CONTRACTOR SELECTION FOR PERFORMANCE‐BASED MAINTENANCE PARTNERSHIPS

International Journal of Strategic Property Management, 2007
Dutch housing associations use new procurement methods such as performance‐based maintenance partnerships for maintaining their housing stock.

The Maintenance of Sex by Group Selection [PDF]

Evolution, 1989
The traditional group-selection model for the maintenance of sex is based upon the assumption that the long-term evolutionary benefits of sexual reproduction result in asexual lineages having a higher extinction rate than sexual species. This model is reexamined, as is a related model that incorporates the possibility that sexual and asexual lines ...

Serial representation of items during working memory maintenance at letter-selective cortical sites. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2018
A key component of working memory is the ability to remember multiple items simultaneously. To understand how the human brain maintains multiple items in memory, we examined direct brain recordings of neural oscillations from neurosurgical patients as ...
