Kind words do not become tired words: Undervaluing the positive impact of frequent compliments

ABSTRACT Compliments can satisfy others’ need to belong, but expressers may underestimate their positive impact on recipients, creating a barrier to giving them more often. We assess how people expect recipients will react to multiple compliments over time, compared to recipients’ actual experiences. Participants expected that recipients would adopt to multiple compliments, with each feeling less positive and sincere (Experiment 1). An experiment found no evidence of adaptation in recipients’ actual experience, while expressers underestimated recipients’ positive reactions (Experiment 2). Participants expected less adaptation among recipients when they saw the actual compliments received, suggesting that mistaken adaptation beliefs stem from overestimating similarity between multiple compliments (Experiment 3). Underestimating compliments’ consistently positive impact may restrain people from expressing them more routinely.
Becoming an Expert, Ambassador or Doing Project Work: Three Paths to Excellence for Students at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences

Apart from the regular curricula in higher education, institutions increasingly offer additional initiatives or honours programmes for students to excel. Artevelde UAS wants to provide similar additional learning opportunities, in which the notion of excellence is based on reflection, self-direction and ‘giving back’ to stakeholders. This paper will provide an elaboration of these opportunities, based on three research questions: (1) What project or initiative can be considered as a valid and well-defined form of excelling, (2) How do we formally structure and organize this initiative or project, and (3) How can we evaluate and validate students’ experiences of excelling? Students of (International) Business Management at Artevelde UAS can excel in three different ways: by professionalizing and becoming an expert in a certain topic or area, by becoming an ambassador for one particular 21st century skill that has been put forward and highlighted by Artevelde UAS in its mission (global citizenship, entrepreneurship or sustainability), or by cooperating with professional business partners in order to develop and implement a real-life project.
Protein self‐marking by emerald ash borer: an evaluation of efficacy and persistence

Understanding the dispersal ability of invasive insects provides useful insights for developing effective management strategies. Historically, methods for marking insects for dispersal studies have been expensive, time‐consuming, labor‐intensive, and oftentimes ineffective, especially for woodboring beetles. Also, capturing or rearing insects requires human handling, which can alter behavior. Protein immunomarking is a well‐established technique for studying the dispersal of insects; however, it has not been applied to woodborers. This study evaluates the potential for using protein immunomarkers applied directly to woodborer‐infested trees to mark emerging beetles. Specifically, in the first experiment, we sprayed varying concentrations of ovalbumin (egg white) solution directly onto logs infested with emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae, Agrilini). In turn, an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the presence of protein on emerged beetles. To test the persistence of the mark, we applied varying concentrations of albumin to freeze‐killed beetles, mounted them on pins, and placed them over various time intervals in an exposed location outdoors. Adult EAB self‐marked as they emerged from protein‐treated trees, with higher protein concentrations persisting for longer on the cuticle. This technique offers a convenient, inexpensive, and durable means of marking woodborers and circumvents the need for human handling, allowing for more natural behavior and more realistic estimates of dispersal. Protein self‐marking may find application in studies of woodborer dispersal within natural forest environments.
Essential fat requirements of preterm infants 1–3

The interest in factors that modify early infant development has led investigators to focus on n 2 3 and n 2 6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) in the past 2 decades. The presence of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) in breast milk, compared with their absence from infant formulas available in the United States, has prompted clinical trials designed to examine whether LCPUFA enrichment of infant formula has beneficial effects on matura-tional events of the visual system. These trials have shown significant functional advantages of LCPUFA supplementation for preterm infants, whereas benefits for full-term infants remain controversial. The growth and safety of preterm infants was not compromised by LCPUFA enrichment, although these issues remain to be resolved in clinical trials with full-term infants.

Working Paper Series Working Paper No . 2018-04 The In uence of Bribery and Relative Reciprocity on a Physician ' s Prescription Decision-An Experiment

Focusing on a physician’s relationships to a briber and a patient, this experiment analyzes the influence of a bribe on a physician’s treatment decision. We conduct a partner treatment, in which briber and physician play together for the whole experiment and a stranger treatment, where briber and physician are re-matched every period. With the help of the two treatments, we vary the relative reciprocity between the physician and the two other actors, briber and patient. Additionally we use a follow up questionnaire to measure the behavioral motivation of the participants. We find that reciprocity leads to bribery relationships: In the partner treatment physicians act corruptly more often. Just the variation of the relative reciprocity between the treatments shows differences in the behavior of the subjects. Differences in the participants’ preferences deliver no explanation for their behavior in our experiment.
Reactive variable neighborhood search

Recent works have shown that the variable neighborhood search (VNS) algorithm can be improved by using a reactive component. A component is reactive if its behavior changes dynamically depending on the information obtained from the current run, or depending on the instance to solve. This paper gives a review of these recent works, and proposes a new scheme to select reactively the move used in the shaking step of VNS. This new mechanism is particularly relevant to solve problems involving various types of decisions. For instance, an application of the resulting Reactive-VNS to a short-term production-planning problem is given. Experimental results show that Reactive-VNS outperforms the classical VNS approach on the latter problem.
2019-01409-Post-Doctoral Research Visit F / M ( BN 19 ) Fast tensor arithmetic for large scale computing and applications

