We investigated the migration of a symmetric tilt, low-angle grain boundary (LAGB) under applied shear stress in the presence of extrinsic dislocations. The results demonstrate that there is a threshold stress for the LAGB to depin from extrinsic dislocations. Below the threshold stress, the LAGB remains immobile at zero dislocation climb mobility, while for finite climb mobilities, it migrates...

The interplay between population subdivision and epistasis is investigated by studying the fixation probability of a coadapted haplotype in a subdivided population. Analytical and simulation models are developed to study the evolutionary fate of two conditionally neutral mutations that interact epistatically to enhance fitness. We find that the fixation probability of a coadapted haplotype show...

background : immunological response of host and parasite play a key role in developing vaccina­tion and immunization. the present study deals with the immune response and effecter mechanism, which was confirmed by migration inhibition factor (mif).  methods : the present work was conducted in parasitological lab of postgraduate department of zool­ogy, government holkar science college, indore (...
