Ionizing radiation and offspring sex ratio.
tends to have a predictable effect on smoking cessation. However, from a social perspective, it is fairly certain (to within relatively narrow confidence limits) how many cases of lung cancer or cardiac events will be avoided if 10000 persons stop smoking. What this illustrates is that social benefit is more certain than individual benefit. In other words, if we are concerned with a social pers...
متن کاملTerritory Quality and Plumage Morph Predict Offspring Sex Ratio Variation in a Raptor.
Parents may adapt their offspring sex ratio in response to their own phenotype and environmental conditions. The most significant causes for adaptive sex-ratio variation might express themselves as different distributions of fitness components between sexes along a given variable. Several causes for differential sex allocation in raptors with reversed sexual size dimorphism have been suggested....
متن کاملVariable Variation: Annual and Seasonal Changes in Offspring Sex Ratio in a Bat
Many organisms produce offspring with sex-ratios that deviate from equal numbers of males and females, and numerous adaptive explanations have been proposed. In some species, offspring sex-ratio varies across the reproductive season, again with several explanations as to why this might be adaptive. However, patterns for birds and mammals are inconsistent, and multiple factors are likely involve...
متن کامل2nd to 4th digit ratio and offspring sex ratio.
There is evidence that the ratio of the length of the 2nd and 4th digit (2D:4D) is negatively related to prenatal and adult concentrations of testosterone. It has also been reported that high levels of testosterone at conception in both fathers and mothers are associated with an increased sex ratio (proportion of males at birth). It follows from these observations that low values of 2D:4D may b...
متن کاملCoordinated resource scheduling in a large scale virtual power plant considering demand response and energy storages
Virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective approach to aggregate distributed generation resources under a central control. This paper introduces a mixed-integer linear programming model for optimal scheduling of the internal resources of a large scale VPP in order to maximize its profit. The proposed model studies the effect of a demand response (DR) program on the scheduling of the VPP. The pro...
