College freshmen entering school last fall were less likely to attend their first choice of college, a function of both competition and cost, than at any other time since 1974, and fewer received financial aid through grants or scholarships, according to an annual survey of nearly 204,000 high school students.
Whether this is purely a physiological response (age-related) or a function of reduced competition from neighbouring trees following thinning remains unclear.
Thus, we express the success probability as a function of the competition that takes place within a large population of mobiles, and we characterize the effect of reward-based mechanisms on the performance of such systems.
Consequently, their activities will be finally reduced, which realizes the function of biased competition which has been proposed in the context of modulation in attention effects [35].
The focus of these analyses lies in the consequence of choosing TW or CW standard as the objective function of the competition authority.
With this perspective, it is reasonable to expect that microbial community composition is a function of interspecies competition and cooperation, which provides optimism for further developing the bacteriotherapy.
The ensemble of the above findings suggest that the capacity of Bnip3 to reduce mitochondrial amplification of apoptosis is a function of the competition between Bnip3-mediated mitophagic and apoptotic activities, and moreover, a delay of MOMP activation is required for effective mitophagy.
We used all estimates of minisatellite mutation rates known to us in our first publication [ 2], and we would like to emphasize that one of us (APM) has kept an extensive list of all published studies of extra-pair paternity in birds since 1988, used for extensive analyses of the function of sperm competition [ 9, 10].
Hence, monitoring an athlete's immune function through hematological parameters has become an important part of competition preparation [ 4].
