Mother knows best: dominant females determine offspring dispersal in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). [PDF]
Relatedness between group members is central to understanding the causes of animal dispersal. In many group-living mammals this can be complicated as extra-pair copulations result in offspring having varying levels of relatedness to the dominant animals,

Muscle effort is best minimized by the right-dominant arm in the gravity field [PDF]
AbstractThe central nervous system (CNS) is thought to develop motor strategies that minimize various hidden criteria, such as end-point variance or effort. A large body of literature suggests that the dominant arm is specialized for such open-loop optimization-like processes whilst the non-dominant arm is specialized for closed-loop control.

Best Dominants and Subordinants for Certain Sandwich-Type Theorems [PDF]
In this paper, we aim to present a survey on subordination and superordination theorems related to the class of analytic functions defined in a symmetric domain, which is the open unit disc. The results were deduced by making use of a new differential operator.

Best and worst case permutations for random online domination of the path [PDF]
We study a randomized algorithm for graph domination, by which, according to a uniformly chosen permutation, vertices are revealed and added to the dominating set if not already dominated. We determine the expected size of the dominating set produced by the algorithm for the path graph $P_n$ and use this to derive the expected size for some related ...

Dominant cell method for the best linear assignment [PDF]
Abstract This research aims to present a new method for best solution (B.S) of assignment problem (A.P) in linear programming (L.P). It is like the method by which one can find the (B.S) of transportation problem (T.P) using the dominant cells (D.C) that was called (D.C.T) method.Since the (A.P) is different from (T.P) in some features ...

Best possible upper bounds on the restrained domination number of cubic graphs [PDF]
A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex in $V(G) \setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A restrained dominating set of $G$ is a dominating set $S$ with the additional restraint that the graph $G - S$ obtained by removing all vertices in $S$ is isolate-free.

Best practices for avoiding dominant experimental bias in analysis of multielectrode array signals [PDF]
Multielectrode arrays (MEA) are broadly used for in vitro cell culture observation. Complete realization of this platform’s potential to the study of disease and development depends on the capability to make 1) reliable and repeatable observations, 2) neuronal network behavior characterizations, and 3) meaningful comparisons between cultures.

Did COVID-19 surveillance system sensitivity change after Omicron? a retrospective observational study in England [PDF]
Background During the COVID-19 pandemic in England, increases and falls in COVID-19 cases were monitored using many surveillance systems (SS). However, surveillance sensitivity may have changed as different variants were introduced to the population, due

Forbidden configurations and dominating bicliques in undirected 2-quasi best match graphs [PDF]
2-quasi best match graphs (2-qBMGs) are directed graphs that capture a notion of close relatedness in phylogenetics. Here, we investigate the undirected underlying graph of a 2-qBMG (un-2qBMG) and show that they contain neither a path $P_l$ nor a cycle $C_l$ of length $l\geq 6$ as an induced subgraph.
