Published: June 2020

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an infectious virus that causes mild to severe life-threatening upper respiratory tract infection. The virus emerged in Wuhan, China in 2019, and later spread across the globe. Its genome has been completely sequenced and based on the genomic information, the virus possessed 3C-Like Main Protease (3CLpro), an essential multifunctional enzyme that plays a vital role in the replication and transcription of the virus by cleaving polyprotein at eleven various sites to produce different non-structural proteins. This makes the protein an important target for drug design and discovery. Herein, we analyzed the interaction between the 3CLpro and potential inhibitory compounds identified from the extracts of Zingiber offinale and Anacardium occidentale using in silico docking and Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation. The crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 main protease in complex with 02J (5-Methylisoxazole-3-carboxylic acid) and PEJ (composite ligand) (PDB Code: 6LU7,2.16Å) retrieved from Protein Data Bank (PDB) and subject to structure optimization and energy minimization. A total of twenty-nine compounds were obtained from the extracts of Zingiber offinale and the leaves of Anacardium occidentale. These compounds were screened for physicochemical (Lipinski rule of five, Veber rule, and Egan filter), Pan-Assay Interference Structure (PAINS), and pharmacokinetic properties to determine the Pharmaceutical Active Ingredients (PAIs). Of the 29 compounds, only nineteen (19) possessed drug-likeness properties with efficient oral bioavailability and less toxicity. These compounds subjected to molecular docking analysis to determine their binding energies with the 3CLpro. The result of the analysis indicated that the free binding energies of the compounds ranged between ˗5.08 and -10.24kcal/mol, better than the binding energies of 02j (-4.10kcal/mol) and PJE (-5.07kcal.mol). Six compounds (CID_99615 = -10.24kcal/mol, CID_3981360 = 9.75kcal/mol, CID_9910474 = -9.14kcal/mol, CID_11697907 = -9.10kcal/mol, CID_10503282 = -9.09kcal/mol and CID_620012 = -8.53kcal/mol) with good binding energies further selected and subjected to MD Simulation to determine the stability of the protein-ligand complex. The results of the analysis indicated that all the ligands form stable complexes with the protein, although, CID_9910474 and CID_10503282 had a better stability when compared to other selected phytochemicals (CID_99615, CID_3981360, CID_620012, and CID_11697907).
The Influence of Electronic Structure Modelling and Junction Structure on First-Principles Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity
Authors: Zöllner Martin Sebastian , Mujica Vladimiro , Herrmann Carmen
Published: June 2020

We have carried out a comprehensive study of the influence of electronic structure modeling and junction structure description on the first-principles calculation of the spin polarization in molecular junctions caused by the chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. We explore the limits and the sensitivity to modelling decisions of a Landauer / Green’s function / density functional theory approach to CISS. We find that although the CISS effect is entirely attributed in the literature to molecular spin filtering, spin-orbit coupling being partially inherited from the metal electrodes plays an important role in our calculations, even though this effect cannot explain the experi- mental conductance results. Also, an important dependence on the specific description of exchange interaction and spin–orbit coupling is manifest in our approach. This is important because the interplay between exchange effects and spin-orbit coupling may play an important role in the description of the junction magnetic response. Our calculations are relevant for the whole field of spin-polarized electron transport and electron transfer because there is still an open discussion in the literature about the detailed underlying mechanism and the magnitude of relevant physical parameters that need to be included to achieve a consistent description of the CISS effect

