Energetic mechanisms for coping with changes in resource availability

Identify Coping Mechanisms to Deal with Stressors in Military Personnel

Background and Aim: The military personnel face many stressors. This study aimed to identify coping mechanisms in the face of stressors in military personnel. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study and the sample was 384 of staffs affiliated to Iranian Navy Force, who were selected by cluster random sampling. Data collection tools were demographic questionnaire, a military stressors questionn...

Coping in Context: Associations Between Resource Availability and Coping Effectiveness Among Emancipated Foster Youth

Emancipated foster youth face unique challenges in the context of few resources as they transition into adulthood. This investigation examined associations between resource availability and coping effectiveness in a sample of 172 emancipated foster youth (66.3% female; Mage 1⁄4 19.63 years; 27.5% Hispanic, 24.0% African American, 15.8% Caucasian, and 32.7% multiracial). Regression analyses eval...

Mushroom phenological changes: a role for resource availability?

Coping with cyclic oxygen availability: evolutionary aspects.

Both the gradual rise in atmospheric oxygen over the Proterozoic Eon as well as episodic fluctuations in oxygen over several million-year time spans during the Phanerozoic Era, have arguably exerted strong selective forces on cellular and organismic respiratory specialization and evolution. The rise in atmospheric oxygen, some 2 billion years after the origin of life, dramatically altered cell ...

Energetic reasoning for energy-constrained scheduling with a continuous resource

This paper addresses a scheduling problem with continuous resources and energy constraints. Given a set of non-preemptive activities, each activity requires a continuously-divisible resource whose instantaneous usage is limited in maximum and minimum, its processing satisfying a time window and a total energy (time × resource-usage) requirement. The goal consists in getting a schedule satisfyin...
