Adapter Pattern

Since a major component of an agent s environment consists of other agents, agents generally spend a great deal of their time adapting to the adaptation patterns...

The Adapter Pattern converts the interface of a class into another interface that the clients expect. Adapter lets classes work together that could not otherwise because of incompatible interfaces. 

A code example of the Adapter Pattern that leverages the Vendor A solution for Mofile-Smiles conversion and still adapts to the MolfileSmiles Converter interface is as follows ...

Olfactory-induced behavior of many insects is known to vary as a function of age, experience and/or environmental conditions. Investment in different behavioral repertoires can often be directly correlated to different adaptive patterns older, unmated individuals become more prone to react to a sex-pheromone stimulus, mated females become more motivated to respond to odors emanating from a suitable oviposition site and a hungry insect will more readily respond to food associated odours.

The first four terms of the function are commonly found in molecular mechanics strain energy functions, and they are modified Hooke s law functions. The last term has been added to insure the proper stereochemistry about asymmetric atoms. A model is refined by minimizing the highly nonlinear strain energy function with respect to the atomic coordinates. An adaptive pattern search routine is used for the strain energy minimization because it does not require analytical derivatives. The time necessary to obtain good molecular models depends on the number of atoms in the molecule, the flexibility of the structure, and the quality of the starting model.

Persons who never have been able to make a satisfactory adjustment to life, whose adaptive patterns of behavior have been inadequate, find in morphine a means of return to normal, but persons who have made a marginal degree of emotional adjustment to life, and then have begun to use drugs, lose some of their normal adjustment to life. This regression in personality represents one of the great costs of drug addiction.

There are numerous traditional and contemporary masters in the craft of pattemmaking such as Aldrich (2009), Bray (1966), Kunick (1967), Armstrong (2006), Muller and Sohn (1997), to name a few. Each has a particular approach, technical nuance and preferred set of technical instmctions on how to best construct, draft or adapt patterns for apparels. A patternmakers preferred method, formula or process is similar to a favourite cooking recipe. It is a method that can be relied on to achieve a successful outcome. The ability to assess the variety of elements and components and combine a complex range of inputs to achieve a successful outcome is what determines an adept patternmaker. 

Our knowledge of serum amino acid patterns during infusions is still insufficient to draw definite conclusions. However, our data are in accordance with the general view that the essential and semiessential amino acids should be supplied in a requirement adapted pattern, while the non-essential amino acids should be provided in such proportional amounts as not to distort the sertffn amino acid pattern during infusion. The interconversion of different non-essential amino acids appears not to be sufficiently rapid to abolish the effects of the infused amino acid mixture on the serum amino acid pattern during infusion.
