Regulation of reproductive processes with dynamic energy budgets

Modelling nematode life cycles using dynamic energy budgets

1. To understand the life cycle of an organism, it is important to understand the underlying physiological mechanisms of their life histories. We here use the theory of dynamic energy budgets (DEB) to investigate the close relationships between growth, reproduction and respiration in nematodes. 2. Using a set of simplified equations based on DEB theory, we are able to accurately describe life-c...

Group size, energy budgets, and population dynamic complexity

Question: If the size of foraging groups directly influences the probability that individuals starve before reproduction, how does increasing group size affect the consumer population’s dynamic complexity? Key assumptions: We partition a population into foraging groups that must search for food. Food per individual forager varies inversely with population density; social interaction within grou...

Dynamic Ad Allocation: Bandits with Budgets

We consider an application of multi-armed bandits to internet advertising (specifically, to dynamic ad allocation in the pay-per-click model, with uncertainty on the click probabilities). We focus on an important practical issue that advertisers are constrained in how much money they can spend on their ad campaigns. This issue has not been considered in the prior work on bandit-based approaches...

dynamic coloring of graph

در این پایان نامه رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی یک گراف را بیان و مطالعه می کنیم. یک –kرنگ آمیزی سره ی رأسی گراف g را رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی می نامند اگر در همسایه های هر رأس v?v(g) با درجه ی حداقل 2، حداقل 2 رنگ متفاوت ظاهر شوند. کوچکترین عدد صحیح k، به طوری که g دارای –kرنگ آمیزی دینامیکی باشد را عدد رنگی دینامیکی g می نامند و آنرا با نماد ?_2 (g) نمایش می دهند. مونت گمری حدس زده است که تمام گراف های منتظم ...
