The transition from power systems dominated by synchronous machines to systems based on converter-based generation technologies (CGTs), is weakening currently robust power systems by reducing system inertia with the ...

The rate of evolution varies among sites within proteins. In enzymes, two rate gradients are observed: rate decreases with increasing local packing and it increases with increasing distance from catalytic residues. The ...

Theoretical quantitative genetics provides a framework for reconstructing past selection and predicting future patterns of phenotypic differentiation. However, the usefulness of the equations of quantitative genetics for ...

We revisit some problems arising in the context of multiallelic discrete-time and deterministic evolutionary dynamics driven first by fitness differences and then by segregation distortion. In the model with fitness, we ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of four methods of sperm selection, on the integrity and stability of the plasma membrane, integrity of the acrosomal membrane and spermatic morphology in frozen/thawed ovine ...

Most of lipases are in equilibrium between a majority inactive closed form and a minority active open form in aqueous media. Perhaps, a certain stabilization of these open forms of lipases could be achieved in the presence ...
