Strength in numbers? Not always!
We propose a simple model to compute the probability of success under a quorum sensing strategy. We show that a quorum sensing strategy has a higher probability of success than an individualistic strategy when, for instance, the probability of success for a single individual is low and the cost of building a quorum is not too high. On the other hand if the cost of building a quorum is too high ...
متن کاملIt's about numbers, not pictures.
THE ARTICLE IN THE CURRENT issue by Horn and colleagues (4) from Sheffield presents a significant change in the manner in which MRI in the lung using hyperpolarized gas (He in this case, but also potentially Xe) is used. Since its inception, hyperpolarized gas imaging has shown an ability to produce images of gas distribution in the lungs of both animals and humans, sometimes with stunning leve...
متن کاملBenchmarking for Distributed Memory Parallel Systems: Gaining Insight from Numbers
The inherent diiculties of benchmarking parallel computers and the motivation behind the development of the GENESIS benchmark suite introduce the paper. Some of the broader issues that must be taken into account with any rigorous benchmarking effort on a distributed memory system are then discussed together with a relevant example. The initial version of the GENESIS benchmarks was used to evalu...
متن کاملWhen numbers do not add up!
A 62-year-old gentleman was admitted to the surgical admissions unit in 2009 with a history of vomiting and abdominal pain on a background of abnormal renal (urea 13.6mmol/l, creatinine 165 umol/l) and liver function tests (alanine transaminase 48U/l, gamma glutamyl transaminase 100U/l, alkaline phosphatase 156 u/l). Blood pressure was 170/120mmHg on admission and a 12-lead electrocardiogram (E...
متن کاملInsight Is Not in the Problem: Investigating Insight in Problem Solving across Task Types
The feeling of insight in problem solving is typically associated with the sudden realization of a solution that appears obviously correct (Kounios et al., 2006). Salvi et al. (2016) found that a solution accompanied with sudden insight is more likely to be correct than a problem solved through conscious and incremental steps. However, Metcalfe (1986) indicated that participants would often pre...
