Can alloethism in workers of the bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, be explained in terms of foraging efficiency?
Bumblebee workers vary greatly in size, unlike workers of most other social bees. This variability has not been adequately explained. In many social insects, size variation is adaptive, with different-sized workers performing different tasks (alloethism). Here we established whether workers of the bumblebee, Bombus terrestris (L.) (Hymenoptera; Apidae), exhibit alloethism. We quantified the siz...
متن کاملGeneral anesthetic-induced seizures can be explained by a mean-field model of cortical dynamics.
GENERAL anesthesia is a state in which cerebral activity is usually profoundly suppressed. It is paradoxical that some general anesthetic agents—drugs whose primary action is to decrease central nervous system activity and that have been widely used to treat seizures—can also provoke cortical seizures when the patient is deeply anesthetized. Traditionally, the explanation for this phenomenon ha...
متن کاملHow much in the Universe can be explained by geometry ?
The paper uses geometrical arguments to derive equations with relevance for cosmology; 5-dimensional spacetime is assumed because it has been shown in other works to provide a setting for significant unification of different areas of physics. Monogenic functions, which zero the vector derivative are shown to effectively model electrodynamics and relativistic dynamics if one allows for space cur...
متن کاملCan Nomenclature for the Body be Explained by Embodiment Theories?
According to widespread opinion, the meaning of body part terms is determined by salient discontinuities in the visual image; such that hands, feet, arms, and legs, are natural parts. If so, one would expect these parts to have distinct names which correspond in meaning across languages. To test this proposal, we compared three unrelated languages-Dutch, Japanese, and Indonesian-and found both ...
متن کاملCan subcellular organization be explained only by physical principles?
In a recent forum article, Dan Needleman and Jan Brugues argue that, despite the astonishing advances in cell biology, a fundamental understanding of even the most well-studied subcellular biological processes is lacking.(1) This lack of understanding is evidenced by our inability to make precise predictions of subcellular and cellular behaviors. They suggest that to achieve such an understandi...
