Abstract:
... In the US, Meningococcal B (MenB) vaccines were first licensed in 2014. In 2015, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that parents of teens talk to their provider about receiving MenB vaccine, rather than issuing a routine recommendation. We assessed parental awareness of MenB vaccines and willingness to vaccinate their teens with MenB vaccines compared to MenACWY vaccines, ...

Abstract:
... The process of twin growth is difficult to be captured instantaneously. Synchrotron polychromatic X-ray microdiffraction (micro-XRD) is applied to in situ study twin growth in extruded Mg-3Al-1Zn polycrystal subjected to uniaxial tension. The micro-XRD data is used to map an area of 396 × 200 μm2 under the loading levels from 12 MPa to 73 MPa. The orientations of seven parents and ten resultant tw ...

Abstract:
... Despite growing recognition of the critical role of parents in children’s early development, parenting education programs and interventions typically have had limited impacts on children’s outcomes. To design programs and policies that are more responsive to families’ needs and constraints, policymakers need a better understanding of the lived experiences of families. In this article, we argue tha ...

Abstract:
... For animals in which parents provide food to their offspring, young often communicate their need to parents through elaborate begging behavior. Using a multispecies approach involving 3 burying beetle species, we show that offspring that are highly dependent on parental provisioning invest the most time in begging for food, whereas offspring that are nutritionally independent invest the least time ...

The basic genetic algorithm (GA) has been augmented in three aspects. First, the selection operation is excluded from GA in order to avoid excessive losses of population diversity. Second, two kinds of adaptive crossover operations ...

Abstract:
... In this paper, we evaluate using genotype‐by‐sequencing (GBS) data to perform parentage assignment in lieu of traditional array data. The use of GBS data raises two issues: First, for low‐coverage (e.g., <2×) GBS data, it may not be possible to call the genotype at many loci, a critical first step for detecting opposing homozygous markers. Second, the amount of sequencing coverage may vary across ...

Abstract:
... Complex multicellular organisms, such as mammals, express two complete sets of chromosomes per nucleus, combining the genetic material of both parents. However, epigenetic studies have demonstrated violations to this rule that are necessary for mammalian physiology; the most notable parental allele expression phenomenon is genomic imprinting. With the identification of endogenous imprinted genes, ...

Abstract:
... Previous research suggests that the relationship between the multiple aspects of children's impulsivity, eating behaviour and adiposity may depend on measures used. Fifty 7-11-year-olds (28 female, 22 male) completed four impulsivity tasks (Go/No-Go, Door Opening, Circle Drawing, Delay Discounting), consumed a snack, reported on their eating, and were weighed and measured. Parents completed measur ...

Abstract:
... One of the most essential questions of biology is to understand how different species have evolved. Hybrid incompatibility, a phenomenon in which hybrids show reduced fitness in comparison with their parents, can result in reproductive isolation and speciation. Therefore, studying hybrid incompatibility provides an entry point in understanding speciation. Hybrid incompatibilities are known through ...

In this study, parents kept structured diary records during a 15-day period in which they offered their 2-year-old child daily tastes of one fruit and one vegetable. We explored how children’s acceptance of ...

In a non-cooperative Nash game in which children compete for their parents’ financial transfers, we demonstrate that if the children’s attention is sufficiently perceived by elderly parents as a merit good, then a payroll tax hike might increase children’s attention devoted to elderly parents, thereby reducing the labor supply of grown-up children and possibly reducing elderly pension benefits. ...

Avian parents with biparental incubation need to know how to negotiate, when and who will incubate, and how to harmonize partner exchange at the nest. Although considerable effort has been dedicated to studies of incubation rhythms, few studies have investigated how behavioural signals serve to ti ...
