Linking differences in personality to demography in the wandering albatross
Population dynamics are shaped by individual differences. With a good understanding of the relationships between individual differences and vital rates, population models can be improved to yield more realistic and detailed demographic projections. Personality is expected to shape individual differences in performance.

Realpolitik and multistate system stability [PDF]
This paper describes a project focused on the theoretical value of realism to the study of international relations. A large number of the primary assumptions and propositions within realism are detailed and evaluated in light of results drawn from ...

ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive metabolic disorder that could be an underlying cause of long‐term complications that increase mortality. The assessment of the probability of such events could be essential for mortality risk management. This work aimed to establish a framework for risk predictions of macrovascular complications (MVC) and

Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model
A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Optimal planning of stand-alone microgrids incorporating reliability
This paper proposes a new method for the planning of stand-alone microgrids. By means of clustering techniques, possible operating scenarios are obtained considering the daily patterns of wind and load profiles.

ABSTRACT Empirical evidence of population demographic responses to environmental perturbations is a major knowledge gap for aquatic vertebrate populations. Extensive habitat alteration including channelization of headwater streams influences the habitat template on which small‐bodied fish are dependent to carry out distinct life stages and maintain or ...

Dynamical order and many-body correlations in zebrafish show that three is a crowd
Zebrafish constitute a convenient laboratory–based biological system for studying collective behavior. It is possible to interpret a group of zebrafish as a system of interacting agents and to apply methods developed for the analysis of systems of active
