Comparing strengths of directional selection: how strong is strong?
The fundamental equation in evolutionary quantitative genetics, the Lande equation, describes the response to directional selection as a product of the additive genetic variance and the selection gradient of trait value on relative fitness. Comparisons of both genetic variances and selection gradients across traits or populations require standardization, as both are scale dependent. The Lande e...
متن کاملHow strong is Nisanʼs pseudo-random generator?
We study the resilience of the classical pseudo-random generator (PRG) of Nisan [Nis92] against space-bounded machines that make multiple passes over the input. Our motivation comes from the derandomization of BPNC. Observe that if for every log-space machine that reads its input n times there is a PRG fooling this machine, then in particular we fool NC circuits. Nisan’s PRG is known to fool lo...
متن کاملHow Strong is the Love of Variety?
Models with monopolistic competition and constant elasticity of substitution (CES) preferences have become a mainstay of theoretical and empirical work in international trade. However, the standard model yields contrafactual predictions on the number of varieties, prices and output per variety that are traded. In particular the model predicts a rate of variety growth that is faster than that ob...
متن کاملValley Earthquake: More Evidence for an Asperity
The well-recorded strong ground motion data for the 23:19 aftershock of the 15 October 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake provide a good opportunity to study the high-frequency source characteristics and the path effects at near-source distances. The best-firing point source model has a strike-slip mechanism, N40°W, which is nearly identical to the main event. The estimated stress drop is extremel...
متن کاملWhy and How Is Compassion Necessary to Provide Good Healthcare? Comments From an Academic Physician; Comment on “Why and How Is Compassion Necessary to Provide Good Quality Healthcare?”
This is a short commentary to the editorial issued by Marianna Fotaki, entitled: “Why and how is compassion necessary to provide good quality healthcare.” It introduces the necessity of a more cognitive approach to explore further the determinants of behavior towards compassionate care. It raises questions about the importance of training towards a more patient-care and values driven healthcare...
