position, physiological reactions etc. Even organisms as simple as amoeba (photo) show behaviours. As biologists, it is important that we get to grips with the adaptive nature of behaviour as well as physical adaptations. The study of animal behaviour is called ethology.

There is a need to define unambiguously the most important measurement concepts used in the measurement of software products. One way of doing so is to define precisely what mathematical properties characterize these concepts, regardless of the specific

Unity and Variety 1 The Concepts of Unity and Variety Let's begin by listening to two fundamental concepts that make a piece of music "work"—the concepts of unity and variety.
