Life history traits determine the organismal abundance within a population and are affected by the presence of trade-offs that modify relationships between traits.These relationships can vary across different environments either by local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity.Reproductive traits have direct fitness implications and therefore are suita
Abstract In network science, identifying optimal partitions of a signed network into internally cohesive and mutually divisive clusters based on generalized balance theory is computationally challenging.We reformulate and generalize two binary linear programming models that tackle this challenge, demonstrating their practicality by applying them to
In this study, it was investigated how domain-specific (number sense) and domain-general (working memory, creativity) factors explain the variance in mathematical abilities in primary school children.A total of 166 children aged 8 to 10 years old participated.Several tests to measure math ability, mathematical creativity, number sense, verbal and v
A successful guaranteed launch of a SPST 9V Relay mainline diesel locomotive is one of the most important and urgent problems of the rolling stock operation.Improvement of the start-up system of the main diesel locomotive when using a supercapacitor allows multiple restarts of diesel locomotives, meaning that the operation of the diesel locomotive
Quantum mechanics is compatible with scenarios where the relative order between two Bench Oven events can be indefinite.Here we show that two independent instances of a noisy process can behave as a perfect quantum communication channel when used in a coherent superposition of two alternative orders.This phenomenon occurs even if the original proce
