We describe some simulations that compare cultural transmission between and within generations (inter-generational vs intra-generational transmission) in populations of embodied agents controlled by neural networks. Our results suggest that intra-generational transmission has the role of adding variability to the evolutionary process and that this function seems particularly useful when the pop...

Human-assisted, trans-generational exposure to ocean warming and acidification has been proposed as a conservation and/or restoration tool to produce resilient offspring. To improve our understanding of the need for and the efficacy of this approach, we characterized life-history and physiological responses in offspring of the marine polychaete Ophryotrocha labronica exposed to predicted ocean ...

Generational garbage collection is an established method for creating eecient garbage collectors. Even a simple implementation where all nodes that survive one garbage collection are tenured, i.e., moved to an old generation, works well in strict languages. In a lazy language, however, such an implementation can create severe temporary space leaks. The temporary space leaks appear in programs t...

this paper aims to examine the fun concept and age differences in attitudes toward workplace fun. the authors review the literature on workplace fun and generational theory. the fun in workplace was measured with karl et al.’s (2005) and generational cohort was measured by the respondents’ birth year using a sample of 296 workers at a industrial company in south west of tehran. according to res...

BACKGROUND Migrant populations consist of migrants with differences in generational status and length of residence. Several studies suggest that health outcomes differ by generational status and duration of residence. We examined the association of generational status and age at immigration of the mother with infant mortality in migrant populations in The Netherlands. METHODS Data from Statis...

Multigenerational workplaces bring a varied range of talents but present distinct challenges for employers. Generational differences can lead to lack of understanding, compromised communication, and decreased productivity. We examine the problem of generational differences through the lenses of two complementary generational theories. Generational differences are explored from the perspectives ...
