The energy–speed–accuracy trade-off in sensory adaptation

Stress, genomic adaptation, and the evolutionary trade-off

Cells are constantly exposed to various internal and external stresses. The importance of cellular stress and its implication to disease conditions have become popular research topics. Many ongoing investigations focus on the sources of stress, their specific molecular mechanisms and interactions, especially regarding their contributions to many common and complex diseases through defined molec...

Phenotypic plasticity as an adaptation to a functional trade-off

We report the evolution of a phenotypically plastic behavior that circumvents the hardwired trade-off that exists when resources are partitioned between growth and motility in Escherichia coli. We propagated cultures in a cyclical environment, alternating between growth up to carrying capacity and selection for chemotaxis. Initial adaptations boosted overall swimming speed at the expense of gro...

The Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the" Sensory Processing Measure-Preschool" in Children

The aim of this study was investigating psychometric properties of the Sensory Processing Measure-Preschool (SPM-P) to achieve a reliable tool for measuring the sensory processing Challenges of children. This research was a descriptive of analytical kind. After translation, adaptation and some modifications, 384 children aged between 2 and 5 years of kindergartens in the city of Tehran was chos...

Uncertainty trade-off and disturbance trade-off for quantum measurements

An important non-classical feature of quantum measurements is the celebrated uncertainty trade-off, namely that the uncertainties in the outcomes of measurements performed on distinct yet identically prepared ensembles of systems cannot all be made arbitrarily small. Recently, we have shown that quantum measurements also exhibit another non-classical feature of disturbance trade-off namely, tha...
