Experimental test of a trade-off between moult and immune response in house sparrows Passer domesticus.
A trade-off between immune system and moulting is predicted in birds, given that both functions compete for resources. However, it is unclear whether such a trade-off exists during post-breeding moult. This study tests such a trade-off in the house sparrow (Passer domesticus). Males injected with an antigen (lipopolysaccharide) significantly moulted slower than sham-injected males. Moreover, ma...
متن کاملA Trade-Off between Reproduction and Feather Growth in the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)
Physiological trade-offs mediated by limiting energy, resources or time constrain the simultaneous expression of major functions and can lead to the evolution of temporal separation between demanding activities. In birds, plumage renewal is a demanding activity, which accomplishes fundamental functions, such as allowing thermal insulation, aerodynamics and socio-sexual signaling. Feather renewa...
متن کاملIndividual-learning ability predicts social-foraging strategy in house sparrows.
Social foragers can use either a 'producer' strategy, which involves searching for food, or a 'scrounger' strategy, which involves joining others' food discoveries. While producers rely on personal information and past experience, we may ask whether the tendency to forage as a producer is related to being a better learner. To answer this question, we hand-raised house sparrow (Passer domesticus...

مطالعات قبلی بازار بیمه را به صورت کلی در نظر می گرفتند اما در این مطالعه صنعت بیمه به عنوان متغیر مستفل به بیمه های زندگی و غیر زندگی شکسته شده و هم چنین بیمه های زندگی به رشته های مختلف بیمه ای که در بازار بیمه ایران سهم قابل توجهی دارند تقسیم میشود. با استفاده از روشهای اقتصاد سنجی داده های برای دوره های 48-89 از مراکز ملی داده جمع آوری شد سپس با تخمین مدل خود بازگشتی برداری همراه با تعدادی ...
15 صفحه اولStochastic Congestion Alleviation with a Trade-off between Demand Response Resources and Load Shedding
Under the smart grid environments, Demand Response Resources (DRRs) as power system resources can effectively participate in and improve performance of electric systems. Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in which DRRs can play a significant role. Previously, congestion management is applied without considering the power system uncertainties. Therefore, a stochastic conges...
