The speed of response of each cluster to input signals. by Abdullah Hamadeh (221909)

“…A step decrease in active polar cluster receptors results in a slower fall in the normalized CheY₆-P concentration (90%-10% fall time: 50.57 sec) than would an identical change in the number of active cytoplasmic cluster receptors (90%-10% fall time: 21.98 sec).…”

Possible state transitions in the evolutionary state-dependent model. by Tom Rosenström (115546)

“…The choice of mode dictates the transition-probability structure for the next time step. The effect of the ‘depressed’ mode is to decrease the probability of a divorce-like transition from the relationship-at-risk state to the unpartnered state by the value <i>s</i>, to increase the probability of death <i>m</i> by <i>z</i>, and to remove the probability of marrying <i>ρ</i> (removal of <i>ρ</i> had no consequences here, but to some, it seems a logical outcome of depression). …”

Table_1_Compensatory brain activity pattern is not present in older adults during the n-back task performance—Findings based on EEG frequency analysis.DOC by Ludmiła Zając-Lamparska (8056364)

“…At the same time, at this difficulty level, cognitive performance was worse in older adults than in young adults, which could reduce the chances of observing compensatory brain activity. The significant decrease in theta power observed in both age groups with rising task difficulty can reflect a declining capacity for efficient cognitive functioning under increasing demands rather than adapting to this increase. …”
