In contrast to such an optimum function regarding choice and feeding, an asymptotic dose effect function is found for reinforcement learning: Learning scores reach asymptote at 2 M and remain stable for a 4-M concentration.
Moreover, reductions in 5HT neuron function by feeding a biosynthetic inhibitor (α-methyl tryptophan), or by silencing DDC-positive neurons via tetanus toxin expression had no effects on fighting frequency in their experiments.
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).
The fragmentation behavior of Y2O3 suspension has been investigated using an Axial III system with axial feeding as a function of primary droplet size of atomized suspension, solid content in the suspension, and size distributions of raw powders.
Figure 2 shows the average of the feeding rate as a function of body mass for the whole experimental duration.
As feeding performance is a function of absolute bill morphology and food resources [31], [72], we did not correct upper mandible length measurements for body size.
Figure 4 figure supplement 1 shows the RNAi feeding times as a function of temperature.
The SURE model provides an analytical expression for the molar (Ca/S) ratio in the reactor feed as a function of the degree of sulfur retention, the maximum sorbent conversion and three dimensionless model parameters.
Furthermore, it was recently demonstrated that, in hamsters fed a high-cholesterol diet, endothelial function was improved after intake of sitosterol and stigmasterol compared with control and compared with their oxidized counterparts (36).
Elegant work in Drosophila has recently shown that insulin and neuropeptide Y (NPY), conserved hormonal regulators of feeding, modify foraging behavior as a function of feeding status by altering the sensory representations of food-related odorants [ 36].
