Genetic drift suppresses bacterial conjugation in spatially structured populations [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2014
ABSTRACTConjugation is the primary mechanism of horizontal gene transfer that spreads antibiotic resistance among bacteria. Although conjugation normally occurs in surface-associated growth (e.g., biofilms), it has been traditionally studied in well-mixed liquid cultures lacking spatial structure, which is known to affect many evolutionary and ...

Fluctuations of radiation from a chaotic laser below threshold [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Radiation from a chaotic cavity filled with gain medium is considered. A set of coupled equations describing the photon density and the population of gain medium is proposed and solved.

Genetically engineered insects with sex-selection and genetic incompatibility enable population suppression

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Engineered Genetic Incompatibility (EGI) is a method to create species-like barriers to sexual reproduction. It has applications in pest control that mimic Sterile Insect Technique when only EGI males are released.

Global dynamics of a mosquito population suppression model with stage and sex structure

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics, 2023
In this paper, we study a kind of mosquito population suppression model incorporating the growth stage as well as the sex structure of mosquitoes.

Three-level mixing and dark states in transport through quantum dots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We consider theoretically the transport through the double quantum dot structure of the recent experiment of C. Payette {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 102}, 026808 (2009)] and calculate stationary current and shotnoise. Three-level mixing gives rise

Simulations reveal high efficiency and confinement of a population suppression CRISPR toxin-antidote gene drive

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
Though engineered gene drives hold great promise for spreading through and eventually suppressing populations of disease vectors or invasive species, complications such as resistance alleles and spatial population structure can prevent their success ...

Delayed reactive distractor suppression in aging populations. [PDF]

open access: yesPsychology and Aging, 2019
Previous studies have tended to infer that reactive control is intact in aging populations because of evidence that proactive control is impaired and that older participants appear to favor reactive control strategies. However, most of these studies did not compare reactive control in young and older participants directly.

Cytoplasmic incompatibility management to support Incompatible Insect Technique against Aedes albopictus

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The transinfection of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia provides a method to produce functionally sterile males to be used to suppress mosquito vectors.

Towards Personalized Prostate Cancer Therapy Using Delta-Reachability Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Recent clinical studies suggest that the efficacy of hormone therapy for prostate cancer depends on the characteristics of individual patients. In this paper, we develop a computational framework for identifying patient-specific androgen ablation therapy

Quality control of long-term mass-reared Aedes albopictus for population suppression

open access: yesJournal of Pest Science, 2021
The endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia is being developed as a tool to suppress mosquito populations and their transmitted pathogens, with successful field trials in multiple countries having resulted in efforts to scale up the capacity to mass-produce ...