Published: June 2020

We report self assembling/aggregation properties of acyl-thiourea derivative, N-((6-methoxy-pyridin-2-yl)carbamothioyl)benzamide(NG1) [i1] and the disaggregation induced emission which leads to its application as fluorescence and colorimetric probe for the sensitive detection of Cu2+. The microscopy analysis of NG1via SEM, and AFM reveal that it self-assembles to give fiber-like morphologies.Interestingly,NG1 also assembles to fluorescent fibers which show tunable emission properties. Addition of Cu2+to these fibers causedisruption/disaggregation of fibers and a golden yellow fluorescence is produced due to disaggregation induced emission enhancement (DIEE). The application of NG1 as selective sensor for copper was further assessed by UV visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. Limit of Detection(LOD) of Cu2+ with colorimetry was 2.5ppm while LOD of Cu2+ with fluorescence was as low as 0.1ppm. This yellow fluorescence is quenched after the addition of lactic acid and hence NG1 could potentially be used for the sequential detection of both Cu and lactate.Further, structural modification of the probe NG1 suggest crucial role of both pyridine and acyl-thiourea moiety in the binding of Cu2+. The experimental results of interaction of NG1 with Cu2+ and lactate were also validated theoretically by quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). Finally, we explore the ability of NG1for the sequential detection of Cu2+ and lactate in cells, which suggestsNG1 can be used effectively for the cellular imaging applications and to selectively sense Cu2+. To, the best of our knowledge, this is the first report wherein a dual sensor for Cu2+and lactate ion is synthesized and it may in allpossibilities pave the way for the diagnosis of Cu2+associated disorders like Wilson’s disease and in the detection of elevated lactate levels which are associated with the wide range of pathologies likemitochondrial diseases, cerebral ischemia and cancer.
Machine Learning Accurate Exchange and Correlation Functionals of the Electronic Density
Authors: Dick Sebastian , Fernandez-Serra Marivi
Published: June 2020

Density Functional Theory (DFT) is the standard formalism to study the electronic structureof matter at the atomic scale. In Kohn-Sham DFT simulations, the balance between accuracyand computational cost depends on the choice of exchange and correlation functional, which onlyexists in approximate form. Here we propose a framework to create density functionals usingsupervised machine learning, termed NeuralXC. These machine-learned functionals are designed tolift the accuracy of baseline functionals towards that are provided by more accurate methods whilemaintaining their efficiency. We show that the functionals learn a meaningful representation of thephysical information contained in the training data, making them transferable across systems. ANeuralXC functional optimized for water outperforms other methods characterizing bond breakingand excels when comparing against experimental results. This work demonstrates that NeuralXCis a first step towards the design of a universal, highly accurate functional valid for both moleculesand solids.

Published: June 2020

Nanoparticles have their demand in various fields of science and technology and their applications extend even in medical and pharmaceutical arena. They have been used as preservatives, diagnosing aids and potent antibacterial agents. But their production is a serious matter of concern when it comes to cost, efficacy and toxicity issues. Overcoming these limitations green synthesis has taken its advantage for their commercial and large scale synthesis. This research will focus on the preparation of nano particles of silver with the help of purified leaf extract from Lannea coromandelica and evaluation of the same using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. The nanoparticles exhibited surface plasmon resonance at 420nm in UV spectroscopy. Futhermore, nanoparticles have been evaluated for their antibacterial activity on Putida vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtillis. The results proved the eco friendly synthesized silver nanoparticles have a good antibacterial and can be used effectively in therapies targeting infections and infectious wounds.

The importance of fieldwork over predictive modeling in quantifying predation events of carnivores marked with GPS technology
Authors: Elbroch L Mark , Lowrey B , Wittmer Heiko
Published: June 2020

© 2017 American Society of Mammalogists. Global positioning system (GPS) technology has revolutionized the study of carnivores. Researchers commonly estimate kill rates with GPS data using the following steps. Firstly, researchers mark individual animals and fit them with GPS collars. Next, they visit a subset of "GPS clusters" (aggregated location data) during field surveys and assign spatiotemporal covariates associated with predation and non-predation events. Lastly, they develop predictive models with data collected in the field to estimate the probability that each cluster they did not visit in the field was a predation event. Such predation models help reduce field efforts and save money; however, these models are prone to error when carnivores eat prey of different sizes or exhibit shorter-than-expected handling times. We simulated reduced field efforts to investigate the reliability of predictive modeling in determining diet composition and detecting predation events for 3 puma (Puma concolor) populations with different prey assemblages and potential effects on handling time of carcasses. We visited a total 1,896 clusters in Chilean Patagonia, Colorado, and California, of which 1,752 clusters (∼92%) were included to build and test predation models. Across all study areas, the total time a puma spent at a cluster was the only reliable predictor of a cluster being a predation event. When we reduced field efforts by selectively removing GPS clusters < 12 and < 24 h in length, model performance improved but produced inaccurate results. Predation models underestimated the number of predation events in California and Colorado and significantly over-or underestimated the number of predation events in Patagonia. Selectively reducing field efforts also reduced the diversity and evenness of prey we recorded in puma diets. Randomly reducing field efforts, in contrast, reduced the precision of model estimates. Our results highlight the importance of conducting intensive fieldwork over predation modeling to measure prey selection and kill rates of carnivores.
Buffering artificial nest boxes for procellariiformes breeding in exposed habitats: Investigating effects on temperature and humidity
Authors: Fischer Johannes , Chambon J , Debski I , Hiscock JA , Cole R , Taylor GA , Wittmer Heiko
Published: June 2020

