orphan date December 2008 The universality diversity paradigm is the analysis of biological materials based on the universality and diversity of its fundamental structural elements and functional mechanisms. The analysis of biological systems based on this classification has been a cornerstone of modern biology . For example, protein s constitute the elementary building blocks of a vast variety of biological materials such as cells, spider silk or bone, where they create extremely robust, multi functional materials by self organization of structures over many length and time scales, from nano to macro. Some of the structural features are commonly found in a many different tissues, that is, they are highly conserved. Examples of such universal building blocks include alpha helices, beta sheets or tropocollagen molecules. In contrast, other features are highly specific to tissue types, such as particular filament assemblies, beta sheet nanocrystals in spider silk or tendon fascicles. This coexistence of universality and diversity referred to as the universality diversity paradigm UDP is an overarching feature in biological materials and a crucial component of materiomics . It might provide guidelines for bioinspired and biomimetic material development, where this concept is translated into the use of inorganic or hybrid organic inorganic building blocks.

Systems display universality in a scaling limit, when a large number of interacting parts come together. The modern meaning of the term was introduced by Leo Kadanoff in the 1960s, but a simpler version of the concept was already implicit in the van der Waals equation and in the earlier Landau theory of phase transitions, which did not incorporate scaling correctly.

TOC right Will , in Western philosophy philosophical discussions, consonant with a common English usage, refers to a property of the mind, and an attribute of acts intention ally performed. Actions made according to a person s will are called willing or voluntary and sometimes pejoratively willful . In general, Will does not refer to one particular or most preferred desire but rather to the general capacity to have such desiderata and act decisively to achieve them, according to whatever criteria the willing agent applies. The will is in turn important within philosophy because a person s will is one of the most distinct parts of their mind , along with reason and nous understanding . It is one of the things which makes a person who they are, and it is especially important in ethics , because it is the part which determines whether people act, at least when they act deliberately.

Berlin and Kay s work proposed that the kinds of basic color term s a culture has, such as black , brown or red , are predictable by the number of color terms the culture has. Berlin and Kay posit seven levels in which cultures fall, with Stage I language s having only the colors black dark cool and white light warm . Languages in Stage VII have eight or more basic color terms. This includes English language English , which has eleven basic color terms. The authors theorize that as languages evolve, they acquire new basic color terms in a strict chronological sequence if a basic color term is found in a language, then the colors of all earlier stages should also be present. The sequence is as follows Stage I Dark cool and light warm this covers a larger set of colors than English black and white . Stage II Red Stage III Either green or yellow Stage IV Both green and yellow Stage V Blue Stage VI Brown Stage VII Purple, pink, orange, or grey The work has achieved widespread influence. However, the constraints in color term ordering have been substantially loosened, both by Berlin and Kay in later publications, and by various critics.
