Adaptive theory predicts that mothers would be advantaged by adjusting the sex ratio of their offspring in relation to their offspring's future reproductive success. Studies investigating sex ratio variation in mammals have produced notoriously inconsistent results, although recent studies suggest more consistency if sex ratio variation is related to maternal condition at conception, potentiall...

Extreme mobility of the joints is of great advantage to an acrobat, permitting him to assume fascinating postures. When the condition appears in infancy, however, it may be quite alarming, as it may easily be confused with serious organic disease if the features are not known. There are two basic disturbances in this condition: (1) Abnormal mobility of the bones at the joints, and (2) extreme h...

climate is the most important factor which control desertification .in order to detect climate changes in desert zones, time trend analysis is applied to extreme indices in kashan station using extreme climate index software (ecis). results show significant trends in extreme indices during the past decade 1995-2004 and the pronounced warming is associated with a negative trend in cold extremes....

In this paper we consider the infinite relaxation of the corner polyhedron with 2 rows. For the 1-row case, Gomory and Johnson proved in their seminal paper a sufficient condition for a minimal function to be extreme, the celebrated 2-Slope Theorem. Despite increased interest in understanding the multiple row setting, no generalization of this theorem was known for this case. We present an exte...

The claim that listening to extreme music causes anger, and expressions of anger such as aggression and delinquency have yet to be substantiated using controlled experimental methods. In this study, 39 extreme music listeners aged 18-34 years were subjected to an anger induction, followed by random assignment to 10 min of listening to extreme music from their own playlist, or 10 min silence (co...

Using outdoor public spaces as a place of social interaction is in a great consideration these days. Providing tolerable thermal condition as long as possible is one of the primary stage for people’s presence in these places. Outdoor thermal indices are introduced to help architects making appropriate decisions in climate responsive design procedure. By doing some field study research in extr...

Rates of convergence of the distribution of the extreme order statistic to its limit distribution are given in the uniform metric and the total variation metric. A second{order regular variation condition is imposed by supposing a von Mises type condition which allows a uniied treatment. Rates are constructed from the parameters of the second{order regular variation condition. Some connections ...

Necessary and sufficient coefficient bounds and convolution condition for certain multivalent harmonic functions whose convolution with generalized hypergeometric functions is starlike of order γ are investigated. Results on extreme points, convex combination and distortion bounds using the coefficient condition are also obtained. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 30C45, 30C50