© The Ornithological Society of New Zealand Inc. The tendency of various species, including many Procellariiformes, to breed in sub-terrestrial burrows, complicates breeding biology studies. Artificial nest boxes facilitate detailed data collection, but may alter the buffering capacity of natural burrows, especially when these nests are exposed to direct sunlight (e.g., in non-forested habitats). We tested the buffering capacity of artificial nest boxes, equipped with additional insulating features, ex-situ in a non-forested sand dune in New Zealand. Specifically, we compared daily temperature (°C) and relative humidity (%) means, minima, and maxima between artificial nest boxes, Procellariiform burrow replicas, and ambient conditions sourced further inland using linear mixed effects models (LMMs), followed by post-hoc tests. Differences between artificial nest boxes and replicas were non-significant (P > 0.05). Our results thus showed that the applied insulating features were sufficient to retain the buffering capacities expected in natural burrows, even in exposed habitats such as sand dunes. Hence, we encourage the use of insulated artificial nest boxes in breeding biology studies targeting burrowing Procellariiformes (and other sub-terrestrially breeding species) in non-forested areas.
Conservation and restoration in peopled landscapes in Oceania: Opportunities and challenges

Published: June 2020

© 2018 CSIRO. While the role of humans in causing high rates of species extinctions worldwide is well established, philosophies and opinions as to how to mitigate the current biodiversity loss are once again hotly debated topics. At the centre of the debate are differences in opinions regarding the value and the best methods of conserving and restoring biodiversity in peopled landscapes. Here we synthesise information from different case studies from Oceania that demonstrate how biodiversity conservation in peopled landscapes will require different, and often novel, socio-ecological approaches. We draw special attention to the importance of prioritising human dimensions in the conservation of different ecosystems, ranging from highly modified urban areas to largely intact wilderness areas. Particularly, we explore the importance of understanding motivations to conserve biodiversity, implementing well designed conservation actions, both socially and ecologically, and involving different stakeholders in the design and implementation of conservation projects. On the basis of our synthesis, we suggest that conservation in peopled landscapes in Oceania offers great opportunities for community involvement, including traditional landowners, in all aspects of conservation planning and implementation. Where uncertainties regarding the suitability of established management strategies exist, novel guidelines should be based on the best available ecological and social evidence to avoid potential negative outcomes.
A preliminary range-wide distribution model for the sacramento valley red fox
Authors: Sacks BN , Statham MJ , Wittmer Heiko
Published: June 2020

© 2017, Allen Press. All rights reserved. The Sacramento Valley red fox Vulpes vulpes patwin of California is a newly named subspecies recently found to be distinct both from other native red foxes and nearby introduced populations. The Sacramento Valley red fox experienced a historical demographic bottleneck resulting in a critically small genetic effective population size, causing concern over its current status and management requirements, yet little is known about its contemporary abundance, demographic trajectory, or habitat use. The hot, arid Sacramento Valley contrasts starkly in climate and physiography with the boreal habitats of other indigenous red foxes in western North America, indicating the need to obtain information specifically on the habitat requirements of this subspecies. A 3-y effort to locate reproductive den sites throughout the Sacramento Valley resulted in 42 independent dens, which we used to obtain preliminary information on habitat use and to develop a distribution model for this subspecies, and 28 Sacramento Valley red foxes killed by vehicles, which we used as independent data to test the models. Foxes were present significantly more than expected in grasslands and less than expected in wetlands and flooded agriculture and also tended to occur in proximity to human development, potentially as refuges from coyotes Canis latrans. We used Maxent to build predictive models. The best model, which incorporated vegetation/land-use classes and proximity to human development, identified 24% of the study area as predicted-presence habitat, which contained 76% of the den sites used to construct the model and 89% of independent locations used to test the model. Our model greatly narrowed the area over which foxes are predicted to occur and will facilitate future surveys to assess occupancy and ultimately abundance and population trends.

