Propensity Score Augmentation in Matching-based Estimation of Causal Effects [PDF]
arXivWhen assessing the causal effect of a binary exposure using observational data, confounder imbalance across exposure arms must be addressed. Matching methods, including propensity score-based matching, can be used to deconfound the causal relationship of interest. They have been particularly popular in practice, at least in part due to their simplicity

Frequency and Viability of Diploid and Haploid Males Offsprings of Mated Females of Solitary Endoparasitoid (DIADROMUS Pulchellus) (Ichneumonidae) [PDF]
Comptes Rendus de l'Academie des Sciences. Serie 3, Sciences de la
Vie 324 (2001) 149-158, 2006 Sex determination in the order Hymenoptera is based on arrhenotoky, hymenopteran males are usually haploid and females diploid. Males of the Ichneumonidae Diadromus pulchellus, solitary endoparasitoid of A. assectella pupae are normally haploid, but diploid males are present in a natural population and can be obtained in a experimental population.

Modeling sexual selection in Túngara frog and rationality of mate choice [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The males of the specie of frogs Engystomops pustulosus produce simple and com- plex calls to lure females, as a way of Intersexual selection. Complex calls lead males to a greater reproductive success than simple calls do. However, the complex calls are also more attractive to the main predator of these amphibians, the bat Trachops cirrhosus ...

Proceedings of the 26th IEEE International Conference on Software
Analysis, Evolution and Reengineering, 2018, 2018 Background: As most of the software development organizations are male-dominated, female developers encountering various negative workplace experiences reported feeling like they "do not belong". Exposures to discriminatory expletives or negative critiques from their male colleagues may further exacerbate those feelings.

Mating Instabilities Lead to Sympatric Speciation [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 One of the most challenging issues of evolutionary biology concerns speciation, the emergence of new species from an initial one. The huge amount of species found in nature demands a simple and robust mechanism. Yet, no consensus has been reached concerning a reasonable disruptive selection mechanism that prevents mixing genes among the emerging ...
