Competitive Environments and Protective Behavior [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2005
Consider a bimatrix game \((A,B)\). This game is a competition game if the best reply structures of \((A,B)\) and \((-B, -A)\) are such that the Nash equilibria of the two coincide. For competition games, the set of Nash equilibria is convex, and all Nash equilibria pay the same, thus generalizing properties of zero-sum games.

Different living environments drive deterministic microbial community assemblages in the gut of Alpine musk deer (Moschus chrysogaster)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Substantial variation in the environment directly causes remodeling of the colonized gut microbiota, controlling community diversity, and functions in the host to tune-up their adaptive states.

Hydrometeorology and landscapes control sediment and dissolved organic carbon mobility across a diverse and changing glacier-sourced river basin [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Northern landscapes are enduring ongoing impacts of anthropogenic land use and climate change. Rivers are valuable indicators of this change reflected by the timing and amount of water and terrestrial material they mobilize.

An energy-saving glasshouse film reduces seasonal, and cultivar dependent Capsicum yield due to light limited photosynthesis

Annals of Agricultural Sciences, 2023
Glasshouse films can be used to reduce energy costs by limiting non-productive heat-generating radiation, but the impact on yield of greenhouse horticultural crops remains unknown.

Carbon–Phosphorus Coupling Governs Microbial Effects on Nutrient Acquisition Strategies by Four Crops

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plants adjust root morphological and/or exudation traits in response to phosphorus (P) mobilization mediated by microorganisms. We hypothesized that straw application coupled with P fertilization would influence microbial P and then root nutrient ...

Performance of introducing outdoor cold air for cooling a plant production system with artificial light

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The commercial use of a plant production system with artificial light (PPAL) is limited by its high initial construction and operation costs. The electric-energy consumed by heat pumps, applied mainly for cooling, accounts for 15-35% of the total ...
