longevity, survivorship, and fecundity of trissolcusbasalis wholaston were studied on sunn pest eggs at 17.5, 20, 25, 27, 30 and 35˚c (all ±0.5), 60±5% rh and 16:8 h l:d. the preliminary results revealed an effect of temperature on the mentioned traits. in general, longevity decreased as temperature increased and ranged from 53.28±5.9 to 10.68±1.13 days when temperature leveled up from 17.5 to ...

Although perceived continuity with one's future self has attracted increasing research interest, age differences in this phenomenon remain poorly understood. The present study is the first to simultaneously examine past and future self-continuity across multiple temporal distances using both explicit and implicit measures and controlling for a range of theoretically implicated covariates in an ...

In this paper, the effect of a change in the distribution of age differences between sexual partners on the dynamics of the HIV epidemic is studied. In a gender- and age-structured compartmental model, it is shown that if the variance of the distribution is small enough, an increase in this variance strongly increases the basic reproduction number. Moreover, if the variance is large enough, the...
