Mutation Accumulation Underpins Evolution of Lifespan Extension by Dietary Restriction
Dietary restriction extends lifespan without trade‐offs between reproduction and somatic maintenance. An evolutionary model reveals that reduced fertility strengthens selection against mortality, while mutation accumulation may explain shorter lifespans under plentiful food. Experiments in Caenorhabditis elegans support this explanation.

ABSTRACT Whether public concern about risk rises or falls with national development has been debated for three decades, but the debate has compared countries hazard by hazard, asking how much people worry rather than how worry is organized. We provide a person‐centered analysis of everyday worry at global scale, applying latent class analysis to the ...

Making mathematics meaningful: Using student-initiated problems to situate mathematics [PDF]
Mathematics is everywhere-from the minute we open our eyes to check the alarm clock and calculate how many minutes extra we can afford to lie in bed, to measuring out our cereal for breakfast and estimating if we have enough petrol to make the 18 ...

Bivariate variable ranking for censored time‐to‐event data via Copula link based additive models
Abstract In this article, we present a variable ranking approach based on a novel measure for selecting important variables in bivariate Copula Link‐Based Additive Models [30]. The proposal allows for identifying two sets of relevant covariates for the two time‐to‐events without neglecting the dependency structure that may exist between the two ...

ABSTRACT Evidence on the comparative effectiveness of HPV testing versus cytology specifically in women aged ≥ 50 years who are approaching screening cessation remains limited. This analysis included 6471 women aged ≥ 50 at baseline screening in the HPV FOCAL randomized clinical trial. Women were randomly allocated to receive cytology (Control Group, n
