Discriminating by Tagging: Artificial Distinction, Real Discrimination
(2011-02-08)
We introduce a new variation of the hawk-dove game suggested by an experiment that studies the behavior of a group of domestic fowls when a subgroup has been marked. Speci cally we consider a population formed by two types ...
Replicator Dynamics and Evolutionary Stable Strategies in Heterogeneous Games
(2011-12)
We generalise and extend the work of Iñarra and Laruelle (2011) by studying two person symmetric evolutionary games with two strategies, a heterogenous population with two possible types of individuals and incomplete ...
An axiomatization of success
(2011)
In this paper we give an axiomatic characterization of three families of measures of success defined by Laruelle and Valenciano (2005) for voting rules.
Adenylate Cyclase Toxin Promotes Internalisation of Integrins and Raft Components and Decreases Macrophage Adhesion Capacity
(Public Library of Science, 2011-02-23)
Bordetella pertussis, the bacterium that causes whooping cough, secretes an adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) that must be post-translationally palmitoylated in the bacterium cytosol to be active. The toxin targets phagocytes ...
Individual notions of distributive justice and relative economic status
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2011-09)
We present two experiments designed to investigate whether individuals’ notions of distributive justice are associated with their relative (within-society) economic status. Each participant played a specially designed ...
A review on Estimation of Distribution Algorithms in Permutation-based Combinatorial Optimization Problems
(2011)
Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) are a set of algorithms
that belong to the field of Evolutionary Computation. Characterized by the use of
probabilistic models to represent the solutions and the dependencies ...
Overhead conductor monitoring system for the evaluation of the low sag behavior
(IEEE, 2011-06)
The paper describes a monitoring system for the evaluation of the low sag behavior of the overhead conductors in operating lines. The monitoring system measures the conductor tension and temperature and it also measures ...
Activation of violaxanthin cycle in darkness is a common response to different abiotic stresses : a case study in Pelvetia canaliculata
(BioMed Central, 2011-12-26)
Background: In the violaxanthin (V) cycle, V is de-epoxidized to zeaxanthin (Z) when strong light or light combined with other stressors lead to an overexcitation of photosystems. However, plants can also suffer stress in ...
Accuracy in Copy Number Calling by qPCR and PRT : A Matter of DNA
(Public Library of Science, 2011-12-13)
The possible implication of copy number variation (CNV) in the genetic susceptibility to human disease needs to be assessed using robust methods that can be applied at a population scale. In this report, we analyze the ...
Polymer-Optical-Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers Doped with Organic Dyes
(MDPI, 2011-09)
Polymer optical fibers (POFs) doped with organic dyes can be used to make efficient lasers and amplifiers due to the high gains achievable in short distances. This paper analyzes the peculiarities of light amplification ...
