On the emergence of the correlation between life expectancy and the variance in the age at death

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Recent empirical studies have found various patterns in the correlations between lifespan inequality and life expectancy in modern human populations. However, it is unclear how general these regularities are. Here we establish three theorems that provide

Lifespan estimates for 1d damped wave equation with zero moment initial data [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In this manuscript, a sharp lifespan estimate of solutions to semilinear classical damped wave equation is investigated in one dimensional case when the Fourier 0th moment of sum of initial position and speed is $0$. Especially, it is shown that the behavior of lifespan changes with $p=3/2$ with respect to the size of the initial data.

Lifespan Changes in Global and Selective Stopping and Performance Adjustments [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2011
This study examined stopping and performance adjustments in four age groups (M ages: 8, 12, 21, and 76 years). All participants performed on three tasks, a standard two-choice task and the same task in which stop-signal trials were inserted requiring either the suppression of the response activated by the choice stimulus (global stop task) or the ...

Analysis and Prediction of Gap Dynamics in a Secondary Deciduous Broadleaf Forest of Central Japan Using Airborne Multi-LiDAR Observations

Remote Sensing, 2020
Gaps are important for growth of vegetation on the forest floor. However, monitoring of gaps in large areas is difficult. Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data make precise gap mapping possible.

Changing personality traits with the help of a digital personality change intervention

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Personality traits have consequences and are malleable throughout the lifespan. However, it is unclear if and how personality traits can be changed in desired directions.

Change and Continuity in Attitudes Toward Homosexuality Across the Lifespan [PDF]

Journal of Homosexuality, 2022
This study examines differential stability in attitudes toward homosexuality using panel data representative of the American adult population. While attitudes toward homosexuality have shifted considerably on the aggregate-level over the past few decades, this study shows that such attitudes are remarkably stable on the individual-level.

Regulation of lifespan by chemosensory and thermosensory systems: findings in invertebrates and their implications in mammalian aging

Frontiers in Genetics, 2012
Many environmental factors that dynamically change in nature influence various aspects of animal physiology. Animals are equipped with sensory neuronal systems that help them properly sense and respond to environmental factors. Several studies have shown

Stochastic colonization of hosts with a finite lifespan can drive individual host microbes out of equilibrium.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2020
Macroorganisms are inhabited by microbial communities that often change through the lifespan of an individual. One of the factors contributing to this change is colonization from the environment.

Entrepreneurs’ age, institutions, and social value creation goals: a multi-country study [PDF]

, 2020
This study explores the relationship between an entrepreneur's age and his/her social value creation goals. Building on the lifespan developmental psychology literature and institutional theory, we hypothesize a U-shaped relationship between ...