Authors: Putra Ahmad Pratama
Published: June 2020

The main activities in Serang Regency which are suspected to produce pollutants and air emissions include industrial business activities where the pollutants produced are in the form of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) gas which is not only dangerous for humans and animals, but also dangerous for plant life. Therefore this study tries to examine the spatial pattern of NO2 gas dispersion and its impact on settlements in Serang Regency. Based on the results of ambient air quality measurements in Serang Regency, which have been measured by the Serang Regency Environmental Agency from 2015 - 2019 for the NO2 parameter, it is seen that none of them exceed the standard of the PP No. 41 of 1999 concerning Air Pollution Control. The results of gas dispersion modeling show a tendency that gas concentration is relatively high in industrial zones, which indicates the contribution of gases from industrial business activities in several monsoons. The most extensive settlement affected by NO2 gas with the highest value (40-50 µg / Nm3) is in Cikande District covering an area of 396.4 Ha which occurs during the west monsoon (December-February).

Saat ini industri kita telah memasuki suatu masa yang disebut dengan era digital. Segala sesuatu dapat diakses dengan mudah baik yang bersifa positif atau bahkan negatif. Persaingan dunia usaha juga semakin ketat. Bagi industri yang telah menerapkan pola digitalisasi tentu tidak kesulitan beradaptasi dengan kondisi ini. Akan tetapi bagi usaha yang masih bertahan di pola-pola tradisional akan tergerus oleh kemajuan atau dapat tertinggal jauh dengan usaha yang telah menerapkan sistem di era ini. Provinsi Jawa Timur, sebagai Provinsi ke-2 terbesar di Indonesia, saat ini memiliki potensi ekonomi yang luar biasa. Ditinjau dari sisi jumlah industri kecil dan menengah saat ini Jawa Timur memiliki 12,1 juta unit UKM ( Usaha Kecil Menengah) tetapi hanya 1,3 juta unit yang siap memasuki persaingan di era globalisasi. Itu berarti masih perlu lebih banyak upaya pendampingan maupun pelatihan untuk mendorong UKM untuk meningkatkan keunggulan kompetitif mereka. Peningkatan daya saing merupakan suatu keniscayaan.

The results showed that the concept of human existence in the film “Aisyah Biarkan Kami Bersaudara” by Herwin Novianto have three, namely (1) the concept of togetherness and love, including intimacy, mutual assistance/cooperation, advising, mutual respect and respect, attention, responsibility, openness, compassion, tepa salira, belief, and joke; (2) the concept of conflict, including disagreement, disagreement, disrespect, acceptability, distrust, and hatred; (3) the concept of alienation and loneliness, including sadness, anxiety, aggravation, worry, fear, and lies.Keywords: human existence, film, “Aisyah Biarkan Kami Bersaudara”
Anisotropic and viscoelastic tensile mechanical properties of aponeurosis: Experimentation, modeling, and tissue microstructure
Authors: Wheatley Benjamin
Published: June 2020

poneuroses are stiff sheath-like components of the muscle-tendon unit that play a vital role in force transmission and thus locomotion. There is clear importance of the aponeurosis in musculoskeletal function, but there have been relatively few studies of aponeurosis material properties to date. The goals of this work were to: 1) perform tensile stress-relaxation tests, 2) perform planar biaxial tests, 3) employ computational modeling to the data from 1 to 2, and 4) perform scanning electron microscopy to determine collagen fibril organization for aponeurosis tissue. Viscoelastic modeling and statistical analysis of stress-relaxation data showed that while relaxation rate differed statistically between strain levels (p = 0.044), functionally the relaxation behavior was nearly the same. Biaxial testing and associated modeling highlighted the nonlinear (toe region of ~2–3% strain) and anisotropic (longitudinal direction linear modulus ~50 MPa, transverse ~2.5 MPa) tensile mechanical behavior of aponeurosis tissue. Comparisons of various constitutive formulations showed that a transversely isotropic Ogden approach balanced strong fitting (goodness of fit 0.984) with a limited number of parameters (five), while damage modeling parameters were also provided. Scanning electron microscopy showed a composite structure of highly aligned, partially wavy collagen fibrils with more random collagen cables for aponeurosis microstructure. Future work to expand microstructural analysis and use these data to inform computational modeling would benefit this work and the field.
Blockchain-mediated Licensing: Legal Engineering for Artist Empowerment
Authors: adjovu charles , Fabian Ewa
Published: June 2020

