Trade-offs in Energy Allocation During Lactation
SYNOPSIS. During lactation, mothers require energy to meet both maternal and offspring requirements. If a mother exports too much energy to dependent offspring (in milk), her weight loss may be excessive and maternal risk may increase. Conversely, too little energy allocation to offspring may reduce the growth rate or induce mortality of dependent offspring. This paradigm was evaluated in cotto...
متن کاملPooled Energy Budgets: Resituating Human Energy Allocation Trade-offs
Across taxa, many life-history traits vary as a function of differences in body size. Among primates, including humans, allometric relationships explain many trends in metabolic, growth, reproductive, and mortality rates. But humans also deviate from nonhuman primates with respect to other developmental, reproductive, and parenting characteristics. Broad relationships between life-history trait...
متن کاملMitochondrial function and bioenergetic trade‐offs during lactation in the house mouse (Mus musculus)
Energy allocation theory predicts that a lactating female should alter the energetic demands of its organ systems in a manner that maximizes nutrient allocation to reproduction while reducing nutrient use for tasks that are not vital to immediate survival. We posit that organ-specific plasticity in the function of mitochondria plays a key role in mediating these energetic trade-offs. The goal o...
متن کاملEnergy-Privacy Trade-Offs in VLSI Computations
VLSI circuits are open to sidechannel attacks which disclose information about its internal state to an adversary. Privacy is a design attribute to quantify the circuit’s resistance and resilience to sidechannel attacks. There has been some recent work in cryptography to capture the notion of privacy in circuits. Several constructions to transform a circuit into a private circuit have also been...
متن کاملTrade-offs in Context Identifier Allocation in MPI
The notion of communicators is one of the most central concepts in the Message Passing Interface (MPI), allowing the library developers to contextualize their message exchanges, and scope different algorithms to well-defined groups of processes, and allowing the MPI implementation to specialize its matching and deliver messages in the right context. Due to its collective nature, the communicato...
