A novel method we refer to as the tie-line field (TLF) method has been developed to globally determine the tie lines of any three-component two-phase coexistence region by fitting electron-spin resonance (ESR) spectra obtained from compositions on the coexistence curve and within the coexistence region. The TLF method is illustrated by applying it to the liquid-ordered (Lo) and liquid-disordere...

The rate at which organisms are able to forage for food affects the rate at which they can grow, and thus foraging strategies are crucial for almost any organism. In the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum (Dicty), it is known that cell-cell communication plays an important role in aggregation of the cells, and thus we ask if it plays a similarly important role in foraging. In particular, we...

Cognitive radio (CR) is seen as one of the enabling technologies for realizing a new regulatory spectrum management paradigm, viz. opportunistic spectrum sharing (OSS). In the OSS paradigm, unlicensed users (a.k.a. secondary users) opportunistically operate in fallow licensed spectrum on a non-interference basis to licensed users (a.k.a. incumbent or primary users). Incumbent users have absolut...

Although there is a large body of theory on spatial competitive coexistence, very little of it involves comparative analyses of alternative mechanisms. We thus have limited knowledge of the conditions under which multiple spatial mechanisms can operate or of emergent properties arising from interactions between mechanisms. Here we present a mathematical framework that allows for comparative ana...

This letter introduced a new R package ‘coexist’ which can perform species coexistence simulation and analysis. The package was initially developed for understanding the role of different combinations of varying species growth rates, dispersal ability, habitat heterogeneity, and competition interaction on influencing species coexistence under fluctuating environment. Further versions could intr...

Species diversity in nature is accomplished by coexistence. In a spatial environment, inferior but rapidly moving species can coexist with superior but relatively stationary species. Recent work showed that chaotic dynamics can provide the spatiotemporal variation in the fitness required for coexistence, via the dynamical mechanism of synchronization and intermittency. Utilizing a realistic mod...

Background: The coexistence of human beings requires the observance of moral etiquette, which is called civil ethics in ethics and leads to normative order. In order for civil ethics to have an executive guarantee, a set of laws was formed in the society under the title of civil procedure. One of the lawsuits in this regard is the harassment lawsuit. There are complex issues in the harassment l...

In the context of Pakistan, connection between religion and politics predates its existence. Islam was faith on which All India Muslim League based demand for a separate country India's Muslims. Since independence in 1947, country's political constitutional evolution has been significantly influenced by religion; as political, economic, social, debates centred Islam. always major theme official...
