DENSITY-DEPENDENCE OF NESTLING IMMUNE FUNCTION AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION IN SEMI-PRECOCIAL COLONIAL BIRD: A CROSS-FOSTERING EXPERIMENT

Density-dependence of nestling immune function and physiological condition in semi-precocial colonial bird: a cross-fostering experiment

Abstract Background Nesting in large aggregations easton speed comp -13 provides several important advantages for colonially breeding birds.However, it also imposes certain costs, associated with facilitated pathogen transmission and social stress.The cost-benefit ratio is not similar for all the birds in a colony and it might be mediated by nest d

Scheduling preemptable jobs on identical processors under varying availability of an additional continuous resource

In this work we consider a problem of scheduling preemptable, independent jobs, characterized by the fact that their processing speeds depend on the amounts of a joe moreira jiu jitsu continuous, renewable resource allocated to jobs at a time.Jobs are scheduled on parallel, identical machines, with the criterion of minimization of the schedule leng
