Energy Partitioning between Different-sized Organisms and Ecosystem Stability
The metabolic approach to ecology presented by Brown et al. (2004) stems from the seminal work of West et al. (1997). They hypothesized that material transport within living beings is organized such as to minimize the scaling of total hydrodynamic resistance through vascular networks. Based on this assumption, the organismal metabolic power P was theoretically predicted to scale with body mass ...
متن کاملAssignment of Different-Sized Inputs in MapReduce
A MapReduce algorithm can be described by a mapping schema, which assigns inputs to a set of reducers, such that for each required output there exists a reducer that receives all the inputs that participate in the computation of this output. Reducers have a capacity, which limits the sets of inputs that they can be assigned. However, individual inputs may vary in terms of size. We consider, for...
متن کاملKinetochore microtubule numbers of different sized chromosomes
For three species of grasshoppers the volumes of the largest and the smallest metaphase chromosome differ by a factor of 10, but the microtubules (MTs) attached to the individual kinetochores show no corresponding range in numbers. Locusta mitotic metaphase chromosomes range from 2 to 21 mum, and the average number of MTs per kinetochore is 21 with an SD of 4.6. Locusta meiotic bivalents at lat...
متن کاملTextual Characteristics of Different-sized Corpora
Recently, textual characteristics, i.e. certain language statistics, have been proposed to compare corpora originating from different genres and domains, to give guidance in language engineering processes and to estimate the transferability of natural language processing algorithms from one corpus to another. However, until now it is unclear how these textual characteristics behave for differen...
