Life-history theory predicts that increased resource allocation in current reproduction comes at the cost of survival and future reproductive fitness. In taxa with biparental care, each parent can adjust investment on according to changes their partner’s effort, but these adjustments may be different for males females as they have strategies. Numerous theoretical empirical studies proposed mech...

a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:513:"Obesity has become a major health problem across the world. In women, it is known to cause anovulation, sub-fecundity, increased risk of fetal anomalies and miscarriage rates. However, in women going for assisted reproduction the effects of obesity on egg quality, embryo quality, clinical pregnancy, live birth rates are controversial To assess the effect of women's...

The quality and timbre of disordered voices heavily rely on the vibration properties vocal folds. We discuss representation sagittal phase differences in fold oscillations through a numerical biomechanical model involving lumped elements as well distributed elements, i.e., delay lines. A dynamic glottal source is proposed which displacement along vertical dimensions modelled using In contrast t...

To curb the impact and transmission of worms and virus for simple mass action incidence rate in computer networks, SI1I2RS (Susceptible, Infectious due to worm, Infectious due to virus, Recovered and Susceptible) model have been formed. Basic reproduction number, endemic equilibrium state and their stability are discussed for the simple mass action incidence. For locally and globally asymptotic...