An important force which has continued to drive HPC has been to focus on frontier milestones which consist in technical goals that symbolize the next stage of progress in the field. After the step of the teraflop machine in the 1990s, the HPC community envision the use of generalist petaflop supercomputers and soon coming exaflop machines in the 2020s. For application codes to sustain petaflop and more using a few millions of cores or more will be needed, regardless of processor technology. Currently, a few HPC simulation codes easily scale to this regime and major code development efforts are critical to achieve the potential of these new systems. Scaling to at this rate will involve improving physical models, mathematical modelling, super scalable algorithms that will require paying particular attention to acquisition, management and vizualization of huge amounts of scientific data.
Meta-analysis of diagnostic studies based upon SROC-curves: a mixed model approach using the Lehmann family

Meta-analysis of diagnostic studies experiences the common problem that different studies might not be comparable since they have been using a different cut-off value for the continuous or ordered categorical diagnostic test value defining different regions for which the diagnostic test is defined to be positive. Hence specificities and sensitivities arising from different studies might vary just because the underlying cut-off value had been different. To cope with the cut-off value problem, interest is usually directed towards the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve which consists of pairs of sensitivities and false positive rate (1–specificity). In the context of meta-analysis, one pair represents one study and the associated diagram is called SROC curve where the S stands for ‘summary’. The paper will consider—as a novel approach—modelling SROC curves with the Lehmann family that assumes log-sensitivity is proportional to the log-false positive rate across studies. The approach allows for study-specific false positive rates which are treated as (infinitely many) nuisance parameters and eliminated by means of the profile likelihood. The adjusted profile likelihood turns out to have a simple univariate Gaussian structure which is ultimately used for building inference for the parameter of the Lehmann family. The Lehmann model is further extended by allowing the constant of proportionality to vary across studies to cope with unobserved heterogeneity. The simple Gaussian form of the adjusted profile likelihood allows this extension easily as a form of a mixed model in which unobserved heterogeneity is incorporated by means of a normal random effect. Some meta-analytic applications on diagnostic studies including brain natriuretic peptides for heart failure, alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) and the consumption part of AUDIT for detection of unhealthy alcohol use as well as the mini-mental state examination for cognitive disorders are discussed to illustrate the methodology.
Defining Cyanobacterial Species: Diversity and Description Through Genomics

Abstract Cyanobacteria were the first oxygenic photosynthersizers, evolving ∼3.5 bya, they have since radiated into one of the most diverse and widely distributed phyla of bacteria. Cyanobacterial diversification occurs through ecological adaptation, facilitated by asexual reproduction, homologous recombination and horizontal gene transfer, and selection pressures on ecotypes leading to speciation. Delimiting cyanobacterial species is, thus, fraught with difficulties and a clear taxonomy has not yet been universally accepted. This review discusses diversity and description of cyanobacteria: covering traditional and new methods to define species boundaries and concluding with a focus on the advances made through genomics. Examples from the genera Raphidiopsis, Microcystis, and Prochlorococcus are used throughout. Genome plasticity allows cyanobacteria to rapidly adapt and be resilient to environmental changes, illustrating the means of their persistence, and is an important aspect of their biology. Genomics has revealed generalist and specialist genome strategies, intraspecific diversity, and genome evolution in response to environmental stimuli. New taxonomic definitions will need to account for intraspecific genetic variation, with a species classification that is relevant to a species concept and scientific endeavors. Capturing intraspecific diversity with comparative genomics may provide a new path to species classification. This is demonstrated with two case studies; comparison of available genomes shows differing species delineation of Raphidiopsis and Microcystis. In both genera, species boundaries occur at ∼96% average nucleotide identity (ANI), where homologous recombination is constrained, but speciation of Raphidiopsis raciborskii, R. brookii, and R. curvata has occurred through geographic isolation, whereas available data on Microcystis contain at least 15 species, reflecting, to differing extents, different ecotypes, which may co-exist. Both case studies question the relative importance of species-specific versus habitat specific gene pools as drivers of inter- and intraspecific diversity.
Challenges for the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH), from Waterlogged and Weathered Stone Materials to Conservation Strategies: An Overview

Despite the growing attention to Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) in Europe and worldwide, the efforts in wholly enjoying underwater archaeological assets and sites are still remarkable; hence, the need for innovative research and solutions that are suitable for raising knowledge on the subject. In this way, this paper wants to be a review for highlighting all of the developments, potentials, and results achieved in the last decade to reach a good protection of UCHs related to the study of stone materials, degradation processes, and the new methods for protection/consolidation directly in situ. The present work is focused on the analysis of the main results obtained from several studies conducted to date, providing additional guidelines for operators in the UCH sector (i.e., restorers, archaeologists, conservation scientists, geologists, etc.). Such guidelines will be a very useful key factor in enhancing knowledge, management, protection, and promotion of underwater sites. In particular, the purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the state of the art on both consolidated techniques for studying materials coming from seawater and innovations in the field of protection and consolidation of UCH against biofouling, the main cause of damage in underwater environments.
Li ( OHCH 2 CH 2 NH 2 ) ( CF 3 OAC ) : A novel and homogeneous acidic ionic liquid catalyst for efficient synthesis of 2-amino-4 H-chromene derivatives

