Abstract Background Selfish genetic elements that distort the sex ratio are found widely.Notwithstanding the number of records of sex ratio distorters, their incidence is poorly understood.Two factors can prevent a sex ratio distorter from invading: inability of the sex ratio distorter to function (failure of Cocoa Powder mechanism or transmission)
The process of procurement of production materials and semi-finished products belongs to Organization the process supply chain logistics, which is essential to ensure the production schedule.It is necessary to ensure that production material was supplied at the right time, at the right place and in the right quality.Purchasing and supply mainly rel
Topological insulators are materials that conduct on the surface and insulate in their interior due to non-trivial topology of the band structure.The edge states on the interface between topological (non-trivial) and conventional (trivial) insulators are topologically protected from scattering due to structural defects and disorders.Recently, it wa
Dependable, safety-critical real-time (SCRT) systems are becoming increasingly important and complex.Examples of such systems are autonomous or self-driving cars which are poised to revolutionise the transport industry.A critical part of these SCRT systems is the network communication protocol that is used by components in an SCRT system to exchang
The p53 tumour suppressor protein is a transcription factor that prevents oncogenic progression by activating the expression of apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest genes in stressed Tonneau Cover cells.The stability of p53 is tightly regulated by ubiquitin-dependent degradation, driven mainly by its negative regulators ubiquitin ligase MDM2.In this stu
