We develop a model to describe the development of dominance relations between social animals as they use past experiences to inform future interactions. Using the gametheoretic framework of a Hawk-Dove game with asymmetric resource-holding potentials (RHPs), we derive a simple model that describes the social interactions of animals that compete for resources. We then consider a game-playing str...

LATERALITY refers to the relationship of a cerebral function, or the symptom of its disturbance, to one cerebral hemisphere. Although the term is used mostly in connexion with handedness, aphasias, and agnosias, it has much wider implications and, in its broader sense, it constitutes the basis for localizing the lesion in cerebral hemiplegia in the opposite hemisphere. The association of right ...

Mechanotransduction is known as the cellular mechanism converting insoluble biophysical signals in the local cellular microenvironment (e.g. matrix rigidity, external mechanical forces, and fluid shear) into intracellular signalling to regulate cellular behaviours. While microfluidic technologies support a precise and independent control of soluble factors in the cellular microenvironment (e.g....

Mycoplasma contamination of eukaryotic cell cultures is a common and widely recognised problem, estimated to affect 15–80% of all long term cell lines [1]. Infection with mycoplasmas can lead to a variety of effects such as impaired growth [2], chromosome abnormalities [3], enzyme inhibition [4], proteolytic degradation [5], B-lymphocyte proliferation [6], cytokine induction [7] and superantige...
