The deformability of a red blood cell (RBC) is one of the most important biological parameters affecting blood flow, both in large arteries and in the microcirculation, and hence it can be used to quantify the cell state.Despite numerous studies on the mechanical properties of RBCs, including cell rigidity, much is still unknown about the relations
Butterfly Density and Behaviour in Uncut Hay Meadow Strips: Behavioural Ecological Consequences of an Agri-Environmental Scheme.
Sparing zones from mowing Wall Art Painting has been proposed, and applied, to improve local conditions for survival and reproduction of insects in hay meadows.However, little is known about the efficiency of refuge zones and the consequences for local populations.We studied population densities of butterflies before and after mowing in the refuge
Strategic Behavior of Moralists and Altruists
Does altruism and morality lead to socially better outcomes in strategic interactions than selfishness? We shed some light on this complex and non-trivial issue by examining a few canonical strategic OSIS+ CRYSTAL GEL interactions played by egoists, altruists and moralists.By altruists, we mean people who do not only care about their own material p
