What makes a visual scene more memorable? A rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) study with dynamic visual scenes

ABSTRACT The visual system has been characterized as having limited processing capacity. Research suggests that not all visual information is equal and that certain visual scenes are registered better than others. The present study investigated how people process biological stimuli under time constraint using a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) paradigm with dynamic movie scenes. The results of Experiments 1 and 2 indicated that recognition memory as well as identification performance got better with longer duration (400 ms vs. 200 ms). Most importantly, biological stimuli led to better memory and lower reaction times. Lastly, Experiment 3 was conducted to replicate previously observed dynamic advantage and to disentangle the role of motion from content. The results indicated that dynamic scenes were remembered better than static scenes for both the biological and non-biological stimuli. The ecological validity and retrieval benefit of dynamic scenes were discussed in relation to image memorability.

Régime et comportement alimentaires du faucon crécerellette Falco naumanni en crau en période prénuptiale

The French breeding population of Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) is restricted to the Crau. This steppe, rich in Orthoptera, provides this falcon with abundant preys during the breeding season. However, there are only few Orthoptera during the prenuptial period. In this study, we show that during this time of the year, Lesser Kestrels, which have already settled at their breeding site, hunt in cultivated fields located up to 6 km from the colony. The falcons use two agricultural plot types : set-asides and rice fields. In set-asides, they usually catch Coleoptera in flight, while in the newly-flooded rice fields, Mole Crickets (Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa) make up most of the prey items. The importance of Mole Crickets in the Lesser Kestrel's diet in the Crau, during the prenuptial period, is confirmed by a detailed analysis of pellets. We suggest that wetlands are important for Falco naumanni at this time of the year.
Stable Isotopes as a Tool to Characterize Carbon Cycling and Develop Hydrologic Budgets in Mantled Karst Settings

Isotopes of water (δH/δO), carbon dioxide (δC-CO2), and dissolved inorganic carbon (δ CDIC) were used to explore water quality, trace carbon cycling, and quantify recharge sources through mantled karst and into Blowing Spring Cave (BSC). Of the possible sources of contamination in the BSC recharge area, septic-tank effluent was hypothesized to degrade water quality at the spring outlet of BSC because of the dominance of septic tanks for waste treatment, unsuitable topography and soil for septic-tank absorption fields, increased nitrate and chloride concentrations concomitant with increased urbanization, and increased Escherichia coli with discharge. Carbon cycling between the soil and BSC was constrained by (1) mixing of gaseous soil CO2 and surface-atmosphere CO2 to produce cave-air CO2 concentrations and isotopic compositions, (2) kinetic degassing of cave drip-water, causing greater δC-DIC values than expected during equilibrium carbon isotopic fractionation between CO2 and DIC, and (3) exchange of soil-gas CO2 with groundwater prior to entering the cave, providing evidence that cave-stream water was characterized by open-system conditions with regards to soil CO2. This conceptual model of carbon cycling in BSC—where cave-air CO2 is partially sourced from soil CO2 and aqueous and gaseous carbon reservoirs within the cave are relatively decoupled— provides evidence that the majority of soil CO2 enters the cave as a gas. A three-component hydrograph separation was completed to quantify precipitation (QR), soil water (QS), and bedrock-matrix water (QB) contributions to BSC during storm events. Antecedent moisture conditions changed throughout the sampling period because as rainfall and base-flow discharge increased, δO values of cave water increased, chloride concentration in soil and cave water decreased, and DIC in cave water decreased. Combined QS and QB accounted for 36 to 119% of total discharge during storm events, depending on time after the onset of precipitation and antecedent moisture conditions. QR was greatest during a wet-season storm and rapid dilution of major cations and anions occurred with increased discharge. In contrast, a dry-season storm had the lowest QR and anion concentration peaked with maximum QS. Even during extremely dry periods, pre-event water stored in the unsaturated zone can contribute to groundwater flow during storms.
CalyPSO: An Enhanced Search Optimization based Framework to Model Delay-based PUFs

