Feasibility in MacArthur’s consumer-resource model by Aparicio, Andrea, Wang, Tong, Saavedra, Serguei, Liu, Yang-Yu

“…However, if resources grow logistically, this pattern is reversed with a sublinear increase in feasibility, as it has been previously reported in experimental work. This work provides testable predictions for consumer-resource systems and is a gateway to exploring feasibility in other mechanistic models.…”

Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling by Witmer, Kathrin, Schmid, Christoph D., Brancucci, Nicolas M. B., Luah, Yen-Hoon, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Bozdech, Zbynek, Voss, Till S.

“…Unlike var promoters, promoters of non-var families are not silenced by default, and transcription of non-var families is not subject to the same mode of mutually exclusive transcription as has been observed for var genes. Our findings identified a differential logic in the regulation of var and other subtelomeric virulence gene families, which will have important implications for our understanding and future analyses of phenotypic variation in malaria parasites.…”

Notions of "subject" by LaPolla, Randy J.

“…Up to the early 1970's that would have been a generally common assumption, though there was much disagreement about and no universal notion of "subject" (Platt 1971; Van Valin 1977, 1981; Foley & Van Valin 1977, 1984; Gary & Keenan 1977; Comrie 1981), though most theories assumed some conception of syntactic functions. …”
