The ability to make a living in the Arctic represents one of humanity’s truly exceptional achievements. The fact that it was accomplished by people who depended exclusively on wild (that is, uncultivated) resources attests to the levels of human imagination and ingenuity in creating cultural systems that effectively buffered against the physical elements of the Arctic. For these reasons, studie...

Key predistribution schemes for distributed sensor networks have received significant attention in the recent literature. In this paper we propose a new construction method for these schemes based on combinations of duals of standard block designs. Our method is a broad spectrum one which works for any intersection threshold. By varying the initial designs, we can generate various schemes and t...

The three key concepts of interdependency, resiliency and sustainability of a complex system have appeared in a number of studies and in various contexts. Nevertheless, little has been done to define and analyse them, especially the latter two, in a unified quantitative framework for engineering infrastructures. In this paper, we propose overarching mathematical modelling frameworks to quantify...

Longitudinal relations among ego-resiliency (ER), effortful control (EC), and observed intrusive parenting were examined at 18, 30, and 42 months of age (Ns = 256, 230, and 210) using structural equation modeling. Intrusive parenting at 18 and 30 months negatively predicted EC a year later, over and above earlier levels. EC at 30 months mediated the negative relation between 18-month intrusive ...
