Evolving Thoughts: On devolution Although the dictionaries I have accessed do seem to say that devolution and degeneration mean retrograde (biological) evolution, this is not regarded as a biological term as such. I notice from www.dictionary.com that the word "Devolution" is a term in biology which means "degeneration". For example, the vestigial males of rotifers and other zooplankton, where the male is little more than a sperm donor and lives attached to the female, is degeneration from the ancestral form of a male, but is just evolution. evolvethought.blogspot.com /2005/06/on-devolution.html   (559 words)

Archive: Oklahoma House Votes to Require Creationism in Texts - Forums Devolution is a word that basically means decentralisation, as in my earlier reference to Scotland where the Scottish parliament now has some autonomy due to the devolution of powers from England (note this is not exactly "self rule" yet but it is getting there). Devolution is a word that basically means decentralization, as in my earlier reference to Scotland where the Scottish parliament now has some autonomy due to the devolution of powers from England (note this is not exactly "self rule" yet but it is getting there). For those historians who want to ponder the question of the biological politics of the twentieth century this book will be a useful text of reference, though some of the contributions from historians and political scientists are disappointing. www.cygnus-study.com /ubb/Archives/Archive-000001/HTML/20000515-1-000657-4.html   (4986 words)

Biology vs Evolution Therefore, by summary judgment after hundreds of default judgments, creation and devolution are declared undisputed biological science, and evolution is, has been, and always will be a pagan, superstitious, inverted-fantasy vitalism religion.

Mapping the Biodiversity Resources of the West Midlands Region Project The restoration and enhancement of depleted wildlife habitats and species populations is required across the whole landscape, not only in designated sites, in order to fulfil the objectives of the UKBAP, as part of the UK’s commitment to the Convention on Biological Diversity 1992, and the European Community Habitats and Species Directive 1992. This was maintained until the late 1980s, but has not been updated since due to the high costs involved and to devolution. This data is maintained by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, and it is regularly updated in the County Council GIS. www.wildlifetrust.org.uk /urbanwt/publications/BM.htm   (2146 words)

Nat' Academies Press, Swords into Market Shares: Technology, Economics, and Security in the New Russia (2000) Biopreparat still exerted considerable control over its institutes, although a devolution of Moscow's authority had greatly complicated the organizational structure that had been in place. As many as 5,000 of the technical personnel had significant understanding of the workings of biological weapons, and therefore could be attractive targets for the intelligence efforts of other states trying to develop the so-called poor man's weapon of mass destruction. Until the early 1990s, the activities of Biopreparat located in secluded towns and in closed enclaves in large cities had been cloaked in secrecy. www.nap.edu /books/030906841X/html/189.html   (711 words)

CHAPTER FIVE One of the principles of environment management is to maintain stable functioning relations between the living and non-living parts of the environment through preserving biological diversity and respecting the principle of optimum sustainable yield in the use of natural resources. The Decentralisation Statute (1993) is the legal framework for decentralisation or devolution of power to the district and lower level. Statutory instruments offer the flexibility to plug regulatory loop-holes in any of the statutes dealing with the conservation and sustainable utilisation of biodiversity. www.easd.org.za /Soe/Uganda/CHAP5.html   (1599 words)

The SF Site Featured Review: The Drowned World At the same time, the increased radiation produces freak mutations in Earth's flora and fauna, initiating a new biological era reminiscent of the Triassic period, in which reptiles and giant tropical plants were the dominant forms of life. For Ballard enthusiasts, it's a fascinating read, for it prefigures many of the themes that pervade his subsequent books: planetary/ecological disaster, entropy, the devolution of human nature, a preoccupation with the roots of violence. Interned in a Japanese camp during World War II, he was repatriated to England at the age of 16. www.sfsite.com /02a/dw74.htm   (1599 words)