The ionic liquid Li(OHCH2CH2NH2)(CF3OAC) was found to efficiently catalyze the three-component reaction between different enols, aldehydes, and malononitrile, leading to rapid synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives in fairly high yields. The catalyst is easily prepared, highly stable, simple to handle and recycled for several times without significant loss of activity. The method is simple, starts from readily accessible commercial starting materials, and provides biologically interesting products in good yields and short reaction times. The desired ionic liquids, for aromatic aldehyde leads to get the products. Heating was very effective in increasing the efficiency of the product and in the presence of heat, the desired products were created in a shorter time.

Variability of surface climate in simulations of past and future

Abstract. It is virtually certain that the mean surface temperature of the Earth will continue to increase under realistic emission scenarios, yet comparatively little is known about future changes in climate variability. This study explores changes in climate variability over the large range of climates simulated by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 and 6 (CMIP5/6) and the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project Phase 3 (PMIP3), including time slices of the Last Glacial Maximum, the mid-Holocene, and idealized experiments (1 % CO2 and abrupt4×CO2). These states encompass climates within a range of 12 ∘C in global mean temperature change. We examine climate variability from the perspectives of local interannual change, coherent climate modes, and through compositing extremes. The change in the interannual variability of precipitation is strongly dependent upon the local change in the total amount of precipitation. At the global scale, temperature variability is inversely related to mean temperature change on intra-seasonal to multidecadal timescales. This decrease is stronger over the oceans, while there is increased temperature variability over subtropical land areas (40∘ S–40∘ N) in warmer simulations. We systematically investigate changes in the standard deviation of modes of climate variability, including the North Atlantic Oscillation, the El Niño–Southern Oscillation, and the Southern Annular Mode, with global mean temperature change. While several climate modes do show consistent relationships (most notably the Atlantic Zonal Mode), no generalizable pattern emerges. By compositing extreme precipitation years across the ensemble, we demonstrate that the same large-scale modes influencing rainfall variability in Mediterranean climates persist throughout paleoclimate and future simulations. The robust nature of the response of climate variability, between cold and warm climates as well as across multiple timescales, suggests that observations and proxy reconstructions could provide a meaningful constraint on climate variability in future projections.

GARCH model with dummy variables is selected to test the week effect of the yield of A shares. Conclusions can be made through the test that “Black Thursday effect” indeed exists in Chinese stock market. Then the possible related reasons are put forward so as to make some suggestions for the regulators and traders of the securities market.
Do we understand near-forward elastic scattering up to TeV energies?

In 1970, on purely theoretical grounds, all total hadronic total cross-sections were predicted to increase without limit for higher and higher energies. This was contrary to the conventional belief at that time. In 1978, an accurate phenomenological model was formulated for the case of proton–proton and antiproton-proton interactions. The parameters for this model were slightly improved in 1984 using the additional available experimental data. Since then, for 30 years these parameters have not changed. This development, including especially the difficult task of formulating this phenomenological model and the comparison of the predictions of this model with later experimental results, is summarized.
Giant aneurysm of the main hepatic artery secondary to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia : 3 D contrast-enhanced MR angiography features CLINICAL

This case report describes a patient with Hereditary Hemorragic Telangiectasia and a giant hepatic artery aneurysm. Aneurysms of the hepatic artery are the second most common form of visceral artery aneurysms. The causes of hepatic artery aneurysms are atherosclerosis in 30% of cases, arteriitides, periarterial inflammation, liver transplantation, and hepatic tumor embolization. To our knowledge no giant hepatic artery aneurysm has been described in relation to Weber-Rendu-Osler disease in the literature. These aneurysms probably develop because of hepatic arterio-venous fistulas and secondary to changes in arterial hemodynamics. The increased use of non invasive imaging techniques such as MRI before liver transplantation in patients with hereditary hemorragic telangiectasia reveals these asymptomatic aneurysms and makes it possible to choose the best therapeutic approach. RÉSUMÉ
Wave Fields and Nearshore Currents in the Coastal Region Opposite San Mauro Cilento (Italy)

In this paper in order to simulate nearshore currents in computational domains representing the complex morphology of real coastal regions we use a model based on a contravariant integral form of the fully nonlinear Boussinesq equations (FNBE). The contravariant integral form, in which Christoffel symbols are absent, of the continuity equation does not contain the dispersive term. The Boussinesq equation system is numerically solved by a hybrid finite volume-finite difference scheme. The wave breaking is represented by discontinuities of the weak solution of the integral form of the nonlinear shallow water equations (NSWE). The capacity of the proposed model to correctly simulate the wave train propagation on a highly distorted grid is verified against test case present in the literature. The simulation of wave fields and nearshore currents in the coastal region, opposite San Mauro Cilento (Italy) in presence of a system of T-head groins, is numerically reproduced by using the proposed model.
