Evolutionary graph theory revisited: when is an evolutionary process equivalent to the Moran process?
Evolution in finite populations is often modelled using the classical Moran process. Over the last 10 years, this methodology has been extended to structured populations using evolutionary graph theory. An important question in any such population is whether a rare mutant has a higher or lower chance of fixating (the fixation probability) than the Moran probability, i.e. that from the original Moran model, which represents an unstructured population. As evolutionary graph theory has developed, different ways of considering the interactions between individuals through a graph and an associated matrix of weights have been considered, as have a number of important dynamics. In this paper, we revisit the original paper on evolutionary graph theory in light of these extensions to consider these developments in an integrated way. In particular, we find general criteria for when an evolutionary graph with general weights satisfies the Moran probability for the set of six common evolutionary dynamics
Interactions between magnetohydrodynamic shear instabilities and convective flows in the solar interior
Motivated by the interface model for the solar dynamo, this paper explores
the complex magnetohydrodynamic interactions between convective flows and
shear-driven instabilities. Initially, we consider the dynamics of a forced
shear flow across a convectively-stable polytropic layer, in the presence of a
vertical magnetic field. When the imposed magnetic field is weak, the dynamics
are dominated by a shear flow (Kelvin-Helmholtz type) instability. For stronger
fields, a magnetic buoyancy instability is preferred. If this stably stratified
shear layer lies below a convectively unstable region, these two regions can
interact. Once again, when the imposed field is very weak, the dynamical
effects of the magnetic field are negligible and the interactions between the
shear layer and the convective layer are relatively minor. However, if the
magnetic field is strong enough to favour magnetic buoyancy instabilities in
the shear layer, extended magnetic flux concentrations form and rise into the
convective layer. These magnetic structures have a highly disruptive effect
upon the convective motions in the upper layer.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA
Esophageal Perforation Due to a Calcium Supplement Tablet
Pill-induced esophagitis due to calcium supplements is extremely uncommon. We present a 60-year-old female patient with pill-induced esophageal perforation complicated by mediastinal abscess and esophago-pleural fistula following ingestion of a single over-the-counter “bone supplement” tablet containing mainly calcium
