A simple mathematical model of gradual Darwinian evolution: Emergence of a Gaussian trait distribution in adaptation along a fitness gradient [PDF]

, 2013
We consider a simple mathematical model of gradual Darwinian evolution in continuous time and continuous trait space, due to intraspecific competition for common resource in an asexually reproducing population in constant environment, while far from ...

Power and Autistic Traits [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Autistic traits can help people gain and sustain power, and has probably done so throughout history, says the present paper. A number of testable claims follow from this assumption. First, the powerful should have more autistic traits than others - which they do appear to have.

Quantification of Facial Traits [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Measuring facial traits by quantitative means is a prerequisite to investigate epidemiological, clinical, and forensic questions. This measurement process has received intense attention in recent years. We divided this process into the registration of the face, landmarking, morphometric quantification, and dimension reduction.

From lactation to malignancy: A comparison between healthy and cancerous breast gland at single‐cell resolution reveals new issues for tumorigenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals an opposite role of SLPI in basal tumors based on metastatic spread, along with shared activation of specific regulons in cancer cells and mature luminal lactocytes, as well as downregulation of MALAT1 and NEAT1 in the latter.

Local genetic sex differences in quantitative traits

Nature Communications
Many traits show small global sex differences in genetic correlations and heritability. However, how these differences are distributed across the genome remains unknown. Here, we use LAVA to test for local genetic sex differences in genetic correlations,

The curvilinear relationship between work pressure and momentary task performance: The role of state and trait Core Self-Evaluations

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Whereas several studies have demonstrated that Core Self-Evaluations (CSE)–or one’s appraisals about one’s own self-worth, capabilities, and competences–relate to job outcomes, less is known about the mechanisms underlying these relationships.

Discrete evolutionary population models: a new approach

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2020
In this paper, we apply a new approach to a special class of discrete time evolution models and establish a solid mathematical foundation to analyse them. We propose new single and multi-species evolutionary competition models using the evolutionary game

Multivariate Animal Model-based Analysis of Fiber Traits in Kashmir Merino Sheep

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
An attempt was made in the present study to elucidate the (co)variance components and genetic parameters of fiber traits in Kashmir Merino sheep population using multivariate animal model.

Direct and indirect effects of mood on risk decision making in safety-critical workers [PDF]

, 2012
The study aimed to examine the direct influence of specific moods (fatigue, anxiety, happiness) on risk in safety-critical decision making. It further aimed to explore indirect effects, specifically, the potential mediating effects of information ...

Stateful traits and their formalization [PDF]

Computer Languages, Systems & Structures, 2008
Traits offer a fine-grained mechanism to compose classes from reusable components while avoiding problems of fragility brought by multiple inheritance and mixins. Traits as originally proposed are stateless, that is, they contain only methods, but no instance variables.
