  2. Prey switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_switching

    Prey switching is frequency-dependent predation, where the predator preferentially consumes the most common type of prey. The phenomenon has also been described as apostatic selection , however the two terms are generally used to describe different parts of the same phenomenon.

  3. Glitch removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_removal

    Glitch power comes under dynamic dissipation in the circuit and is directly proportional to switching activity. Glitch power dissipation is 20%–70% of total power dissipation and hence glitching should be eliminated for low power design. Switching activity occurs due to signal transitions which are of two types: functional transition and a ...

  4. Phenotypic switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotypic_switching

    The latter is an epigenetic switching system [1] [2] Phenotypic switching in Candida albicans is often used to refer to the epigenetic white-to-opaque switching system. C. albicans needs this switch for sexual mating. [3] Next to the two above mentioned switching systems many other switching systems are known in C. albicans. [4]

  5. Apostatic selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostatic_selection

    Apostatic selection can also apply to the predator if the predator has various morphs. There are multiple concepts that are closely linked with apostatic selection. One is the idea of prey switching, which is another term used to look at a different aspect of the same phenomenon, as well as the concept of a search image. Search images are ...

  6. State switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_switching

    For example, cancer cells undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) that plays important roles in their survival, proliferation, and development of resistance to therapeutic treatments, [2] [3] or switch to a phenotype that mimics stem cell-like features – the so-called Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) or Tumour-initiating Cells.

    Figure 1. Example of a biological network between genes and proteins that controls entry into S phase. However, with knowledge of network interactions and a set of parameters for the proteins and protein interactions (usually obtained through empirical research), it is often possible to construct a model of the network as a dynamical system.

  8. Ontogenetic niche shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontogenetic_niche_shift

    The metamorphosis exhibited in frogs is one of the many examples of the ontogenetic niche shifting.. Ontogenetic niche shift (abbreviated ONS) [1] is an ecological phenomenon where an organism (usually an animal) changes its diet or habitat during its ontogeny (development). [2]

  9. Synthetic biological circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biological_circuit

    Two early examples of synthetic biological circuits were published in Nature in 2000. One, by Tim Gardner, Charles Cantor, and Jim Collins working at Boston University, demonstrated a "bistable" switch in E. coli. The switch is turned on by heating the culture of bacteria and turned off by addition of IPTG.
