Conclusions Together, we suggest that the fitness trade-off is an evolutionary trait that determines individual growth phenotype within a species. By using this trait, we can possibly overcome anticancer drug resistance in cancer cells.Background One of the unsolved central questions in biology is id...

Utilising this model, it was then proposed that a trade-off of popularity and similarity was an alternative explanation of network evolution20. Although this combination of ‘popularity’ and ‘similarity’ is an attractive proposition, and one that will be echoed in the theory of this paper, ...
unfit parent. The more random the selection process, the more random the population will be in each generation. Conversely, the more the decision is weighted toward the most fit parents, the faster the convergence to local optima will occur. This trade-off is referred to as selection pressure...
We live in a rich western democracy; we know that slavery is abhorrent and a crime against humanity; we also know that we as a country profited from the slave trade. Shouldn’t we pay compensation / reparations then? Asdecent, honest people, isn’t that the right thing to do?

According to the time-limitation hypothesis, selfing in annuals has evolved as a consequence of strong r-selection in ephemeral habitats, resulting either as an indirect consequence (trade-off) of selection for shorter time to reproductive maturity (Figure 1a), or as a direct consequence of ...
This article examines popular fitness sports and home fitness software in China. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s theory of discipline, Norbert Elias’ study on civilization, and Jean Baudrillard’s study on the consumer society, the authors reveal the form
This writing process, from the body to text, from the concrete to the abstract, from memory extension to reflective extraction, gradually expands the fitness practice beyond the nar- row definition of "several sets of practical movements," extends it towards the cultiva- tion of overall living ...
Fitness costs (hereafter costs) are defined as trade-offs in which alleles conferring resistance to a Bt toxin have deleterious effects on fitness components in the absence of Bt toxins [24,28]. Incomplete resistance is defined as resistance in which resistant insects have lower fitness on a Bt...