Delay-based Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are a popular choice for “keyless” cryptography in low-power devices. However, they have been subjected to modeling attacks using Machine Learning (ML) approaches, leading to improved PUF designs that resist ML-based attacks. On the contrary, evolutionary search (ES) based modeling approaches have garnered little attention compared to their ML counterparts due to their limited success. In this work, we revisit the problem of modeling delaybased PUFs using ES algorithms and identify drawbacks in present state-of-the-art genetic algorithms (GA) when applied to PUFs. This leads to the design of a new ES-based algorithm called CalyPSO, inspired by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques, which is fundamentally different from classic genetic algorithm design rationale. This allows CalyPSO to avoid the pitfalls of textbook GA and mount successful modeling attacks on a variety of delay-based PUFs, including k-XOR APUF variants. Empirically, we show attacks for the parameter choices of k as high as 20, for which there are no reported ML or ES-based attacks without exploiting additional information like reliability or power/timing side-channels. We further show that CalyPSO can invade PUF designs like interpose-PUFs (i-PUFs) and (previously unattacked) LP-PUFs, which attempt to enhance ML robustness by obfuscating the input challenge. Furthermore, we evolve CalyPSO to CalyPSO++ by observing that the PUF compositions do not alter the input challenge dimensions, allowing the attacker to investigate cross-architecture modeling. This allows us to model a k-XOR APUF using a (k − 1)-XOR APUF as well as perform cross-architectural modeling of BRPUF and i-PUF using k-XOR APUF variants. CalyPSO++ provides the first modeling attack on 4 LP-PUF by reducing it to a 4-XOR APUF. Finally, we demonstrate the potency of CalyPSO and CalyPSO++ by successfully modeling various PUF architectures on noisy simulations as well as real-world hardware implementations.
Acute Effects of Naturally Occurring Guayusa Tea and Nordic Lion’s Mane Extracts on Cognitive Performance

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of guayusa extract and Nordic Lion’s Mane (LM) on cognition. Using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design, we examined the effects of a single dose of 650 mg guayusa extract (AMT: AmaTea® Max) vs. 1 g Nordic-grown Lion’s Mane (LM) vs. placebo (PL). Participants attended three testing visits consisting of neuropsychological tests (Go/No-go, N-Back, and Serial 7 s tasks) assessing performance, subjective assessments of cognitive perception, and vital signs. Each assessment was measured at baseline (pre-ingestion) and 1 and 2 h post ingestion. AMT significantly (p ≤ 0.05) improved the number of attempts during Serial 7s, total score, number of correct responses, total number of responses, and reaction time during N-Back and improved Go stimulus reaction time, but it reduced the percentage of correct responses in the No-go stimulus response during Go/No-go. LM significantly (p ≤ 0.05) improved the number of attempts during Serial 7s and reaction time during N-Back and improved Go stimulus reaction time in Go/No-go. AMT improved mental clarity, focus, concentration, mood, and productivity at 1 and 2 h (p < 0.05); the ability to tolerate stress at 1 h; and had greater ratings than LM and PL for mental clarity, focus, concentration, and productivity. PL improved focus and concentration at 1 h from baseline (p ≤ 0.05). AMT and LM improved subjective ratings of “happiness compared to peers” and “getting the most out of everything” (p < 0.05); however, this occurred earlier in LM (i.e., 1 h post ingestion). AMT uniquely elevated blood pressure from baseline. AMT significantly improved cognitive performance and self-perceived cognitive indices of affect over a 2 h period and perceptions of happiness 2 h post ingestion. In comparison, LM helped improve working memory, complex attention, and reaction time 2 h post ingestion and perceptions of happiness over a 2 h period.
Benthic Foraminifers in Mesozoic and Cenozoic Sediments of the Southwestern Atlantic As an Indicator of Paleoenvironment, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 71

