128 Hawkes, KristenBrief communication: adrenal androgens and aging: female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) compared with womenOvarian cycling continues to similar ages in women and chimpanzees yet our nearest living cousins become decrepit during their fertile years and rarely outlive them.

133 Hawkes, KristenKin selection and cultureThis paper argues that while the discriminations organizing human action are cultural, and kinship in anthropology is not equivalent to genetic relatedness, the theory of kin selection developed in evolutionary biology can tell us a great deal about human social organization.

139 Hawkes, KristenHuman actuarial aging increases faster when background death rates are lower: a consequence of differential heterogeneity?Many analyses of human populations have found that age-specific mortality rates increase faster across most of adulthood when overall mortality levels decline. This contradicts the relationship often expected from Williams' classic hypothesis about the effects of natural selection on the evolution o...Frailty; Gompertz; Mortality rate doubling times; Ricklefs' omega; Strehler-Mildvan correlations; Weibull2011-01-01
140 Eddings, Eric G.; Sarofim, Adel F.Mechanism reduction and generation using analysis of major fuel consumption pathways for n-heptane in premixed and diffusion flamesReaction pathway analyses were conducted for three mechanisms (designated as the Pitsch, Utah, and Lawrence Livermore National Lab) for a normal heptane premixed flame (? = 1.9) and a normal heptane opposed diffusion flame, in order to identify the relative importance of the major fuel consumption p...Pitsch mechanism; Utah mechanism; Lawrence Livermore National Lab mechanism; Mechanism reduction; Heptane premixed flame2007
141 Gerig, GuidoProbabilistic white matter fiber tracking using, particle filtering and von mises-fisher samplingStandard particle filtering technique have previously been applied to the problem of fiber tracking by Brun et al. (2002) and Bjornemo et al. (2002). However, these previous attempts have not utilised the full power of the technique, and as a result the fiber paths were tracked in a goal directed wa...Diffusion tensor MRI; Tractography; Probabilistic fiber tracking; Particle filtering; von Mises-Fisher sampling2009-01-01
