The article starts with the introduction of the Lithuanian reader into the expected utility theory which is the core of the decision theory known under the name of the rational choice theory or by the name of the thin theory of practical rationality too.This theroy conceives practical rationality as maximization of the expected utility defined as t
The Monarch Butterfly as a Model for Understanding the Role of Environmental Sensory Cues in Long-Distance Migratory Phenomena
The awe-inspiring annual migration of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) is an iconic example of long-distance migratory phenomena in which environmental sensory cues help drive successful migration.In this mini-review article, I begin by describing how studies on monarch migration can provide us with generalizable information on how sensory cu
Insights into targeting LKB1 in tumorigenesis
Genetic alterations to serine-threonine kinase 11 (STK11) have been implicated in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and tumorigenesis.Further exploration of the context-specific roles of liver kinase B1 (LKB1; encoded by STK11) observed that it Bag regulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and AMPK-related kinases.Given that both migration and proliferati
Bioinformatic Exploration of Metal-Binding Proteome of Zoonotic Pathogen Orientia tsutsugamushi
Metal ions are involved in many essential biological processes and are crucial for the survival of all organisms.Identification of metal-binding proteins (MBPs) of human affecting pathogens may provide the blueprint for understanding biological metal usage and their putative roles in pathogenesis.This study is focused on the analysis of MBPs from O
A Non-Parametric Test for a Two-Way Analysis of Variance
The methodology carried out in this work is based on non-parametric inference.The problem is framed as a regression analysis, and the solution is derived using the permutation approach.The proposed test does not rely Dog Bone on the assumption that the distribution of the response follows a specific family of probability laws, unlike other parametr
