Abstract:

Some evidence exists for the phenotypic association of problem behaviour in early childhood with temperament in infancy, but little is known about the genetic and environmental mechanisms mediating this association. At the ages of 14, 20, 24, and 36 months, mothers of twins completed the Colorado Childhood Temperament Inventory (CCTI; Buss & Plomin, 1984; Rowe & Plomin, 1977). At age 4, problem behaviour was assessed using maternal reports on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/4-18; Achenbach, 1991). The temperamental trait of Emotionality at all four prior age points correlated signif

Abstract:

AbstractPolymorphisms in the oxytocin receptor gene are commonly associated with prosocial behaviors in the extant literature, yet their role in antisocial behaviors has rarely been explored, particularly during the transition from adolescence to early adulthood. We examined a prospective cohort (N = 404), collecting youth, mother, and clinician reports of conduct-disordered and antisocial behavior at ages 15 and 20. The oxytocin receptor gene rs53576 polymorphism was hypothesized to interact with social stress to predict antisocial outcomes. Structural equation modeling results revealed a sig

Abstract:

Childhood antecedents of schizophrenia were explored for 148 boys seen in child guidance clinics prior to the onset of adolescent or adult disorders. Those most disturbed in childhood were more likely to be preschizophrenic, and their disturbed behavior was relatively specific to that grouping. Childhood problems with motor coordination and attention were associated with impulsive, inappropriate behavior which led to peer rejection followed by increasing seclusiveness. Clinical groupings of the most disturbed boys produced composite descriptions for four groups.

Abstract:

A series of trials evaluated the behavior and performance of pigs grouped into three main categories at weaning: (1) unmixed litters, (2) mixed into uniform body weight groups (light, medium and heavy) and (3) mixed into heterogeneous weight groups. The effects of grouping on performance criteria were conflicting among trials and with time after weaning. In trial 1, heterogeneous groups had lower (P = 0.09) average daily gain to 5 d after weaning than intact litters. The reverse was observed in trial 2. In trial 3, uniform weight groups grew more rapidly (P < 0.01) than heterogenous groups.

Abstract:

Collective behavior such as bird flocking, land animal herding, and fish schooling is well known in nature. Many observations have shown that there are no leaders to control the behavior of a group. Several models have been proposed for describing the grouping behavior, which we regard as a distinctive example of aggregate motions. In these models, a fixed rule is provided for each of the individuals a priori for their interactions in a reductive and rigid manner. In contrast, we propose a new framework for the self-organized grouping of agents by reinforcement learning. It is important to int

Abstract One aim of animal behaviour research is to explain why animals live in groups.

We found no differences in group size of all age–sex classes between the forest and alpine meadow habitats, and both populations were mainly solitary. The current findings suggest that group size in the serow is not affected by ecological conditions, including habita

The circular grouping is a novel algorithm to group learners based on their learning and collaborative traces. So, the aim is to form heterogeneous groups based on their profiles.

Abstract:

The genus Berkheya is paraphyletic with the related genera Cullumia, Cuspidia, Didelta and Heterorhachis embedded within a broader clade termed the ‘Berkheya clade’. As a contribution towards reassessment of species relationships and delimitation of species groupings within the clade, the utility of external achene morphology for supporting natural species groups within the clade was evaluated. Achenes from 67 species and 10 infraspecific taxa were examined, including representatives of each genus currently recognised in the Berkheya clade. Achene pubescence and pappus characteristics (e.g., s

Abstract:

Information overload is one of the major challenges for online shoppers. One possible solution to this aforementioned problem is to take advantage of the interactive decision aids (IDAs). Prior studies on IDAs have mainly focused on information overload problems caused by the products (e.g., recommendation agents) and hence, have overlooked the information overload problems related to online reviews. However, online reviews are becoming more popular and turning into a major information source in consumer purchase decisions. To bridge this gap, this study investigates the effect of message grou

Abstract:

Even though grouping behaviour has been actively studied for over a century, the relative importance of the numerous proposed fitness benefits of grouping remain unclear. We use a digital model of evolving prey under simulated predation to directly explore the evolution of gregarious foraging behaviour according to one such benefit, the ‘many eyes’ hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, collective vigilance allows prey in large groups to detect predators more efficiently by making alarm signals or behavioural cues to each other, thereby allowing individuals within the group to spend more ti

Abstract:

Grouping lactating sows and piglets leads to problems of cross-suckling and increased numbers of piglets at the udder during suckling. These alter suckling behaviour and affect the performance of the piglets. The aim of the study was to investigate how suckling behaviour was influenced by grouping piglets and changing sow location under controlled conditions.

This article describes how the time taken to execute a query and return the results, increase exponentially as the data size increases, leading to more waiting times of the user. Hadoop with its distributed processing capability is considered as an efficient solution for processing such large data. Hadoop's Default Data Placement Strategy (HDDPS) allocates the data blocks randomly across the cluster of nodes without considering any of the execution parameters. This result in non-availability of the blocks required for execution in local machine so that the data has to be transferred across the

Abstract:

In everyday life, we group and subdivide time to understand the sensory environment surrounding us. Organizing time in units, such as diurnal rhythms, phrases, and beat patterns, is fundamental to behavior, speech, and music. When listening to music, our perceptual system extracts and nests rhythmic regularities to create a hierarchical metrical structure that enables us to predict the timing of the next events. Foot tapping and head bobbing to musical rhythms are observable evidence of this process. In the special case of polyrhythms, at least two metrical structures compete to become the ref

Abstract:

Aerial surveys of belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) and narwhals (Monodon monoceros) were conducted in Lancaster Sound and northern Admiralty Inlet, N.W.T., during spring migration in 1987. Interspecific differences in grouping patterns and associated behaviour were observed. Group size and behaviour varied with ice type and state of breakup but patterns of variation differed between species. Behaviour of narwhals but not of belugas varied significantly with group size. Variation in group size and activity suggests that aggregation patterns are not related to predator avoidance strategies. Addit
