Mating suppresses sperm-dependent male avoidance in C. elegans hermaphrodites. [PDF]
PLoS ONEIn many sexually reproducing animals, females incur higher reproductive costs and therefore tend to be more selective in accepting mates. In Caenorhabditis elegans, self-fertilizing hermaphrodites produce a limited number of self-sperm, and previous ...

Eclipse avoidance in TianQin orbit selection [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2021 In future geocentric space-based gravitational-wave observatory missions, eclipses due to passing through the Moon's and Earth's shadows can negatively impact the sciencecraft's thermal stability and steady power supply. The occurrence should be reduced as much as possible in orbit design.

Honey bees selectively avoid difficult choices [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Significance Here we show that honey bees ( Apis mellifera ) can adaptively alter their behavior in a choice test in response to trial difficulty. Bees preferentially opt out of difficult trials and by doing so, improve their success rate.

Route selection in barrier avoidance
Gait & Posture, 2020 Fajen and Warren's steering dynamics model can reproduce human paths around an extended barrier by adding 'waypoints' at each end - if one waypoint is selected to minimize the global path curvature (Gérin-Lajoie and Warren, 2008). We propose that waypoint selection behaves like a choice between two competing goals, in which the smaller distance (d) and

Synthetic selectivity through avoidance of valence frustration [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 A series of di-copper(I) complexes has been prepared via the reaction of copper(I) tetrafluoroborate, 2,6-diformylpyridine, 8-aminoquinoline, and a series of aliphatic diamines and 4-substituted anilines. To avoid a “valence-frustrated” state, involving a mismatch between the number of ligand donor atoms and the number of metal acceptor sites, the ...

Hyperspace selections avoiding points
Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae, 2023 In this paper, we deal with a hyperspace selection problem in the setting of connected spaces. We present two solutions of this problem illustrating the difference between selections for the nonempty closed sets, and those for the at most two-point sets. In the first case, we obtain a characterisation of compact orderable spaces.
