Results from the artificial life community show that under some conditions evolving populations converge on broader, but less fit peaks in the fitness landscape and avoid more fit, but narrower peaks. Results from the evolutionary computation community show that over time genotypes evolve to become more resilient, where resiliency (or genetic robustness) is defined as the ability of an individu...

The current study was designed to assess the effect of a Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) program for increasing resiliency and decreasing stress and anxiety among a group of mentors who themselves previously were diagnosed with breast...

Because the PUF taps into the random variation during an IC fabrication process, the secret is extremely difficult to predict or extract and thus in terms of five following characteristics they are more powerful than RFIDs: 1) Unpredictability 2) Resiliency against reverse engineering 3) Stability against voltage variations 4) stability against imperfection of arbiters 5) Resiliency against dig...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been associated with reduced leukocyte telomere length (LTL). It is not known, however, whether psychosocial and behavioral protective factors moderate this association. In the current study, we examine whether multisystem resiliency--defined by healthy emotion regulation, strong social connections, and health behaviors (sleep and exercise)--predicts LTL and ...

conclusions: relationships between the spiritual intelligence and resiliency parameters with withdrawal time show that these parameters can have a role in relapse protection among addicted people. results: there were significant positive correlations between resiliency and scores of spiritual intelligence as well as with subscales of spiritual intelligence. in addition, there were significant p...
