There is a critical need for tools and methodologies capable of managing aquatic systems in the face of uncertain future conditions. We provide methods for conducting a targeted watershed assessment that enables resource managers to produce landscape-based cumulative effects models for use within a scenario analysis management framework.

We present development of a gaze-contingent display framework designed for perceptual and oculomotor research simulating central vision loss. This framework is particularly adaptable for studying compensatory behavioral and oculomotor strategies in individuals experiencing both simulated and pathological central vision loss.

Here we describe a molecular readout of long-term olfactory adaptation in Caenorhabditis elegans. The Protein Kinase G, EGL-4, is necessary for stable adaptation responses in the primary sensory neuron pair called AWC. During prolonged odor exposure EGL-4 translocates from the cytosol to nucleus of the AWC.

Cellular Adaptation II: Hypertrophy

Hypertrophy is the increase in the size of individual cells, resulting in the enlargement of a tissue or organ. Unlike hyperplasia, which involves an increase in cell number, hypertrophy is characterized by an increase in cell volume. This process often occurs in response to higher functional demand or hormonal stimulation, leading to the production of more structural proteins and organelles, thereby enhancing the cells' work capacity.There are two primary types of hypertrophy: physiological...

Source: Jian, X., et al., Automated Microbial Cultivation and Adaptive Evolution using Microbial Microdroplet Culture System (MMC). J. Vis. Exp. (2022).This video demonstrates the use of a microbial microdroplet culture system to drive adaptive evolution of bacteria toward methanol tolerance. By mixing engineered bacterial cultures with a high-methanol stress medium and segmenting them into microdroplets, the system selects for mutants that exhibit improved growth under methanol stress. Through...
FAQs
Monitoring supplies observations about changing requirements, operating conditions, or system performance. Feedback compares those observations with intended behavior and informs the next adjustment. Decision rules then determine whether to change control parameters, reallocate resources, or reconfigure components. This separation helps an engineered system respond consistently rather than relying on ad hoc redesign.
Modular components allow selected parts of a system to change while the overall structure remains intact. An adaptive framework can therefore reconfigure behavior or resources without redesigning the entire system. This approach supports continued operation when requirements or information change, while limiting the scope of adjustments needed to maintain function and manage risk.
Effectiveness depends on how well the framework detects deviations, receives relevant information, and applies suitable decision rules. Changing requirements, uncertain operating conditions, available resources, and system performance can all influence the required response. When these factors are incorporated into monitoring and feedback, the system is better positioned to remain effective over time.
An engineering workflow begins by identifying relevant requirements, conditions, or performance measures. The system then monitors for deviations and uses feedback to interpret changing information. Decision rules select an adjustment, such as changing control parameters, reallocating resources, or reconfiguring components. Engineers can then evaluate whether the revised behavior maintains function and manages risk.
Adaptive frameworks are most relevant when requirements, operating conditions, or available information may change during a system’s use. They are especially useful where uncertainty could affect performance and where full redesign would be impractical. In these situations, monitored adjustments can help preserve function and responsiveness while supporting longer-term system resilience.
The approach applies to autonomous systems, infrastructure management, manufacturing, and software development. Across these settings, monitoring and feedback can guide changes in behavior, resources, or control parameters as conditions shift. The intended outcomes include improved responsiveness, maintained function, better risk management, and systems that remain effective as requirements and information evolve.
