TEXT="#080000"> <div> <I>Biological Systems Theory</I></div> <div> Biological systems theory is a level of natural systems that deals with the structure and patterning of living systems. A living system might best be defined as a system that is capable of independent self-replication and of maintaining itself in terms of its own internal energy equilibrium, within a greater abiotic environment. The line between a biotic and a-biotic system, or a living or non-living system, is not clear-cut. Viruses seem to lie right along that line--possessing the informational machinery for self-replication, but lacking the ability to independently replicate outside of the environment established by another cellular organism.</div> <bR> <div> Success of any living system appears fundamentally to be tied directly to the capacity of that system to adjust to and survive in a wide range of varying environmental conditions--the greater the range of variability of adaptive survival of an organism, the more "successful" we must consider that system as a biological system.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="1c84e350.png" border=0 width="78" height="53" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Sorry for the Inconvenience!</div> <bR> <div> <B>You have reached the current limit of our web-construction activities, please turn back and explore other avenues!</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1c93e330.png" border=0 width="574" height="51" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  <script language="Javascript" src="https://seal.starfieldtech.com/getSeal?sealID=720039320071f8c61f12710b91e37cc117a4b091897591454247040"></script>  </div> <bR> <div>  <p align="center"> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> s="na";c="na";j="na";f=""+escape(document.referrer) </script> <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript"> s=screen.width;v=navigator.appName if (v != "Netscape") {c=screen.colorDepth} else {c=screen.pixelDepth} j=navigator.javaEnabled() </script> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function pr(n) {document.write(n,"\n");} NS2Ch=0 if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == "2") {NS2Ch=1} if (NS2Ch == 0) { r="&size="+s+"&colors="+c+"&referer="+f+"&java="+j+"" pr("<A HREF=\"http://www.TheCounter.com\" TARGET=\"_top\"><IMG"+ " BORDER=0 SRC=\"http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383"+r+"\"><\/A>")} </script> <NOSCRIPT> <a HREF="http://www.TheCounter.com" TARGET="_top"><img SRC="http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383" ALT="TC" BORDER="0" width="88" height="31"></a> </NOSCRIPT>   </div> <bR> <div>    </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
