If lignocellulosic biomass is to become a viable competitor with fossil based resources for the production of energy and chemical products, sustainable sources of this material must be established. To address this issue an understanding about the risks affecting biomass sources and the biorefineries which they supply is crucial. In this paper, a quantitative approach using Bayesian Belief Netwo...

It is known that a limit cycle (or periodic coexistence) can occur in a competitor–competitor–mutualist Lotka–Volterra system  ẋ1 = x1(r1 − a11x1 − a12x2 + a13x3), ẋ2 = x2(r2 − a21x1 − a22x2 + a23x3), ẋ3 = x3(r3 + a31x1 + a32x2 − a33x3), where ri , ai j are positive real constants [X. Liang, J. Jiang, The dynamical behavior of type-K competitive Kolmogorov systems and its applications to 3-di...

Recalling a past experience often requires the suppression of related memories that compete with the retrieval target, causing memory impairment known as retrieval-induced forgetting. Two experiments examined how retrieval-induced forgetting varies with the similarity of the competitor and the target item (target-competitor similarity) and with the similarity between the competitors themselves ...
