this study attempts to answer the question of distinguishing appropriate intensity measure parameter for performance-based design or assessment, taking into account the efficiency aspect. the comprehensive comparative tables proposed in this paper could be an effective support in the decision making procedure for intensity measure selection, comprising most of the frequently utilized intensity ...

One method to estimate the wave spectrum onboard ships is to use measured ship responses. In this method, known also as Wave Buoy Analogy, amongst various responses that are available from sensor measurements, a couple of responses (at least three) are usually utilized. Selection of the best combination of ship responses is important. Optimally, this selection should not be implemented manually...

Experiments with two stimuli and two responses have revealed a central attentional bottleneck and pointed to response selection as its primary locus; however, little has been said about the underlying reasons for this bottleneck. Here we explore these reasons. In the first three experiments, Ss made two separate responses to different aspects of the same object. Interference between selection o...

Selection in mice for high and low fat percentage and high and low lean percentage, based on indicator traits of total composition, point to moderately high heritabilities which are in agreement with base population estimates calculated as regressions of sons on sires. Selection for a single fat depot, epididymal fat pad weight as a percentage of body weight at 12-weeks of age, resulted in corr...

pollen grains as well as whole plants of four olive (olea europaea l.) cultivars were screened for nacl salinity stress. different vegetative and physiological indexes of the cultivars were analyzed. leaf and root na/k ratio as well as stomatal resistance of plants exposed to salinity proved to be appropriate indexes of whole plant response to salt stress. whereas, in vitro pollen germination p...

Falconer's concept that performance in environment 2 is a different trait from performance in environment 1 allows calculation of expected response in environment 2 if selection is from environment 1. Response to selection in environment 1 and correlated response in environment 2 depend on heritability and phenotypic variance in environment 1, genetic covariance between performance of identical...

Genetic correlations are often predictive of correlated responses of one trait to selection on another trait. There are examples, however, in which genetic correlations are not predictive of correlated responses. We examine how well a cross-environment genetic correlation predicts correlated responses to selection and the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in the seed beetle Stator limbatus. Th...
