Dynamic computation of population protocols [PDF]
2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications, 2010 Population protocols provide theoretical foundations for mobile tiny device networks in which global behavior emerges from a set of simple interactions between anonymous agents. The works in this area mostly focus on studying the computational power of the model.

Why Do Herbivorous Mites Suppress Plant Defenses?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Plants have evolved numerous defensive traits that enable them to resist herbivores. In turn, this resistance has selected for herbivores that can cope with defenses by either avoiding, resisting or suppressing them. Several species of herbivorous mites,

Tetranychus evansi spider mite populations suppress tomato defenses to varying degrees
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Plant defense suppression is an offensive strategy of herbivores, in which they manipulate plant physiological processes to increase their performance. Paradoxically, defense suppression does not always benefit the defense‐suppressing herbivores, because

BMJ OpenObjective To quantify inequalities in lifespan across multiple social determinants of health, how they act in tandem with one another, and to create a scoring system that can accurately identify subgroups of the population at high risk of mortality ...

Population Dynamics of Bacterial Persistence
PLoS ONE, 2013 Persistence is a prime example of phenotypic heterogeneity, where a microbial population splits into two distinct subpopulations with different growth and survival properties as a result of reversible phenotype switching. Specifically, persister cells grow more slowly than normal cells under unstressed growth conditions, but survive longer under stress

New Zealand regions, 1986-2001: Population dynamics [PDF]
, 2005 New Zealand regions have markedly different population dynamics. Population change in a region is driven by three different factors: fertility, mortality and migration.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Survivorship care plans (SCPs) summarize cancer treatment and guide risk‐based follow‐up for cancer survivors, yet remain difficult to create, share, and use. Stakeholder perspectives are needed to inform usable approaches.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

The impact of COVID-19 on life expectancy across socioeconomic groups in Denmark
Population Health MetricsBackground Denmark was one of the few countries that experienced an increase in life expectancy in 2020, and one of the few to see a decrease in 2021. Because COVID-19 mortality is associated with socioeconomic status (SES), we hypothesize that certain ...
