Depletion-controlled starvation of a diffusing forager.
We study the starvation of a lattice random walker in which each site initially contains one food unit and the walker can travel S steps without food before starving. When the walker encounters food, it is completely eaten, and the walker can again travel S steps without food before starving. When the walker hits an empty site, the time until the walker starves decreases by 1. In spatial dimens...
متن کاملVariability of the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 Flexibility Without Significant Change in the Initial Conformation of the Protein or Its Environment; a Computational Study
Background: Protein flexibility, which has been referred as a dynamic behavior has various roles in proteins’ functions. Furthermore, for some developed tools in bioinformatics, such as protein-protein docking software, considering the protein flexibility, causes a higher degree of accuracy. Through undertaking the present work, we have accomplished the quantification plus analysis of the varia...
متن کاملCounterintuitive density-dependent growth in a long-lived vertebrate after removal of nest predators.
Examining the phenotypic and genetic underpinnings of life-history variation in long-lived organisms is central to the study of life-history evolution. Juvenile growth and survival are often density dependent in reptiles, and theory predicts the evolution of slow growth in response to low resources (resource-limiting hypothesis), such as under densely populated conditions. However, rapid growth...
متن کاملDensity dependence in Caenorhabditis larval starvation
Availability of food is often a limiting factor in nature. Periods of food abundance are followed by times of famine, often in unpredictable patterns. Reliable information about the environment is a critical ingredient of successful survival strategy. One way to improve accuracy is to integrate information communicated by other organisms. To test whether such exchange of information may play a ...
متن کاملBone density in transfusion dependent thalassemia patients in Urmia, Iran
Background Patients with thalassemia major and intermedia are susceptible to osteopenia and osteoporosis. The mechanism of osteoporosis in these patients is multifactorial. Transfusion related iron overload in endocrine organs leads to impaired growth hormone secretion, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, lack of sex steroids and vitamin D deficiency that contribute t...
