A cost of resistance is fundamental for the theories of maintenance of genetic polymorphism (Boots and Bowers 1999; Best et al. 2008), but the expression of costs may be more labile than assumed by the models.
This investigation offers significantly new and original knowledge in theory and practice of maintenance workforce optimisation.
This research illustrates the utility of integrating theories of relationship maintenance with evolutionary psychological theories of mating.
Considering the random wavelet theories of AF maintenance, a parameter correlating in some way with the amount of fibrosis in the LA, such as LA dilatation, would seem an attractive candidate for predicting procedural success.
Perfectionism co-occurs with eating disorders (Bulik et al., 2003; Halmi et al., 2000), the construct of perfectionism is considered to be characteristic of eating disorders, in particular anorexia nervosa (Garner, Olmsted, & Polivy, 1983; Vitousek & Manke, 1994) and it has an important role in recent theories of the maintenance of eating disorders (Fairburn, Cooper, & Shafran, 2003).
The reason for this was primarily ethical and could be justified on the basis that the hypotheses from theories of the maintenance of anorexia nervosa specifically and eating disorders more generally (Fairburn et al., 1999, 2003) apply to non-clinical groups.
According to the Theory of Self-Concept Maintenance, producing lies co-exist with the need to regard themselves as honest individuals [6].
In Kosslyn's computational theory of imagery, such maintenance is achieved by the re-activation of visual memory representations in an Object Properties-Processing subsystem (Kosslyn, 1980; Kosslyn et al., 2006).
For detailed information on the general area of maintenance theory, readers may read the book by (Nakagawa 2006).
According to evolutionary theory, the maintenance of a single isolate of Pseudonocardia would be beneficial to the ants, since the culture of different strains could generate competition and conflict.
