Edward Cooper was a disabled pauper who died of starvation in a workhouse ‘idiot’ ward. His neglect was the result of systemic problems, exacerbated by policy, and the poor law’s free market approach to employing doctors in this period. In the 1870s community care came under assault from a policy that is known to historians as the ‘crusade against outdoor relief’. Though it sought to target ‘id...

One Column Stripping with non-increasing Area first mapping algorithm (OCSA) was proposed by Chakchai So-In et al to schedule bursts on downlinks of base station by giving priority to the largest bursts to OFDMA frame. However, size-based scheduling that favor large items are known to exhibit poor average delay performance especially under workload distributions that are highly skewed (i.e., he...

Evolution has shaped a wide variety of genomes across eukaryotic taxa. However, the forces that shape the genomes are generally unknown. Because organisms in nature commonly experience prolonged periods of nutrient depletion, we posit that diverse demographic, physiological, and genomic responses to starvation can occur. To test for these possibilities, we subjected replicate yeast populations ...

Changes in the protein, RNA and DNA content related to nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) starvation were studied in the marine dinoflagellate Heterocapsa sp. grown in batch cultures. In both cases of nutrient starvation, metabolic adaptations affected protein and RNA pools, while the DNA content per cell remained approximately constant. N starvation led to a parallel de crease in protein and RNA ...

Bacteria in natural environments are frequently exposed to nutrient starvation and survive against environmental stresses under non-growing conditions. In order to determine the energetic influence on survivability during starvation, changes in salt tolerance were investigated using the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris after carbon starvation under photosynthetic condi...

The coordination of subcellular processes during adaptation to environmental change is a key feature of biological systems. Starvation of essential nutrients slows cell cycling and ultimately causes G1 arrest, and nitrogen starvation delays G2/M progression. Here, we show that budding yeast cells can be efficiently returned to the G1 phase under starvation conditions in an autophagy-dependent m...

Lactating rats were starved for 48 h and refed a high-carbohydrate diet for a further 48 h. Starvation stops milk secretion, which resumes shortly after refeeding. Three lipogenic enzymes, fatty acid synthase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and 'malic' enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) all decrease in the mammary gland during starvation and are restored to the pre-starvation levels 48 h aft...

1. Changes in the concentrations of the minor constituents of goat's milk were observed during 48 h starvation and on refeeding. 2. The concentrations of hexose phosphate and UDP-hexoses increased during starvation and decreased on refeeding. 3. The concentrations of phosphoenolpyruvate and glycerate 3-phosphate decreased during starvation and increased on refeeding. 4. Isocitrate:2-oxoglutarat...

Abstract Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the major nutrient stresses restricting plant growth. The uptake P by plants from soil mainly mediated phosphate (Pi) transporters belonging to PHT1 family. Multiple genes diverse species have been shown be strongly up-regulated upon Pi starvation, however, underlying mechanisms for Pi-starvation-induced (PSI) up-regulation not well deciphered most t...

This paper describes the transcriptional adaptations of nongrowing, retentostat cultures of Lactococcus lactis to starvation. Near-zero-growth cultures (μ = 0.0001 h(-1)) obtained by extended retentostat cultivation were exposed to starvation by termination of the medium supply for 24 h, followed by a recovery period of another 24 h by reinitiating the medium supply to the retentostat culture. ...
