Strong Alliances in Graphs
For any simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a defensive alliance is a subset $S$ of $V$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $vin S$ has at most one more neighbour in $V-S$ than it has in $S$. The minimum cardinality of any defensive alliance in $G$ is called the alliance number of $G$, denoted $a(G)$. In this paper, we introduce a new type of alliance number called $k$-strong alliance numb...
متن کاملCoevolution in variable mutualisms.
Many mutualistic interactions are probably not mutualistic across all populations and years. This article explores consequences of this observation with a series of genetic models that consider how variable mutualisms coevolve. The first models, previously introduced in a general coevolutionary context, consider two coevolving species whose fitness interactions change between beneficial and ant...

متن کاملFunctional plasticity in the hippocampal
Processes of functional plasticity such as hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are regarded as cellular mechanisms underlying learning and memory formation. LTP and LTD are used as suitable models for the investigation of the latter processes. During the last decades LTP was intensively investigated. However, less is known about LTD and its relation to learni...
متن کاملFunctional decline in old age.
Functional decline is a common condition, occurring each year in nearly 12% of Canadians 75 years of age and older. The model of functional health proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) represents a useful theoretical framework and is the basis for the SMAF (Système de measure de l'autonomie fonctionelle or Functional Autonomy Measurement System), an instrument that measures functional...
