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 ...

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.

Biological Reviews, 2017 ABSTRACTDispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and demography. It is subject to evolutionary change, which begs the question, what is the genetic basis of this potentially complex trait?
