A weighted metric method to optimize multi-response robust problems
In a robust parameter design (RPD) problem, the experimenter is interested to determine the values of con-trol factors such that responses will be robust or insensitive to variability of the noise factors. Response sur-face methodology (RSM) is one of the effective methods that can be employed for this purpose. Since quality of products or processes is usually evaluated through several quality ...
متن کاملUnpredicted impacts of insect endosymbionts on interactions between soil organisms, plants and aphids.
Ecologically significant symbiotic associations are frequently studied in isolation, but such studies of two-way interactions cannot always predict the responses of organisms in a community setting. To explore this issue, we adopt a community approach to examine the role of plant-microbial and insect-microbial symbioses in modulating a plant-herbivore interaction. Potato plants were grown under...
متن کاملHolobionts and ecological speciation: the intestinal microbiota of lake whitefish species pairs
BACKGROUND It is well established that symbionts have considerable impact on their host, yet the investigation of the possible role of the holobiont in the host's speciation process is still in its infancy. In this study, we compared the intestinal microbiota among five sympatric pairs of dwarf (limnetic) and normal (benthic) lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis representing a continuum in the...
متن کاملFungal Model Organisms and Knowledge Transfer to Pathogenic Species
The Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS-GSF, Neuherberg, Germany) combines automatic processing of large amounts of sequences with manual annotation of selected model genomes. Due to the massive growth of the available data, the depth of annotation varies widely between independent databases. Also, the criteria for the transfer of information from known to orthologous sequence...
متن کاملAntibiotics and multi-resistant organisms
The development of antibiotic resistance is a normal evolutionary process for microorganisms, but it is accelerated by the selective pressure exerted by the widespread use of antibacterial drugs. Nearly all very low birth weight infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) receive an empirical antibiotic treatment in the first days of life, despite the evidence of sterile cultures ...
