Avoidance of Selection

2016
Avoidance of selection in captive populations of wild species is discussed in the context of maintenance of original genetic variation. The complexity of identifying advantageous and disadvantageous alleles is illustrated with sickle cell haemoglobin in humans and clutch size in great tits.

Selection for shuttle avoidance in wildMus musculus

Behavior Genetics, 1978
Within-families artificial selection produced differential avoidance behavior in a population of laboratory-reared wildMus musculus. The six lines of a replicated lines design consisted of six breeding pairs each. Scores on the final day of a 5-day shuttle-avoidance task diverged by the third generation for high and low lines of each replication ...

Avoiding selection bias in metabolomics studies: a tutorial

Metabolomics, 2019
Metabolomics techniques are increasingly applied in epidemiologic research. Many available assays are still relatively expensive and therefore measurements are often performed in small patient population studies such as case series or case-control designs with strong participant selection criteria. Subsequently, metabolomics data are frequently used to

Structured interviewing: avoiding selection problems.

The Personnel journal, 1981
In place of the old-fashioned, casual interview, which is unreliable and occasionally invalid in the context of EEO and affirmative action developments, the authors propose the adoption of structured interviewing for job selection. They contend that objective testing--oral, written and physical--would be more reliable, avoid the labyrinth of EEO, and ...

Genetic selection for avoidance behavior in the rat

Behavior Genetics, 1979
Long-Evans rats were selectively bred for over 20 generations using two behavioral criteria: (1) limited responding to the warning signal during ten pretest trials and (2) either good or poor avoidance behavior during 60 avoidance training trials in a two-way shuttlebox.

Selection of obstacle avoidance reach trajectories

2014
In two experiments we studied the role of visual attention during the preparation of manual movements around an obstacle. Participants performed rapid hand movements to a goal position avoiding a central obstacle either on the right or on the left side, depending on the pitch of the acoustic go-signal.

Expatriate Selection: Insuring Success and Avoiding Failure [PDF]

Journal of International Business Studies, 1974
The experience of expatriate selection and assignment has been a mixed success for multinational firms. Several selection strategies have been used, but failure situations in individual assignment cases are known to be in nearly every multinational firm.

Dispute Avoidance and Settlement: Selected Aspects

2007
Abstract This concluding chapter highlights two propositions concerning the avoidance and settlement of disputes, specifically in the field of international watercourses. The first proposition is that it is believed desirable that problems relating to international watercourses be resolved on the private level, through courts and ...

Goal-Oriented Obstacle Avoidance Through Behavior Selection

SPIE Proceedings, 1987
This paper describes the functionality of a local planner module for autonomous mobile robots. As an intermediate layer of a hierarchical planning system for autonomous vehicles, this module translates goals provided by a map-based planner into general vehicle action modes called activities.

Avoiding problems: evidence-based selection of medical gloves

British Journal of Nursing, 2000
Allergenic contact reaction to glove proteins and residual chemicals increased from 1980 onwards; circumstantial and technical evidence indicates that change from reusable to disposable latex gloves was a causative factor. Several protein fractions are potentially allergenic; if low protein gloves contain a dominant protein fraction, people with ...
