Abstract Background Female mate choice may be adaptive when males exhibit heritable genetic variation at loci encoding resistance to infectious disease.The Hamilton-Zuk hypothesis predicts that females should assess the genetic quality of males by monitoring traits that indicate health and vigor (condition-dependent choice, or CD).Alternatively, so

We propose a novel approach to address the problem of measurement accuracy in analyzing the distance between the peak positions of interference envelopes in multi-pulse train (MPT) interferometry.In the frequency domain, a bandpass filter cannot remove all noise since the deterministic signal and noise overlap in the frequency domain.In the propose
