To Pool or Not To Pool? Revisiting an Old Pattern
We revisit the well-known object-pool design pattern in Java. In the last decade, the pattern has attracted a lot of criticism regarding its validity when used for light-weight objects that are only meant to hold memory rather than any other resources (database connections, sockets etc.) and in fact, common opinion holds that is an “anti-pattern” in such cases. Nevertheless, we show through sev...
متن کاملRockpool Gobies Change Colour for Camouflage
Camouflage is found in a wide range of species living in numerous habitat types, offering protection from visually guided predators. This includes many species from the intertidal zone, which must cope with background types diverse in appearance and with multiple predator groups foraging at high and low tide. Many animals are capable of either relatively slow (hours, days, weeks) or rapid (seco...

Increased greenhouse gases and the associated rise in temperature have been implicated in melting glaciers, rising sea levels, acidification of marine and freshwater systems, increased ultraviolet-B radiation and increased fire frequency. The past century has seen a nearly 1 °C rise in global average temperature1, with up to 7 °C of ...
متن کاملLateralized behavior in the attacks of largemouth bass on Rhinogobius gobies corresponding to their morphological antisymmetry.
Vertebrates show left-right biases in turning direction, limb usage, predator-escape response and use of sensory organs. In particular, some fishes are known to have lateral biases in predatory behaviors corresponding to their morphological antisymmetry. To reveal the effects of these laterally biased behaviors on predator-prey interaction, we conducted behavioral tests of predatory events betw...
