We examined the effect of prior victory or defeat in the same site as that of a subsequent encounter on the outcome of dyadic encounter of domestic hens by placing them in two situations: In the first set of dyads, two unacquainted hens having experienced prior victory were introduced in the site where one had experienced victory. In the second set, two unacquainted hens having experienced defe...

—In the Warner Mountains of California, two sympatric species of chipmunk partition their habitat primarily through the mechanism of competitive exclusion by social dominance and aggressive interactions. Forests are optimal habitats for both Neotamias amoenus and N. minimus. In this study N. amoenus actively excludes N. minimus from the forest through successful aggressive interspecific interac...

Earlier results for distributed and boundary controls of the viscous Burgers' equation were established by Burns et al. and Byrnes et al.. In their results there are technical restrictions on the sizes of the initial data. In this paper we relax these restrictions, as well as treat the Burgers' equation with other nonlinear boundary conditions.

He married, in 1870, Miss S. D. Jones, and took a farm near ?Kingsteignton, Devonshire. He entered at the Bristol Medical School when he was over thirty vears of age. He then went to Edinburgh and got Qualified in 1884. Besides his work as a general practitioner, he was Public Vaccinator for the Clifton District, and he attended gratuitously, for more than twenty-five years, the inmates of St. ...

Chong et al., Nishio et al., and Suri et al. (Reports, 24 March 2006, pp. 1774, 1775, and 1778) confirmed that treating nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice with an immune adjuvant and semisyngenic spleen cells can reverse the disease but found that spleen cells did not contribute to the observed recovery of pancreatic islets. We show that islet regeneration predominately originates from endogenous cel...

In this paper we construct new random walks connected with fractional order differential equations. Namely, the governing equations corresponding to the constructed random walks are multi-term or distributed fractional order differential equations. Nowadays the connection between random walk and fractional order dynamics is well known, see, for instance [1, 17, 26, 33, 38]. A number of construc...
