1. A possible origin of life in nonpolar environments NSTL国家科技图书文献中心

Vitas, Marko | Dobovisek, Andrej - 《BioSystems》 - 2025,247 - 共8页

摘要：Explaining the emergence of life is perhaps the central and most challenging question in modern science. We are proposing a new hypothesis concerning the origins of life. The new hypothesis is based o...

2. Is Darwinian selection a retrograde driving force of evolution? NSTL国家科技图书文献中心

Vitas, Marko | Dobovisek, Andrej - 《BioSystems》 - 2023,233 - ARTN 105031～ - 共8页

摘要：Modern science has still not provided a satisfactory empirical explanation for the increasing complexity of living organisms through evolutionary history. As no agreed-upon definitions of the complexi...

7. HESIODIC INFLUENCE ON PLATO'S MYTH OF THE CICADAS

Vitas, Marko - 《Plato》 - 2023,24 - 21～28 - 共8页

摘要：This paper argues that Plato's Myth of the Cicadas from the Phaedrus (258e-259d) alludes to Hesiod's Myth of the Golden Race (Op. 109-126). Among other parallels, Hesiod's Golden Race and Plato's Cica...

8. Self-Organization of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions Studied by the Maximum Entropy Production Principle

Dobovisek, Andrej | Vitas, Marko ... - 《international journal of molecular sciences》 - 2023,24(10) - 共21页

摘要：The self-organization of open reaction systems is closely related to specific mechanisms that allow the export of internally generated entropy from systems to their environment. According to the secon...
