Sexual selection predicts the persistence of populations within altered environments by Parrett, Jonathan M., Mann, Darren J., Chung, Arthur Y. C., Slade, Eleanor M., Knell, Robert J.

“…The effect of sexual selection on species persistence remains unclear. The cost of bearing ornaments or armaments might increase extinction risk, but sexual selection can also enhance the spread of beneficial alleles and increase the removal of deleterious alleles, potentially reducing extinction risk. …”

36 stratagems & applications by Soe Thiha @ Nyan Lin Htun

“…There are some 6 different fields of strategies for different state of the situation, starting when one is superior, gaining ground to losing, each bearing 6 individual strategies each. It is now widely accepted that some war strategies could be applied in business world, behavioral science and thus taken another leap trying to better apply in other areas such as geopolitical affairs, behavioral change, public policy etc. …”

Impact of jet fuel hedging on firm value : a study on global airlines. by Quah, Hui Li., Tan, Jazreel Yan Zhen., Teo, Lay Hui.

“…We also find three factors, namely managerial shares and options holdings, financial distress costs and the presence of alternative hedging mechanism that have significant bearing on airlines’ hedging decisions. Upon understanding how hedging value adds across different regions and periods of fuel price volatility, investors can pay more attention to these three factors in order to accurately predict and assess airlines’ hedging decisions. …”

Direct observation of resonant energy transfer in lanthanide complexes from multidisciplinary perspectives by Chen, Xuebo

“…However, in special case incorrect arguments and formulae were often employed by ignoring energy resonance conditions and selection rules of state-to-state transition, especially for the sensitive intramolecular EnT of lanthanide complexes bearing a uniform donor-acceptor distance. Herein, we proposed an innovative model of energy degeneracy crossing controlled EnT, which can be experimentally confirmed by a bi-exponential decay using the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. …”
