Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020 The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress from the biofilm to resume a planktonic lifestyle. As the planktonic state is considered to be more vulnerable to antimicrobial agents and immune responses ...

Dispersion measures and dispersive orderings [PDF]
Statistics & Probability Letters, 2003 In this paper, the comparison of random variables according to the functionals of a general class of dispersion measures is characterized in terms of the dilation order. The Gini's mean difference is a particular member of this general class. In addition, a new and weaker order, called the second-order absolute Lorenz ordering, is introduced, and we ...

Understanding the relationship between dispersal and range size
bioRxiv, 2021 Understanding what drives the vast variability in species range size is still an outstanding question. Among the several processes potentially affecting species ranges, dispersal is one of the most prominent hypothesized predictors.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003 We model firm pricing given consumers follow simple reservation price rules. Such reservation rules are rational when consumers are sufficiently impatient. The equilibrium exhibits price dispersion in pure strategies, with lower price firms earning higher profits.

Dispersive Estimates for Full Dispersion KP Equations [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics, 2021 AbstractWe prove several dispersive estimates for the linear part of the Full Dispersion Kadomtsev–Petviashvili introduced by David Lannes to overcome some shortcomings of the classical Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations. The proof of these estimates combines the stationary phase method with sharp asymptotics on asymmetric Bessel functions, which may be ...

Dispersive stabilization [PDF]
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 2010 Ill posed linear and nonlinear initial value problems may be stabilized, that it converted to to well posed initial value problems, by the addition of purely nonscalar linear dispersive terms. This is a stability analog of the Turing instability. This idea applies to systems of quasilinear Schr dinger equations from nonlinear optics.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The metacommunity framework has rapidly become a dominant concept used by ecologists to understand community assembly. By emphasizing extinction-colonization dynamics, dispersal, and species’ niche requirements in determining community structure ...

Biology, 2022 Recent progress in otolith microchemistry especially in strontium:calcium (Sr:Ca) ratios has revealed significant features of life histories in fishes. A catadromous eel, Anguilla marmorata, has the widest distribution among anguillid eels throughout the

Approaches to Dispersing Medical Biofilms
Microorganisms, 2017 Biofilm-associated infections pose a complex problem to the medical community, in that residence within the protection of a biofilm affords pathogens greatly increased tolerances to antibiotics and antimicrobials, as well as protection from the host ...

Aproceros leucopoda (Hymenoptera: Argidae): An East Asian pest of elms (Ulmus spp.) invading Europe
European Journal of Entomology, 2010 An invasive sawfly Aproceros leucopoda Takeuchi, 1939, which originates from East Asia, has colonized elms (Ulmus spp.) in Austria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and the Ukraine, at least since 2003.
