Marriage of Two Complete Albinos with Normally Pigmented Offspring

Evidence of an inflammatory-like response in non-normally pigmented tissues of two scleractinian corals.

Increasing evidence of links between climate change, anthropogenic stress and coral disease underscores the importance of understanding the mechanisms by which reef-building corals resist infection and recover from injury. Cellular inflammation and melanin-producing signalling pathway are two mechanisms employed by invertebrates to remove foreign organisms such as pathogens, but they have not b...

Successful Manipulation in Stable Marriage Model with Complete Preference Lists

This paper deals with a strategic issue in the stable marriage model with complete preference lists (i.e., a preference list of an agent is a permutation of all the members of the opposite sex). Given complete preference lists of nmen over n women, and a marriage μ, we consider the problem for finding preference lists of n women over n men such that the men-proposing deferred acceptance algorit...

Stable Marriage with Covering Constraints-A Complete Computational Trichotomy

We consider stable marriage problems equipped with covering constraints: here the input distinguishes a subset of women as well as a subset of men, and we seek a matching with fewest number of blocking pairs that matches all of the distinguished people. This concept strictly generalizes the notion of arranged marriages introduced by Knuth in 1976, in which the partner of each distinguished pers...

Paternal age predicts offspring chances of marriage and reproduction.

OBJECTIVES Mutation-selection balance theory proposes that a balance of forces between constantly arising mildly harmful mutations and selection causes variation in genetic configuration and phenotypic condition. As mutations are predominantly deleterious, the entry of variation due to mutations is kept at low frequencies by selection. It has recently been demonstrated that nearly all de novo m...
