Women’s Status and Trade-Offs in Mate-Preferences
… on human behaviour. For mate preferences and trade-offs, sex differences are explained via two main theoretical orientations: Evolutionary Psychology (EP) models and Biosocial models. In EP, the differences observed between the sexes are the result of divergent sexual strategies as each sex …

Synergies and Trade-offs in Urban Green Infrastructure
… overlooking Ecosystem Disservices (EDs) and the trade-offs from competing goals. This thesis advances a multidimensional, causally informed understanding of how synergies and trade-offs in UGI are conceptualised in research and practice. It addresses four questions: how these synergies and …

Constraints on plant resistance and tolerance trade-offs
… is often studied in the context of ecological trade-offs and costs of tolerance (Strauss et al. 2002). It was initially theorized that resistance and tolerance represented two alternative and redundant defense strategies given limited nutrients and energy available in the struggle against …

Power and delay trade-offs in fading channels
… at the expense of higher transmission power. The trade-offs between the required power and various notions of delay are analyzed in this thesis. We consider a user communicating over a fading channel. Arriving data for this user is stored in buffer until it is transmitted. We develop several …

Exploring Trade-offs in the Hungarian Renewable Energy Market
… now only partial aspects of the RES-related trade-offs of the Hungarian energy market have been recognized. Due to the size and the diversity of the industry, the research has focused on one particular problem set (e.g., technology, value chain, strategy, regulatory) and only has a glimpse of …

Military budget decisions: inferring trade-offs using decision analysis
… to assess how the United States Army makes trade-offs involving monetary resources and the potential loss of human life. Data for the study looks at the Army budget for a four year period from 2008-2011, with a focus on spending for combat and suicide prevention, and the loss of life …

Exploiting fitness trade-offs to prevent antifungal drug resistance
… drug resistance is the outcome of diverse tradeoffs between the fitness benefits of resistance mutations and their costs upon the adaptive cellular factors that enable the evolution of new traits. I also pursued the discovery of novel small molecule inhibitors of fungal drug resistance to …

Strategies of human spatial cognition: cognitive and behavioural trade-offs
… with the surrounding space through functional trade-offs between the memory costs of planning routes and the cost involved in actually travelling that distance. These trade-offs result in visitation patterns of initial exploration of the space and subsequently determine navigation efficiency. …

Identifying Trade-offs Associated with Cross-platform Mobile Development Tools
… few studies have systematically assessed trade-offs associated with such recent CPDTs. This thesis sought to identify some of the practical trade-offs between data-driven apps built by modern CPDTs when compared amongst themselves and against their native counterparts. The thesis …

Breastfeeding after a caesarean section: Mother-infant health trade-offs
… were unfolding. I apply Trivers’s (1974) parent-offspring conflict model to conceptualise breastfeeding and predict realisation of infant feeding based on the interaction of maternal cost and infant benefit. The work adds the previously unstudied population of caesarean section-delivered …

Investigating trade-offs in Strength, Skill and Vigour in Pagurus Bernhardus
… these different traits potentially interact and trade-off with one <br/>another to determine overall RHP. Strength is relatively under-researched in the <br/>context of fighting, therefore we know very little about how it affects fighting <br/>behaviour or other RHP traits. Using the European …

Unravelling the ecological trade-offs in behavioural and physiological sexual traits
… are particularly important where there are trade-offs between investment in different life-history traits. Trade-offs between reproduction and survival have been widely documented, in addition to a body of evidence for trade-offs between mating related traits. How an individual adjusts their …

Evolutionary Trade-offs Between Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
… that there is no universal resistance–virulence trade-off. Instead, virulence outcomes depend on the biological pathways underlying resistance and their associated fitness costs. By showing that virulence aligns more closely with resistance mechanisms than with resistance magnitude, this thesis …

Evolutionary trade-offs and adaptive phenotypic plasticity under multidimensional selective pressure
… constraining adaptive responses by imposing trade-offs between beneficial traits. This is of particular consequence in natural environments, where selective pressure almost always acts on multiple traits simultaneously. Meanwhile, we must also consider environmental influence as a source of …

Spectral methods and computational trade-offs in high-dimensional statistical inference
… by exhibiting statistical and computational trade-offs in those problems. In the first chapter, we prove a useful variant of the well-known Davis{Kahan theorem, which is a spectral perturbation result that allows us to bound of the distance between population eigenspaces and their sample …
