TRANSCRIPTOMICS REVEALS THE MOLECULAR PROCESSES OF LIGHT-INDUCED RAPID DARKENING OF THE NON-OBLIGATE CAVE DWELLER OREOLALAX RHODOSTIGMATUS (MEGOPHRYIDAE, ANURA) AND THEIR GENETIC BASIS OF PIGMENTATION STRATEGY

Transcriptomics reveals the molecular processes of light-induced rapid darkening of the non-obligate cave dweller Oreolalax rhodostigmatus (Megophryidae, Anura) and their genetic basis of pigmentation strategy

Abstract Background Vertebrates use different pigmentation strategies to adapt to various environments.A large amount of research has been done on disclosing the mechanisms of pigmentation strategies in vertebrates either under light, or, living in constant darkness.However, less attention has been paid to non-obligate, darkness dwellers.Red-spotte

Impact of physical distancing due to novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) on daily travel for work during transition to lockdown

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in change in both commute and personal travel patterns.Though, in India, lockdown was implemented from 25th March 2020, due to self-awareness and pandemic risk perception, change in commuter behavior was observed from the beginning of March 2020.The period from 15th to 24th March 2020 is considered as

Chaos Firefly Algorithm With Self-Adaptation Mutation Mechanism for Solving Large-Scale Economic Dispatch With Valve-Point Effects and Multiple Fuel Options

This paper presents a new metaheuristic optimization algorithm, the firefly algorithm (FA), and an enhanced version of it, called chaos mutation FA (CMFA), for solving power economic dispatch problems while considering various power constraints, such as valve-point effects, ramp rate limits, prohibited operating zones, and multiple generator fuel o
