of this mode, data is reduced to a standard format and indexed for easy retrieval. Statistical analysis of this data yields a variety of parameters characterizing the dialogue between network and user. This valuable resource provides organizations with the insights needed to maximize the performance of their networks. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