Licensing is one of the essential means of exploiting the monetary value of a musical work, and yet it is an area fraught with many issues and transactional costs which make it a difficult process for individuals and organizations. Many issues in music licensing arise from the legal complexity (e.g., national and international copyright law), business complexity (authentication, tracking, accounting, etc.), value web complexity (transparency of relationships among stakeholders), and technical complexity (e.g., establishing a global repertoire database for music, sufficient metadata standards) of working with music. Then, in addition to these issues, there are specific transactional costs (identification, negotiation, monitoring, and enforcement) associated with the licensing process. To mitigate the complexity and transactional costs associated with music and the licensing process, researchers and technologists have been investigating how new technologies and design models from the Web3 space, such as blockchain, linked data and Ricardian Contracts, can automate processes to reduce complexity, speed up payments, improve tracking, and provide other benefits in the music industry. In our report, we make our own attempt to reduce the complexity and transactional costs in the licensing process by developing an automated music license. In doing so, we first conducted a literature review scoping the intersection of music complexity and Web3 technologies to provide background and context to automating music licensing. Then we developed the Practical Tokenized Drafting (PTD) method, a set of core principles and practices for drafting Ricardian Contracts that interact with Web3 technologies (RC-Web3 Templates), and the Tokenized Music License (TML), an RC-Web3 Template standard form for music licensing on the OpenLaw platform. Both the PTD and TML can be adapted to meet the needs of music industry stakeholders and provide guidance to legal practitioners in drafting RC-Web3 Templates.
Adherence and acceptability of a multidrug vaginal ring for HIV prevention in a phase I study in the United States
Authors: Muungo Lungwani
Published: June 2020

Recent biomedical developments for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have highlighted both successes and challenges with daily or peri/pre-coital use of antiretroviral (ARV)-based prevention methods (1,2). Several topical and oral effectiveness PrEP trials yielded divergent results, mainly attributed to varying levels of product adherence within and across trials. These results highlight that ARV-based prevention approaches are highly dependent on correct dosing to achieve adequate protection (3). These approaches have aptly been coined “bio-behavioral,” as individuals have to adjust their behavior to incorporate correct use of these products into their lives and the technologies have to be developed to fit with people’s lives and behaviors (4,5).Worldwide, women continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV (6) thus the search for novel, acceptable female-initiated methods remain an important priority. Microbicide vaginal rings can offer sustained single or multidrug topical delivery that can simplify use and improve product effectiveness. Rings offer several advantages over the applicator-and-gel approach, such as continuous use for one to several months and coital independence of product application (7); thus rings have the potential to increase product adherence, acceptability, and effectiveness. Previous studies in Africa have shown overall high acceptability and high reported adherence to vaginal rings for HIV prevention (8–11). Two Phase III trials are ongoing in Africa, testing the safety and effectiveness of a vaginal ring containing 25 mg of dapivirine (DPV), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (12,13).In Europe, the United States, and most recently in South Africa, vaginal rings are currently used for contraception (14). Rings are also used for treatment of symptoms related to menopause. Studies have repeatedly shown high acceptability among women who use NuvaRing®, a combined hormonal contraceptive ring, both in the United States and abroad (15–17). In a European study, sexual comfort was reportedly high and 15% of women and 29% of partners felt the ring during intercourse at least occasionally (15). In one comparative study between NuvaRing and oral contraceptives with young women in the United States, the ring’s overall acceptability was good (65%) however, more women thought that the ring, compared with the pill, interfered with sex and fewer partners liked the ring (18). In contrast, in another United States-based comparative study, women preferred the vaginal ring to both the contraceptive patch and oral contraceptives (5). Thus, in preparation for the introduction of a vaginal ring as a novel HIV prevention method, it is critical to understand the acceptability of various product attributes as well as users’ experiences and skills needed for correct and consistent use in a range of settings.
What echolocation does and doesn’t mean for language
Authors: Reynolds Brett
Published: June 2020

