The uptake of anthropogenic CO2 emissions by oceans has started decreasing pH and carbonate ion concentrations of seawater, a process called ocean acidification (OA). Occurring over centuries and many generations, evolutionary adaptation and epigenetic transfer will change species responses to OA over time. Trans-generational responses, via genetic selection or trans-generational phenotypic pla...

The four studies in this special issue represent important advances in research on the intergenerational transmission of aggressive behavior. In this commentary, we review the key features and findings of these studies, as well as our own cross-generational study of aggression, the Columbia County Longitudinal Study. Next, we consider important theoretical issues (e.g., defining and operational...

This study contributes to the discussion on video telephony for inter-generational family communication. We present an evaluation of 11 alternative interaction options next to the standard options “accept” or “decline” for video telephony in 10 family scenarios with 20 grandchildren and 20 grandparents. Results highlight a differentiated view of the two generations on family situations for inte...

A Generation can be defined by the changes in the common behavior of its populace when compared with its predecessors. It is normally assumed that each generation comprises of individuals born in span of 15-20 yrs, with some born within generational boundaries exhibiting characteristics of both generations. This implies that it’s very likely that in an organizational pyramid, there exist roughl...

We analyze the performance of several copying garbage collection algorithms in a large address space offered by modern architectures. In particular, we describe the design and implementation of the RealOF garbage collector, an algorithm explicitly designed to exploit the features of 64-bit environments. This collector maintains a correspondence between object age and object placement in the add...
