Sentence examples for models of cumulative from inspiring English sources

I then present macroscopic and individual-based models of cumulative cultural evolution that explore the consequences of this assumption of variable cultural acquisition costs, showing that making acquisition costs vary with cultural complexity causes the latter to reach an upper limit above which no further innovation can occur.

Quadratic and linear quadratic models of cumulative silica exposure did not result in an improvement in goodness of fit.

Exposure to adversities involving relational threats impacts on allostatic load in adulthood and operates according to life course models of cumulative risk and a sensitive period around the transition into adulthood.

Building on Hans Selye's model of nonspecific susceptibility and allostatic load models of cumulative wear and tear, attention is increasingly being directed toward identifying biological mediators linking chronic stress to immune and endocrine function (Miller et al. 2002; Segerstrom and Miller 2004).

Future translational research concerned with developing early markers of autism can also benefit from the current findings through shifting the focus towards models of cumulative risk reflected in variable trajectories, a subset of which result in a diagnosis in toddlerhood or beyond [24].

Kataoka (2013) has used a new statistical model of cumulative distribution functions based on the 89 year list of magnetic storms recorded at the Kakioka Magnetic Observatory to calculate the probability of extreme magnetic storms in solar cycle 24.

Model 1 extended an existing macroscopic model of cumulative cultural evolution, finding as expected that making acquisition costs dependent on mean population-wide cultural complexity created upper limits on the amount of cultural complexity that can be attained.

The initiating steps in this proposed model of cumulative subretinal microglia accretion have not been defined but may potentially be related to complement activation [45], drusen accumulation [46], photoreceptor injury [47], or oxidative stress in the outer retina [48].

In order to more accurately evaluate viral fitness, we offer a model of cumulative vectorial capacity and effective vector competence to show that 1) single day comparisons are inadequate and 2) even with the collection of day-by-day vector competence values, a cumulative evaluation is needed.

An individual-based model of cumulative culture by Strimling et al. [32] represents a valuable first attempt to understand the microevolutionary basis of this phenomenon, but does not feature the key assumption of functionally dependent cultural traits that are costly to acquire, nor does it produce an initial exponential increase in knowledge.

The model of allostatic load highlights accumulation of insults as a major cause of allostatic load, which is consistent with a life course model of "cumulative risk".