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages in Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments were studied at Sites 511, 512, 513, and 514 drilled during Leg 71 in the southwestern Atlantic on the Maurice Ewing Bank and in the Argentine Basin. Benthic foraminifers in almost all stratigraphic subdivisions of Sites 511 and 512 reflect the gradual subsidence of the Falkland Plateau from shelf depths in the Barremian-Albian, when a semiclosed basin with restricted circulation of water masses and anaerobic conditions existed, to lower bathyal depths in the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic, with an abrupt acceleration at the boundary of Lower and Upper Cretaceous. The composition, distribution, and preservation of Late Cretaceous assemblages of benthic foraminifers suggest considerable fluctuations of the foraminiferal lysocline and the CCD. This is evidenced by dissolution facies and foraminiferal assemblages in which agglutinated and resistant calcareous forms predominated during high stands of the CCD and by calcareous facies in which rich assemblages of calcareous species predominated during low stands. The highest position of the CCD on the Plateau (less than 1500-2000 m) was in the late Cenomanian, Turonian, and Coniacian. In the Santonian and Campanian the CCD was at depths below 1500-2000 meters. At the end of the Campanian the CCD shifted again to depths comparable with those of Cenomanian and Turonian time. In the latest Campanian and the Maestrichtian the CCD was low and nanno-foraminiferal oozes with a rich assemblage of benthic foraminifers accumulated. Foraminiferal assemblages at Sites 513 and 514 in the Argentine Basin also testify to oceanic subsidence from lower bathyal depths in the Oligocene to abyssal ones at present. This process was complicated by the influence of geographical migrations of the Polar Front caused by extensions of the ice sheet in the Antarctic after the opening of the Drake Passage during the Oligocene. In Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits of the Falkland Plateau and the Argentine Basin seven assemblages of benthic foraminifers were distinguished by age: early-middle Albian, middle-late Albian, Late Cretaceous (including four groups), middle Eocene, late Eocene-early Miocene, middle-late Miocene, and Pliocene-Quaternary. The Albian assemblages contain many species common to the foraminiferal fauna of the Austral Biogeographical Province. The Late Cretaceous assemblage contains, along with Austral species, species common to foraminifers of North America, Western Europe, the Russian platform, and the south of the U.S.S.R. Deep-sea cosmopolitan species prevail in Cenozoic assemblages.
Quasi 10-day wave modulation of equatorial ionization anomaly during the Southern Hemisphere stratospheric warming of 2002

Abstract. The present paper studies the perturbations in equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) region during the Southern Hemisphere (SH) sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) of 2002, using the location of EIA crests derived from Global Positioning System (GPS) station observations and the Total Electron Content (TEC) obtained by International GNSS Service (IGS) global ionospheric TEC map (GIMs) in Asian sector. A strong quasi 10-day periodic oscillation is clearly identified in EIA region, and it has in-phase relationship between northern and southern EIA crests. An eastward phase progression of quasi 10-day wave is also seen in polar stratospheric temperature during this period, suggesting the enhanced quasi-10-day planetary wave associated with SSW produced oscillation in EIA region through modulating the equatorial fountain effect. Our results reveal some newer features of ionospheric variation that have not been reported during Northern Hemisphere (SH) SSWs.
Impact of COVID-19 on clinical trials and clinical research: A systematic review

Background: The World Health Organization has reported more than 31,186,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), including 962,343 deaths, worldwide as on September 21, 2020. The current COVID-19 pandemic is affecting clinical research activities in most parts of the world. The focus on developing a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 and the treatment of COVID-19 is, in fact, disrupting many upcoming and/or ongoing clinical trials on other diseases around the globe. On March 18, 2020, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an updated guideline for the conduct of clinical trials during the current health emergency situation. The potential challenges, such as social distancing and quarantines, result in study participants’ inaccessibility and trial personnel for in-person scheduled study visits and/or follow-up. Due to the sudden onset and wide-spread impact of COVID-19, its influence on the management of clinical trials and research necessitates urgent attention. Therefore, our systematic review of the literature aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the conduction of clinical trials and research. The search for the relevant articles for review included the keywords “COVID-19” AND “clinical trial” in PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Google scholar and Google electronic databases. Key findings include: delaying subject enrollment and operational gaps in most ongoing clinical trials, which in turn has a negative impact on trial programmes and data integrity. Globally, most sites conducting clinical trials other than COVID-19 are experiencing a delay in timelines and a complete halt of operations in lieu of this pandemic, thus affecting clinical research outcomes.

Marine Collagen Matrix Carrier with Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Management of Gingival Recession Defects

Background The gold standard in the management of gingival recession (GR) defects has been connective tissue graft (CTG) with coronally advanced flap (CAF). But patient morbidity associated with graft harvesting is a major drawback and has led to the development of various substitute biomaterials which have been tried and tested. Aim Our study is aimed at checking the efficacy of marine collagen matrix (MCM) impregnated with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) with modified CAF in the treatment of Miller's class I and II recession defects. Case Description. Six patients with ten GR defects in maxilla were treated with CAF + MCM + I-PRF. Clinical parameters like recession height (RH), recession width (RW), root coverage (RC%), width of attached gingiva (WAG), keratinized tissue height (KTH), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival biotype (GB), plaque index (PI), and visual analogue score (VAS-E) esthetic scores were evaluated up to six months. There was significant root coverage observed at three- and six-month follow-ups. Conclusion The proposed treatment was effective in the management of GR defects and improvement in soft tissue biotype without the morbidity associated with soft tissue harvest.
