Viral Long-Term Evolutionary Strategies Favor Stability over Proliferation

Long-term stability of the cortisol awakening response over adolescence

The cortisol awakening response (CAR) has been widely assessed as a measure of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. Short-term stability is high; however, little is known about the long-term stability of the CAR. Because there are indications that development in adolescence influences HPA axis activity, this study investigated the stability of the CAR over adolescence. Participan...

Long Term versus Short Term Evolutionary Design

Handout on Evolutionary Stability in pure strategies

October 9, 2007 Suppose that strategies or behavior in games are not chosen by reasoning people, but instead are `hard-wired' by the players' genes. Suppose further that those strategies that are relatively successful (or rather, the genes associated with those strategies and behaviors) grow while less successful strategies die out. We might want to ask what strategies will be selected by such ...

the effect of teaching vocabulary through memory learning strategies on iranian intermediate efl learners long-term vocabulary retention

بسیاری از دبیران و دانش آموزان بر این باورند که یادگیری لغات آسان است و شیوه های مختلفی برای یادگیری وجود دارد گرچه یادآوری لغات پس از مدت طولانی بسیار دشوار و پرزحمت است . هدف از این تحقیق آن است که تاثیر استراتژی های حافظه بر روی نگهداری بلند مدت لغات در زبان آموزان خانم سطح متوسط در ایران را بررسی کند. قبل از شروع تدریس، آزمون تعیین سطحی به منظور داشتن زبان آموزان یک سطح برگزار شده و بر اساس...

Description of Evolutionary Strategies over continous Parameter

Several standard processes for searching minima of potential functions, such as thermodynamical strategies (simulated annealing) and biologically motivated self-reproduction strategies, are reduced to Schrr odinger eigenvalue problems. The properties of the landscape and the dynamics of the optimization are encoded in the spectrum of the Hamiltonian, which is diierent in both cases. We discuss ...
