Regular responses to selection 3. Interaction between located polygenes

Non-locus-specific polygenes giving responses to selection for gene conversion frequencies in Ascobolus immersus.

Selection for higher and lower meiotic conversion frequencies was investigated in the fungus Ascobolus immersus. Strains carrying the same known gene conversion control factors, which have major effects on conversion frequencies at their specific target locus, sometimes gave significant differences in conversion frequency. Selection for high or low conversion frequencies at the w1-78 site was p...

Interaction between cardiovascular responses to sustained handgrip and Valsalva manoeuvre.

Interactions between the cardiovascular responses to the Valsalva manoeuvre and sustained handgrip were analysed in 5 men with untreated mild hypertension and 4 young normal subjects. Though set at a higher level, there was a normal blood pressure response to the Valsalva manoeuvre during concurrent sustained handgrip in 4 of the 5 hypertensive subjects. At the end of the handgrip period in whi...

GenePool: Exploring The Interaction Between Natural Selection and Sexual Selection

Gene Pool is an artificial life simulation designed to bring some basic principles of evolution to light in an entertaining and instructive way. Most significant is the aspect of sexual selection — where mate choice is a factor in the evolution of morphology and motor-control in physically-based animated organisms. We see in the examples of deer antlers, peacock tails, and fish coloration a mag...

A New Approach to Project Risk Responses Selection with Inter-dependent Risks

Risks are natural and inherent characteristics of major projects. Risks are usually considered independently in analysis of risk responses. However, most risks are dependent on each other and dependent risks are rare in the real world. This paper proposes a model for proper risk response selection from the responses portfolio with the purpose of optimization of defined criteria for projects. Th...
