The Effect of Child Characteristics and Environmental Demands on Parenting Across Intact and Divorced Families: An Exploratory View
… with internalizing, externalizing, and adaptive characteristics. Parenting features were then evaluated across both intact and divorced family settings to explore for any influence of the child and the environmental demands on parenting. Only one significant interaction was revealed …

Effects of Corporal Punishment on Survival and Coping Beliefs.
… punishment has been correlated with many maladaptive outcomes and depressive symptoms in adulthood. The Reasons for Living Inventory - Survival and Coping Beliefs subscale identifies those with coping strategies that enable them to deal effectively with negative feelings. The present study …

Whole genome doubling confers unique genetic vulnerabilities on tumor cells
… Cells that undergo WGD must acquire adaptive characteristics to accommodate their tetraploid state, and these adaptations may confer unique vulnerabilities that can be exploited therapeutically. We analyzed the genomes of ~9,700 primary human cancer samples to uncover genetic …

Adaptive power system control
… scheme applied to a power system. The scheme has adaptive characteristics which allow the controller to keep track of the changing power system operating point and to control nonlinear functions of state variables. Feedback to the controller is obtained from phasor measurements at chosen power …

Attitudes Toward Violence and Reasons for Living in Adolescents with High, Moderate, and Low Self-Esteem.
… in Adolescents (BRFL-A) was utilized to assess adaptive characteristics. The independent variables were gender and self-esteem. The dependent variables were total reasons for living score and attitudes toward violence score.</p> <p>Participants included 138 males and 95 females, ages 11 to 15 …

An Artificial Honeybee Colony Algorithm to Quantify Adaptability via Resilience for Space System Architectures
… biological-inspired optimization algorithm, the adaptive artificial honeybee colony (AHC), to search for and generate resilient (or optimal) solutions to highly interconnected or nonlinear problems. The AHC is an agent-based algorithm that integrates pollination models, particle swarm dynamics, …

Patterns of energy flow in populations of the dominant insect consumers on Marion Island
… and each species has evolved a distinct suite of adaptive characteristics which include slow growth, low metabolic rates, long life cycles, and deferred maturity. The lack of interspecific competition, and the general paucity of biotic restraints inherent in the sub-Antarctic Island situation, may …

Towards an evolutionary perspective of bipolar disorders: Is there a genetic link between bipolar disorders and non-pathological (adaptive) hyperactivity?
The new-developed Questionnaire for Adaptive Hyperactivity and Goal Achievement (AHGA), represents an innovative approach to hyperthymic features by embracing a broader concept of spectrum, which conceptualizes as a continuum the potential transition between pathological and adaptive aspects. The …

A path to biodiscovery: isolating Antarctic ascidian-associated bacteria and screening genomes for secondary metabolite-encoded biosynthetic gene clusters and signatures of cold adaptation
… adareanum microbiome, and ascertaining the cold-adaptive characteristics of the genome and encoded proteome evolution of host-associated high latitude marine microorganisms. Here, we implemented a minimal media cultivation and dereplication strategy to isolate bacteria, rapidly screen for …

COMMUNITY ANALYSIS OF A UNIQUE FULL-SCALE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AS REVEALED BY 454-PYROSEQUENCING
… populations are sensitive to wastewater characteristics, plant design and operational parameters. Because the effectiveness of activated sludge relies on microbial activity, a better understanding of the microbial communities and how they respond to constraints may be useful for improving …
