TL;DR: Different interpretations of the relationship between the net reproductive rate and the intrinsic rate of increase are discussed to clarify possible misunderstanding in the literature.
Abstract: Age-stage, two-sex life tables of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquil- lett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), reared on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica Roem) and a carrot medium (mashed Daucus carota L. mixed with sucrose and yeast hydrolysate) were constructed under laboratory conditions at 25 ± 1 ◦ C, 65% ± 0.5% relative humidity, and a photoperiod 12 : 12h (L : D). The intrinsic rates of increase of B. cucurbitae were 0.1446, 0.1412 and 0.0688 days on cucumber, sponge gourd, and car- rotmedium,respectively.Thehighestnetreproductionratewas172offspringperflyreared on sponge gourd. The mean generation times of B. cucurbitae ranged from 34 days reared on cucumber to 56 days reared on carrot medium. The life history raw data was analyzed using the traditional female age-specific life table and compared to results obtained using the age-stage, two-sex life table. When the age-specific female life table is applied to an age-stage-structured two-sex population, survival and fecundity curves will be improperly manipulated due to an inability to include variation in preadult development time. We discussed different interpretations of the relationship between the net reproductive rate and the intrinsic rate of increase to clarify possible misunderstanding in the literature.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a self-evolving interval type-2 fuzzy neural network (SEIT2FNN) with online structure and parameter learning, which is applied to simulations on nonlinear plant modeling, adaptive noise cancellation, and chaotic signal prediction.
Abstract: This paper proposes a self-evolving interval type-2 fuzzy neural network (SEIT2FNN) with online structure and parameter learning. The antecedent parts in each fuzzy rule of the SEIT2FNN are interval type-2 fuzzy sets and the fuzzy rules are of the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) type. The initial rule base in the SEIT2FNN is empty, and the online clustering method is proposed to generate fuzzy rules that flexibly partition the input space. To avoid generating highly overlapping fuzzy sets in each input variable, an efficient fuzzy set reduction method is also proposed. This method independently determines whether a corresponding fuzzy set should be generated in each input variable when a new fuzzy rule is generated. For parameter learning, the consequent part parameters are tuned by the rule-ordered Kalman filter algorithm for high-accuracy learning performance. Detailed learning equations on applying the rule-ordered Kalman filter algorithm to the SEIT2FNN consequent part learning, with rules being generated online, are derived. The antecedent part parameters are learned by gradient descent algorithms. The SEIT2FNN is applied to simulations on nonlinear plant modeling, adaptive noise cancellation, and chaotic signal prediction. Comparisons with other type-1 and type-2 fuzzy systems in these examples verify the performance of the SEIT2FNN.

TL;DR: It is shown that the PI3K inhibitors, wortmannin and LY294002, were able to inhibit FAK-promoted migration in a dose-dependent manner and that the binding of Src and p130Cas to FAK may not be sufficient for this event.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the antioxidative properties of methanolic extracts from peanut hulls (MEPH) and found that MEPH had good thermal stability and showed an 85.2% inhibition of peroxidation of linoleic acid when heated at 185°C for 2 h.
Abstract: Antioxidative properties of methanolic extracts from peanut hulls (MEPH) have been investigated. MEPH had good thermal stability and showed an 85.2% inhibition of peroxidation of linoleic acid when heated at 185°C for 2 h. Only a slight decrease in antioxidative activity of MEPH occurred when the extract was stored at different temperatures (∓20, 5 and 30°C) under air or nitrogen (30°C) for 70 d. Antioxidative activity of MEPH decreased with an increase of pH from 3 to 9. No synergistic effect of ascorbic acid, citric acid, cysteine or α-tocopherol was observed on the inhibitory effect of MEPH. The reducing power of MEPH increased with an increase in concentration and was significantly correlated (r=0.9793,P<0.05) to the extent of antioxidative activity. MEPH also showed good inhibitory activity in lard oxidation when compared with butylated hydroxyanisole.
