Frequency-dependent selection fosters the diversity of populations but does not always increase the average fitness of the population
Fitness, on the other hand, does not necessarily rise with frequency-dependent selection
The second Max Planck Center in India was opened on 23 September 2011: the Indo-German Max Planck Center on Lipid Research. The Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) in Dresden and the National Centre of Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bangalore are responsible for this project.
Germany, on the other hand, can establish an “outpost” in a country that is modernising
Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft verdoppet das Preisgeld des Prinz von Asturien-Preises aus eigenen Mitteln, um junge spanische Nachwuchswissenschaftler zu fördern.

Trifft Larissa Winkler ihre Freundinnen, kommt ihr Beruf selten zur Sprache. Denn die 19-Jährige dreht Gewinde, liest Schaltpläne und programmiert CNC-Fräsmaschinen. Am Max-Planck-Institut für Physik in München macht sie eine Ausbildung zur Industriemechanikerin.

What sounds paradoxical is reality: Black holes have a shadow! In the Messier 87 galaxy, astronomers were able to observe such a phenomenon for the first time with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). The Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn had a first row seat. Anton Zensus heads the “Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry” department. The Department deals with a technique that enabled the discovery in the first place. We talked to Anton Zensus, Chairman of the EHT Collaboration Council, about how the successful observation came about and what the results mean.
On one hand, the heart of our Milky Way is hidden in a dense fog of charged particles
A new analysis of samples from the asteroid Ryugu calls into question previous ideas about the formation of carbon-rich asteroids and the birthplace of Ryugu itself

Cells made from water in oil: Using microfluidics technology, a Franco-German research team first generates tiny droplets (top) into which the components of a simple metabolism are then injected (bottom). A team led by J. Lelieveld from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and his Halo research aircraft also found out that it also spreads air pollutants all over the world.
Chemically, this has two effects: on the one hand, their solubility and thus their
To be successful strict local containment and low number of cross-regional infections are crucial
With these data at hand, it would be much more effective to discuss concrete measures
As would-be criminals heed stay-at-home orders, major cities across the globe have reported a significant drop in both property and violent crimes. The numbers of burglary, assault, murder, robbery, and grand larceny cases have dropped following the outbreak of the pandemic. This is due to the lack of opportunities, and the recognition that life is worth staying away from the public for. But for many, we are living in an utmost dreadful time, and it is still not over: victims of intimate partner violence are likely to suffer more under a constant threat when staying at home together with their aggressors.
This is a complex state of denial of individual rights, walking hand in hand with
Electronically generated rhythms are often perceived as too artificial. New software now allows producers to make rhythms sound more natural in computer-produced music. Research at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) and at Harvard University forms the basis for new and patented methods of electronically generated rhythms according to patterns of musicians following fractal statistical laws. The process, which produces natural-sounding rhythms, has now been licensed to Mixed In Key LLC, whose music software is used worldwide by leading music producers and internationally renowned DJs. A product called “Human Plugins”, which uses this technology, has now been launched.
