Does nest size constrain clutch size? A tropical-temperate test
The smaller clutch size of tropical as opposed to north temperate birds has intrigued researchers for a long time. An untested hypothesis posits that higher nest predation in the tropics favors smaller nests thereby constraining clutch-size. We tested this hypothesis by conducting an experiment to …

Raindrop size distribution
… and study the impact of changes in raindrop size distributions (DSD) on the fixed terrestrial microwave links as a result of an increase in the incidence of heavy rain in the United Kingdom over this decade. Also to introduce an increasing trend in rain rates associated with outage. The daily …

Size-independent vs. size-dependent policies in scheduling heavy-tailed distributions
… a two-machine distributed server, where the job size distribution is heavy-tailed. We focus on two distributions, for which we prove that the performance of the optimal size-independent policy is asymptotically worse than that of a simple size-dependent policy. First, we consider a simple …

Comparative Analysis of Radiologically Measured Size and True Size of Renal Tumors
… on discrepancy between radiologically measured size and true size of renal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data from 238 patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy for a renal tumor at our institution were reviewed. Radiologic tumor size defined as the largest diameter on a CT scan …

Rational Effect Size Measurement
… tested interventions are, using so-called effect size measures. Such effect sizes are widely used to inform evidence-based decision-making. But do the effect sizes of tested interventions convey the information relevant for rationally choosing the best intervention? The arguments I present in this …

Does Selectorate Size Matter?: How the selectorate size of authoritarian regimes impacts trade levels
… ability to maintain power. I examine whether the size of the group that can determine whether the leader maintains power (their selectorate) is a determining factor in authoritarian states increasing their trade. Upon running a Generalized Least Squares regression, I conclude that when controlling …

Attentional Orientation and Vocabulary Size
Quickly looking to a plausible referent of a word is both an indicator of effective lexical processing and an opportunity to learn new words. Beginning in infancy, faster attentional orientation during recognition and disambiguation is associated with superior vocabulary ability (Bion et al., 2013; …

Queen size dimorphism in ants
… an important exception. The case of ant queen size dimorphisms has not been studied in sufficient detail, and thus this thesis aimed at elucidating causes and consequences of the different size of small (microgynous) and large (macrogynous)ant queens using the North American ant species …
