Reciprocity of agonistic support and interchange of agonistic support and preening has previously been demonstrated in rooks, Corvus frugilegus, another corvid species, but was only found within pair partners, and is thus likely to be a product of their symmetrical and exclusive relationship (Emery et al. 2007).
Agglomeration economies exist because the whole is more than the sum of the parts — because the network of suppliers, the skills, the interchange of knowledge supported by a geographical industry concentration in turn gives firms in that industry concentration an advantage over firms elsewhere.
Thus, reciprocity of support, or interchange between support and preening, can be examined while controlling for symmetrical features of the relationship such as kinship and sex.
Model interchange approaches support the analysis of software architecture and design by enabling a variety of tools to exchange performance models using a common schema.
mcss-SBML models can be easily designed using existing visual editing tools such as CellDesigner (Funahashi et al., 2003), and allow straightforward interchange of models with other software tools that support SBML.
Such charge-shielding effect would hinder the first ionic interchange of the protein on the amino groups of the supports, thus impairing immobilization yield.
The program is written in Java, the software standard developed by Sun Microsystems, and supports XML, a type of software coding that will allow for the seamless interchange of all sorts of dynamic data across different computer programs.
The statement was developed by a task force supported by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research ISPORR), as part of a broader initiative to facilitate and encourage the interchange of expert knowledge and develop best practices.
The criteria included: ability to import/export UML models to and from XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) specification; support for all types of UML diagrams, for tagged values, and for stereotypes; performance; and cost.
This dynamic interchange is supported by the abundance of conserved glutamine residues and would allow torsional rotation around the longitudinal axis of SYCP3.
