Variation in developmental conditions is known to affect fitness in later life, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain elusive. We previously found in jackdaws Corvus monedula that larger eggs resulted in larger nestlings up to fledging. Through a cross‐foster experiment of complete clutches we tested whether this association can be attributed to egg size per se, or to more proficient...
This chapter reviews the building of two megahydraulic engineering projects in Holland: the Zuiderzee Project and the Delta Project. The initial objectives of these megastructures were safety and reducing the salt gradient and land reclamation in order to guarantee food supply. Only the Delta Project focused on the first objective. Although the initial objectives were met, the perception of the initial...
A collection of slides from author's conference presentation is given. Simulation analysis using first principles is a useful method to predict market share and price dynamics when historical trend data are not available; useful for evaluating operator strategies in a competitive setting and for specific market scenarios. Operator strategies must be evaluated in accordance with market segment preferences;...
Risk factors for local recurrence (LR) in a univariate analysis had a significant correlation with survival. Local and distant failure could not be regarded as independent events. We undertook a multivariate survival analysis to study the relation between LR and survival. In a retrospective study of 1026 patients treated with tumorectomy, axillary dissection and radiotherapy, factors associated...
