Abstract:
... Single particle breakage characterisation at fine sizes for use in mill modelling has been addressed by only a few researchers and is not utilised in engineering design. This is mainly due to the challenge of accurately imparting a range of impact energies to sub-millimetre particles and then measuring the progeny size distribution for the tiny resultant mass. In order to fill this gap, a disperse ...

Abstract:
... Phages must be perfectly attuned to bacterial host cell physiology to ensure their optimal survival. Silpe and Bassler show that a Vibrio phage uses the host quorum-sensing pathway to trigger production of viral progeny at high cell density. ...

Abstract:
... For animals in which parents provide food to their offspring, young often communicate their need to parents through elaborate begging behavior. Using a multispecies approach involving 3 burying beetle species, we show that offspring that are highly dependent on parental provisioning invest the most time in begging for food, whereas offspring that are nutritionally independent invest the least time ...

Abstract:
... In this paper we review and update evidence relevant to formulating a behavior system for sexual learning. We emphasize behavioral rather than neurobiological evidence and mechanisms. Our analysis focuses on three types of responses or response modes: general search, focal search, and consummatory or copulatory behavior. We consider how these response modes are influenced by three categories of st ...

Abstract:
... This paper presents an improved genetic algorithm using novel crossover and mutation (IGA-NCM) to solve the combined heat and power economic dispatch (CHPED) problems. The basic genetic algorithm (GA) has been augmented in three aspects. First, the selection operation is excluded from GA in order to avoid excessive losses of population diversity. Second, two kinds of adaptive crossover operations ...

Abstract:
... Individual variation in resource acquisition should have consequences for life‐history traits and trade‐offs between them because such variation determines how many resources can be allocated to different life‐history functions, such as growth, survival and reproduction. Since resource acquisition can vary across an individual's life cycle, the consequences for life‐history traits and trade‐offs m ...

Abstract:
... Theory suggests that intraspecific competition associated with direct competition between inbred and outbred individuals should be an important determinant of the severity of inbreeding depression. The reason is that, if outbred individuals are stronger competitors than inbred ones, direct competition should have a disproportionate effect on the fitness of inbred individuals. However, an individua ...

Abstract:
... Apomixis or asexual reproduction through seeds occurs in about 400 species of flowering plants producing genetically uniform progeny. During apomixis, meiosis is bypassed and embryos develop by parthenogenesis. However, the endosperm could form either autonomously without fertilization or sexually, depending on the plant species. Most probably, a heterochronic expression of sexually expressed gene ...

Abstract:
... Intraguild predation and cannibalism are important behaviors that provide resources and influence interactions between different predators. Cannibalistic species should have a mechanism to identify offspring and suppress predation. We tested this hypothesis using two nonnative species of pholcid spiders in Ohio, Pholcus phalangioides and Pholcus manueli. In the laboratory we allowed females of bot ...
