  2. Sliding filament theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_filament_theory

    Cross-bridge theory states that actin and myosin form a protein complex (classically called actomyosin) by attachment of myosin head on the actin filament, thereby forming a sort of cross-bridge between the two filaments. The sliding filament theory is a widely accepted explanation of the mechanism that underlies muscle contraction.

  3. Seven Bridges of Königsberg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Bridges_of_Königsberg

    The problem was to devise a walk through the city that would cross each of those bridges once and only once. By way of specifying the logical task unambiguously, solutions involving either reaching an island or mainland bank other than via one of the bridges, or; accessing any bridge without crossing to its other end; are explicitly unacceptable.

  4. Developmental systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_systems_theory

    Developmental systems theory (DST) is an overarching theoretical perspective on biological development, heredity, and evolution. [1] It emphasizes the shared contributions of genes , environment, and epigenetic factors on developmental processes.

  5. Social ecological model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_ecological_model

    Bronfenbrenner made his Ecological systems theory to explain how everything in a child and the child's environment affects how a child grows and develops. In his original theory, Bronfenbrenner postulated that in order to understand human development, the entire ecological system in which growth occurs needs to be taken into account.

  6. Developmentalism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmentalism

    Developmentalism is a cross-disciplinary school of thought [1] that gave way to an ideology of development as the key strategy towards economic prosperity. The school of thought was, in part, a reaction to the United States’ efforts to oppose national independence movements throughout Asia and Africa, which it framed as communist. [ 1 ]

  7. Endogenous growth theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogenous_growth_theory

    Endogenous growth theory holds that economic growth is primarily the result of endogenous and not external forces. [1] Endogenous growth theory holds that investment in human capital , innovation , and knowledge are significant contributors to economic growth.

    He built many bridges in his career, most of them being in South America, Australia and India. Lewis was jointly responsible for designing the rebuilt London Bridge railway station in 1844. [4] He also designed Bricklayers Arms (1844) and King's Cross railway stations (1851–52) and the Great Northern Hotel (1854).

  9. Developmental stage theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_stage_theories

    The theory of Michael Commons' model of hierarchical complexity is also relevant. The description of stages in these theories is more elaborate and focuses on underlying mechanisms of information processing rather than on reasoning as such. In fact, development in information processing capacity is invoked to explain the development of reasoning.
