Abstract The schooling flashlight fish Anomalops katoptron can be found at dark nights at the water surface in the Indo-Pacific.Schools are characterized by bioluminescent blink patterns of sub-ocular light organs densely-packed with bioluminescent, symbiotic bacteria.Here we analyzed how blink patterns of A.katoptron are used in social interaction
This exploratory research addresses educational management model for the universities.Its applicability was successfully verified and validated through survey data from leading tertiary educational institutions around the world.The proposed model was developed based on the analysis of literature, past theoretical frameworks, interviews with stakeho
Thermal-induced spalling is a typical failure behavior of concrete materials exposed to high temperatures.This study uses Abaqus to establish a numerical model of concrete material comprising aggregates and mortar matrix.Cohesive elements considering heat conduction are embedded into this numerical model to simulate the thermal-induced explosive sp
Monthly oviposition activity and the seasonal density pattern of Aedes aegypti were studied using larvitraps and ovitraps during a research carried out by the Public Health Ministry of Salta Province, in Tartagal, Aguaray and Salvador Mazza cities, in subtropical Argentina.The A.aegypti population was active in both dry and wet seasons with a peak
The Snowdrift Game, also known as the Hawk-Dove Game, is a social dilemma in which an individual can participate (cooperate) or not (defect) in producing a public good.It is relevant to a number of collective action problems in biology.In a population of individuals playing this game, traditional evolutionary models, in which the dynamics are conti
