Although several studies have linked Life History Strategy (LHS) variation with variation in the Five Factor Model personality dimensions, no published research has explored the relationship of LHS to the HEXACO personality dimensions. The theoretically expected relationship of the HEXACO Emotionality factor to LHS is unclear. The results of two studies (N = 641) demonstrated that LHS indicator...

Previously it has been found that an important risk buffering strategy in the Saami reindeer husbandry in Norway is the accumulation of large herds of reindeer as this increases long-term household viability. Nevertheless, few studies have investigated how official policies, such as economic compensation for livestock losses, can influence pastoral strategies. This study investigated the effect...

Previous correlational research shows that childhood adversity is associated with earlier age of reproduction in humans and other species. Such studies, however, cannot show that stressful conditions cause earlier reproduction. Using the cold-pressor task, we built on previous work to test the idea that acute stress influences human reproductive and marital ideals, and that individual stress re...

This paper reports different strategies for electrical dispersion compensation of optical single sideband transmission systems. We investigate and compare the mitigation of the chromatic dispersion impairment using dispersive microstrip lines, Butterworth filters, and hybrid schemes employing an adaptive filter. Simulation results are presented at 10 Gbit/s, proving transmission over 600km of d...

Sheet metal forming is a major industrial process, mainly due to its cost efficiency after the establishment of the process design. However, the process design from tools geometry to load conditions is not straightforward, as a consequence of the side effects associated with sheet metal forming. The emphasis in this area goes to the springback effect or elastic recovery, which is one of the mai...

The present study aims to explain why research thus far has found only low to moderate associations between burnout and performance. We argue that employees use adaptive strategies that help them to maintain their performance (i.e., task performance, adaptivity to change) at acceptable levels despite experiencing burnout (i.e., exhaustion, disengagement). We focus on the strategies included in ...

Dosage compensation balances gene expression levels between the sex chromosomes and autosomes and sex-chromosome-linked gene expression levels between the sexes. Different dosage compensation strategies evolved in different lineages, but all involve changes in chromatin. This paper discusses our current understanding of how modifications of the histone H4 tail, particularly changes in levels of...
