Background—Flow-induced vasodilation (FID) is a physiological mechanism for regulating coronary flow and is mediated largely by nitric oxide (NO) in animals. Because hyperpolarizing mechanisms may play a greater role than NO in the microcirculation, we hypothesized that hyperpolarization contributes importantly to FID of human coronary arterioles. Methods and Results—Arterioles from atria or ve...

The effects of poaching on wildlife have been widely studied in conservation biology and can be heterogeneous, particularly on ungulates. These effects can be estimated through different methodologies whose use depends on several conditions such as Flight-initiation distance (FID). Our objectives were: 1- to evaluate whether poaching affects the FID and group structure of a guanaco (Lama guanic...

Like other animals, primates respond to predation using behavioural adaptations. Hence, they should optimise their escape strategy under the risk of predation, and flee at a distance, referred to as flight initiation distance (FID), when the fitness-related benefits of staying are balanced against the costs of escape. However, there is an absence of FID studies in primates. In this study, we us...

We propose a fast silent self-stabilizing building a k-independent dominating set, named FID. The convergence of protocol FID, is established for any computation under the unfair distributed scheduler. FID reaches a terminal (also legitimate) configuration in at most 4n+k rounds, where n is the network size. FID requires (k + 1)log(n+ 1) bits per node. keywords distributed computing, fault tole...
