Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

197
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Migration

8.9K
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Cell Migration01:19

Cell Migration

6.5K
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.

Cell Migration

Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

Tonicity in Animals00:59

Tonicity in Animals

123.4K
The tonicity of a solution determines if a cell gains or loses water in that solution. The tonicity depends on the permeability of the cell membrane for different solutes and the concentration of nonpenetrating solutes in the solution within and outside of the cell. If a semipermeable membrane hinders the passage of some solutes but allows water to follow its concentration gradient, water moves from the side with low osmolarity (i.e., less solute) to the side with higher osmolarity (i.e.,...

Tonicity in Animals

Tonicity describes the amount of solute in a solution. The measure of the tonicity of a solution, or the total amount of solutes dissolved in a specific amount of solution, is called its osmolarity. Three terms—hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic—are used to relate the osmolarity of a cell to the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid that contains the cells. In a hypotonic solution, such as tap water, the extracellular fluid has a lower concentration of solutes than the fluid inside...

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical Biology
  • Ecology
  • Game Theory

Background:

  • Animal migration is crucial for population dynamics but challenging to model due to environmental uncertainty and variable migration patterns.
  • Conventional models struggle to capture the complexities of migration timings and magnitudes.
  • Robust control and game theory offer potential frameworks for addressing these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel stochastic differential game model for animal migration between two habitats.
  • To incorporate environmental uncertainty using multiplier robust control.
  • To determine optimal migration strategies that maximize minimal profit.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation of a stochastic differential game model with impulse control formalism.
  • Application of multiplier robust control for environmental uncertainty.
  • Solution via a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman quasi-variational inequality (HJBQVI).
  • Numerical solution using a specialized stable and convergent finite difference scheme.

Main Results:

  • The optimal migration strategy is determined by the free boundary of the HJBQVI.
  • The sub-additivity of the performance index critically influences the migration strategy.
  • Computational results validate theoretical predictions and underscore the importance of sub-additivity.
  • Quantification of social interaction's role in reducing net mortality rate.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model provides a new framework for understanding animal migration under uncertainty.
  • The free boundary of the HJBQVI is a key indicator for optimal migration timing and magnitude.
  • Sub-additivity of the performance index is a critical factor in strategy determination.
  • The model suggests a link between migration dynamics and social interactions affecting population survival.
