Gene-Environment Interactions in Stress Response Contribute Additively to a Genotype-Environment Interaction. by Takeshi Matsui, Ian M Ehrenreich

“…To shed light on this problem, we genetically dissected an environment-specific poor growth phenotype in a cross of two budding yeast strains. This phenotype is detectable when certain segregants are grown on ethanol at 37°C ('E37'), a condition that differs from the standard culturing environment in both its carbon source (ethanol as opposed to glucose) and temperature (37°C as opposed to 30°C). …”

Stylistic Conventions and Complex Group Collaboration by Marc Slors

“…Given that social categories are a precondition for complex coordinated role-divisions, and given that such role-divisions are a major part of the explanation for our evolutionary success, I argue that it is likely that the psychological proclivities that make us susceptible to stylistic conventions can be explained as the result of group-level selection pressures.…”

Cognitive network channel allocation method based on the queuing delay and game analysis by Jun LIU, Xiu-feng XIE

“…A new dynamic spectrum allocation method for distributed cognitive radio networks was proposed.In the method,packet transmission success rate is chosen as the utility function,the transmission delay is resolved by the priority queuing model,and the user’s channel allocation strategy is achieved by distributed game.Compared with other algorithms,the policy iteration process is improved effectively,and a dynamic strategy adjustment step is adopted.Each network user dynamically adjust their channel choose strategy based on current perception of the remaining user’s strategy.The proposed algorithm lets channel selection strategy converge more quickly to equilibrium point,and effectively suppresses the policy shocks.The simulation results validate the proposed algorithm.…”

Green Chemistry Method for Analyzing Bisphenol A in Milk by Angela M. Encerrado Manriquez, Wen-Yee Lee

“…A simple, fast, green, and sensitive method for determining Bisphenol A (BPA) levels in commercial milk was developed using a solventless sample preparation technique known as stir bar sorptive extraction, coupled with thermal desorption–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. BPA was selected due to its ubiquitous presence in the environment and its classification as an endocrine-disrupting chemical of concern (i.e., its ability to mimic hormone functions). …”
