In terms of selective forces, equation (6) demonstrates the selection on the preference locus is a function of preference and trait frequency, as well as preference strength and the cost of competition – all of which is intuitive from the model description.
We investigate the robustness of Krapivsky's model to superlinear preference functions by plotting the ratio (frac {d_{text {max}}}{|E|}), were d max is the maximum degree, as a function of the preference function exponent α; see Figure 10.
Each day, among these accessible meshes, a simulated bird selected a halt mesh (i.e. stopover site), for instance to rest and feed), as a function of its preference (P).
First, its nature and extent varied widely within and between journals, primarily as a function of the preference of the editor in charge.
A soil transfer field experiment was designed in order to study (i) whether and how Collembolan communities are affected by sudden perturbation (a shift from agricultural land to heathland, and the reverse), and (ii) whether different species respond similarly and to the same extent as a function of their habitat preference (ascertained by controls).
Parking requests are allocated iteratively using an aggregated approach as a function of simulated drivers' preferences, and parking availability.
The frequency of pedestrian traffic in the streets is analyzed as a function of accessibility and landscape preferences with the help of a conceptual framework.
This study empirically analyzes how the online search processes of ninety-two students vary depending on the task type (Taylor, 1991), or alternatively as a function of four learning style preferences (Honey & Mumford, 1986).
Substituting the budget constraint into the Samuelson condition implies Q as a function of income, prices, and the preference parameters and, not surprisingly, Q is increasing in β1 and β2.
Further, the DDT argues that ADHD-related variability will vary dynamically as a function of context, task, and motivational preferences.