There is an argument from analogy that goes like this: echolocation is a cognitive specialization in bats and language is similarly a cognitive specialization in humans; consequently, because echolocation is a trait that is the result of natural selection, the language faculty must also be. I show that echolocation is a latent ability in humans which cannot have been selected for, i.e., it is a spandrel. This turns the tables on the argument from analogy, showing that either the analogy was false, or that the correct conclusion is that the language faculty is likely a spandrel. I then argue that natural selection of a propensity to notice and attend to the relevant input is likely to have led to the language faculty.
Multiplicity Control vs Replication: Making an Obvious Choice Even More Obvious
Authors: Hunter Andrew , Beribisky Nataly , Farmus Linda , Cribbie Rob
Published: June 2020

This paper presents a side-by-side consideration of multiplicity control procedures and replication as solutions to the problem of multiplicity. Several independent theoretical arguments are presented which demonstrate that replication serves several important functions, and that multiplicity control procedures have a number of serious flaws. Subsequently, the results of a simulation study are provided, showing that under typical conditions, replication provides similar familywise error control and power as multiplicity control procedures. Taken together, these theoretical and statistical arguments lead to the conclusion that researchers who are concerned about the problem of multiplicity should shift their attention away from multiplicity control procedures and towards increased use of replication.
The role of dopamine in action control: insights from medication effects in Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Ruitenberg Marit , van Wouwe Nelleke , Wylie Scotty , Abrahamse Elger
Published: June 2020

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurological disorder associated primarily with overt motor symptoms. Several studies show that PD is additionally accompanied by impairments in covert cognitive processes underlying goal-directed motor functioning (e.g., action planning, conflict adaptation, inhibition), and that dopaminergic medication may modulate these action control components. In this review we aim to leverage findings from studies in this domain to elucidate the role of dopamine (DA) in action control. A qualitative review of studies that investigated the effects of medication status (on vs. off) on action control in PD suggests a component-specific role for DA in action control, although the expression of medication effects depends on characteristics of both the patients and experimental tasks used to measure action control. We discuss these results in the light of findings from other research lines examining the role of DA in action control (e.g., animal research, pharmacology), and recommend that future studies use multi-method, within-subject approaches to model DA effects on action control across different components as well as underlying striatal pathways (ventral vs. dorsal).
Cross-cultural, developmental psychology: Integrating approaches and key insights
Authors: Amir Dorsa , McAuliffe Katherine
Published: June 2020

Like psychology more broadly, developmental psychology has long suffered from a narrow focus on children from WEIRD societies—or those that are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. In this review, we discuss how developmental scientists have sought to correct this bias through two complementary approaches: one centered on detailed, ethnographic investigations of child development within populations (increasing the depth of our understanding) and one focused on larger, multi-site studies that test children on standardized tasks across populations (increasing breadth) . We review key papers from each of these approaches, describe how they are currently practiced, and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. Next, we highlight exemplary papers from the adult literature that offer useful insights, namely the importance of formal modeling and a greater focus on studying variation at multiple levels of analysis. We end by outlining best practices for future waves of cross-cultural, developmental science. Overall, we argue that a more integrated perspective, combining the strengths of the breadth & depth approaches, can help better elucidate the developmental origins of human behavioral diversity.
Symmetric or not? A holistic approach to the measurement of fluctuating asymmetry from facial photographs

Published: June 2020

Previous studies investigated the relationship between facial asymmetry, perceived attractiveness and peoples' traits. The diversity of results might be due to methodological issues and poor standardization between asymmetry scoring methods. We evaluate two traditional scoring methods, the Horizontal Angular Asymmetry (HAA) and the Horizontal Fluctuating Asymmetry (HFA), and propose a geometric morphometrics-based Holistic Facial Asymmetry Score (HFAS). In Study 1, 1000 photographs with different types of asymmetry were simulated and then correlated with the estimated facial asymmetry scores. Results indicate that HFA was highly affected by extrinsic factors, while HAA and HFAS were less affected and rather capture intrinsic asymmetry. In Study 2, HFAS and HAA were compared for 160 facial images (45% Female, M = 27.6 years) by estimating their correlations with ratings of attractiveness and targets' traits provided by 81 adults (51% Female, M = 27.7 years). Results suggest that attractiveness was only related with extrinsic factors. HAA was related with higher fairness, femininity, modesty, and sincerity, but less greediness and masculinity. HFAS was related with low femininity, high masculinity, and greediness, as well as low negativity, higher fairness, and sincerity. We discuss the benefits of HFAS as a scoring method for the assessment of facial asymmetry.
