Individuals mounting a strong response against one parasite might expose themselves to other parasites with negative net effects for fitness, again yielding highest fitness for individuals with intermediate intensities of any specific parasite type.
This site was chosen for study because of its presumed intermediate intensity of exposure to agriculture.
Improved resistance against parasites through enhanced immune function reduces the cost incurred from the parasite infection while increasing the cost of the immune system, yielding a pattern of maximum fitness for intermediate intensities.
The model correlates fairly well the R-ratio effects on fatigue crack growth rate at low and intermediate stress intensities for aluminum alloys.
The proposed parameter correlates fairly well the R-ratio effects on the threshold condition and fatigue crack growth rate at the low and intermediate stress intensities for six aluminum alloys investigated.
No peak is visible for 1, it is of intermediate intensity in 2, and it is strong for 3 and 4. Figure 2 c shows the UV/Vis spectra, which are also discriminative.
Median PFS by FGFR1 intensity was 5.49 (95% CI 3.48 to 11.07) months for those with the highest intensities (level 3 or 4), 5.52 (95% CI 3.55 to 10.25) months for those with intermediate intensity (level 2), and 11.14 (95% CI 9.20, not attained) months for those with the lowest FGFR1 intensity (level 1).
Similarly, median PFS by FRS2α intensity was 4.07 (95% CI 1.81 to 11.07) months for those with the highest intensities (level 3 or 4), 7.56 (95% CI 3.68 to 10.25) months for those with intermediate intensity (level 2), and 11.14 (95% CI 5.45, not attained) months for those with lowest FRS2α intensity (level 1).
In general, all the ecotypes grown in Ercolano were given the lowest attribute intensity, those grown in Sorrento intermediate intensity and those in Sarno the highest intensity, for all traits evaluated.
