TL;DR: Sleep durations of ≤5 hours per night were associated with a significantly increased risk of hypertension in subjects between the ages of 32 and 59 years, and controlling for the potential confounding variables only partially attenuated this relationship.
Abstract: Depriving healthy subjects of sleep has been shown to acutely increase blood pressure and sympathetic nervous system activity. Prolonged short sleep durations could lead to hypertension through ext...

TL;DR: Compared with other sequenced land plants, M. polymorpha exhibits low genetic redundancy in most regulatory pathways, with this portion of its genome resembling that predicted for the ancestral land plant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of protected and community managed forests for the long term maintenance of forest cover in the tropics was assessed through a meta-analysis of published case-studies, which compared land use/cover change data for these two broad types of forest management and assess their performance in maintaining forest cover.

TL;DR: It is suggested that increases in absolute brain size provided the biological foundation for evolutionary increases in self-control, and implicate species differences in feeding ecology as a potential selective pressure favoring these skills.
Abstract: Cognition presents evolutionary research with one of its greatest challenges. Cognitive evolution has been explained at the proximate level by shifts in absolute and relative brain volume and at the ultimate level by differences in social and dietary complexity. However, no study has integrated the experimental and phylogenetic approach at the scale required to rigorously test these explanations. Instead, previous research has largely relied on various measures of brain size as proxies for cognitive abilities. We experimentally evaluated these major evolutionary explanations by quantitatively comparing the cognitive performance of 567 individuals representing 36 species on two problem-solving tasks measuring self-control. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that absolute brain volume best predicted performance across species and accounted for considerably more variance than brain volume controlling for body mass. This result corroborates recent advances in evolutionary neurobiology and illustrates the cognitive consequences of cortical reorganization through increases in brain volume. Within primates, dietary breadth but not social group size was a strong predictor of species differences in self-control. Our results implicate robust evolutionary relationships between dietary breadth, absolute brain volume, and self-control. These findings provide a significant first step toward quantifying the primate cognitive phenome and explaining the process of cognitive evolution.

TL;DR: A multiobjective optimization approach based on a micro genetic algorithm (micro-GA) which is a genetic algorithm with a very small population and a reinitialization process that can produce an important portion of the Pareto front at a very low computational cost is proposed.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a multiobjective optimization approach based on a micro genetic algorithm (micro-GA) which is a genetic algorithm with a very small population (four individuals were used in our experiment) and a reinitialization process. We use three forms of elitism and a memory to generate the initial population of the micro-GA. Our approach is tested with several standard functions found in the specialized literature. The results obtained are very encouraging, since they show that this simple approach can produce an important portion of the Pareto front at a very low computational cost.
