Quantifying the benefits of using decision models with response time and accuracy data
Authors: Stafford Tom , Pirrone Angelo , Croucher Mike , Krystalli Anna 
Published: March 2020

AbstractResponse time and accuracy are fundamental measures of behavioral science, but discerning participants’ underlying abilities can be masked by speed–accuracy trade-offs (SATOs). SATOs are often inadequately addressed in experiment analyses which focus on a single variable or which involve a suboptimal analytic correction. Models of decision-making, such as the drift diffusion model (DDM), provide a principled account of the decision-making process, allowing the recovery of SATO-unconfounded decision parameters from observed behavioral variables. For plausible parameters of a typical between-groups experiment, we simulate experimental data, for both real and null group differences in participants’ ability to discriminate stimuli (represented by differences in the drift rate parameter of the DDM used to generate the simulated data), for both systematic and null SATOs. We then use the DDM to fit the generated data. This allows the direct comparison of the specificity and sensitivity for testing of group differences of different measures (accuracy, reaction time, and the drift rate from the model fitting). Our purpose here is not to make a theoretical innovation in decision modeling, but to use established decision models to demonstrate and quantify the benefits of decision modeling for experimentalists. We show, in terms of reduction of required sample size, how decision modeling can allow dramatically more efficient data collection for set statistical power; we confirm and depict the non-linear speed–accuracy relation; and we show how accuracy can be a more sensitive measure than response time given decision parameters which reasonably reflect a typical experiment.
Improving the robustness of infant lexical processing speed measures
Authors: Egger Julia , Rowland Caroline F. , Bergmann Christina 
Published: March 2020

AbstractVisual reaction times to target pictures after naming events are an informative measurement in language acquisition research, because gaze shifts measured in looking-while-listening paradigms are an indicator of infants’ lexical speed of processing. This measure is very useful, as it can be applied from a young age onwards and has been linked to later language development. However, to obtain valid reaction times, the infant is required to switch the fixation of their eyes from a distractor to a target object. This means that usually at least half the trials have to be discarded—those where the participant is already fixating the target at the onset of the target word—so that no reaction time can be measured. With few trials, reliability suffers, which is especially problematic when studying individual differences. In order to solve this problem, we developed a gaze-triggered looking-while-listening paradigm. The trials do not differ from the original paradigm apart from the fact that the target object is chosen depending on the infant’s eye fixation before naming. The object the infant is looking at becomes the distractor and the other object is used as the target, requiring a fixation switch, and thus providing a reaction time. We tested our paradigm with forty-three 18-month-old infants, comparing the results to those from the original paradigm. The Gaze-triggered paradigm yielded more valid reaction time trials, as anticipated. The results of a ranked correlation between the conditions confirmed that the manipulated paradigm measures the same concept as the original paradigm.

Authors: Yarmolik V. N. , Shevchenko N. A. 
Published: March 2020

The relevance of testing modern computing systems and, first of all, their storage devices is shown. The studies are based on the use of a universal method for generating the address sequences with desired properties for multiple March tests of random access memory devices. The modification of economical method of Antonov and Saleev is used as mathematical model to form Sobol sequences. For this model a structural diagram of its hardware implementation is presented, where the storage device for storing direction numbers is used as the basis. The set of multitudes makes up the generating matrix. It is noted that the form of the generating matrix determines the basic properties of the generated sequences. Mathematical expressions are obtained that make it possible to estimate the limiting values of switching activity, both of the sequence itself and of its individual bits. A technique is proposed for the synthesis of generators of address sequences with a given switching activity both of its individual bits and of the sequence as a whole. Examples of the application of the proposed methods are considered. The applicability of the presented results to the synthesis of test sequence generators with a given switching activity for the purpose of testing storage devices and the formation of controlled random test sequences is substantiated. The results of the practical implementation of address sequence generators are presented and their main characteristics are evaluated.

Preferencias de alumnos de licenciatura para escoger un socio emprendedor. ¿Brecha entre instituciones de educación superior privadas y públicas? Un estudio en el sureste de México. /
Authors: Barroso Tanoira Francisco Gerardo 
Published: March 2020

Debido al incremento de las iniciativas para el fomento del emprendimiento, existe la posibilidad de que los alumnos de las instituciones privadas y públicas estén trabajando como si estuvieran en mundos separados. Por lo tanto, en este estudio se pretende verificar si existe una brecha entre las preferencias de los alumnos de licenciatura para escoger un socio emprendedor. Los resultados indican que los alumnos de las privadas prefieren asociarse con personas de su círculo social o familia, mientras que los de las públicas se orientan más hacia el profesionalismo, inclusive por encima de amigos o de su familia. Desde estos resultados, se está abriendo una brecha entre ambos tipos de instituciones, por lo que es necesario que los alumnos se encuentren y trabajen juntos a través de estrategias como la participación en eventos de investigación, proyectos conjuntos y programas de vinculación entre instituciones.
ABSTRACT:
Because of the increase in initiatives for fostering entrepreneurship, there is the possibility that students from private and public institutions are working as if they were in separate worlds. Because of this, the objective of this study is to verify if there is a gap between the preferences of undergraduate students for selecting an entrepreneurship partner. Results indicate that students from private institutions prefer associations with people from their social circle or family, while those from public ones are more oriented to professionalism, even more than to friends or their families. From these results, there is an opening gap between both kinds of institutions, for which it is necessary that students meet and work together through strategies such as participation in research events, joint projects and programs among institutions.
Psychoemotional state and cognitive function in patients with cerebrovascular pathology depending on level of stress risk
Authors: Yavorska T. P. 
Published: March 2020

Background. Somatic disease often causes psycho-emotional distress, reflecting the intensity of mental distress and the state of psychological adaptation person to a stressful situation.
Objective – to study the characteristics of the psychoemotional state and cognitive functioning in patients with cerebrovascular pathology at different stages of development in relation to the level of stress risk.
Materials and methods. At Kharkiv Regional Clinical Hospital – Emergency and Emergency Medicine Center during 2016-2018, observed 383 patients with cerebrovascular pathology on different stage of diseases and 47 healthy persons. In research we used Symptomatic questionnaire by Alexanrovich, “Lifestyle Analysis” test and MOCA.
Results. The high level of stress risk in patients with cerebrovascular pathology combined with an increasing of psychoemotional distress and a change in the structure of psychopathological symptoms. In patients with cerebrovascular pathology found growth psychopathological manifestations along the axis of stress risk and the axis period of the disease, which determines the health centered lifestyle and somatic disease as important factors of mental distress. Increased stress is combined with a cognitive impairment. The growth clinical manifestations of cerebrovascular disease and especially the state after a stroke accompanied with a cognitive impairment as a result of brain injury.
Conclusions. Investigation of the psycho-emotional and cognitive function state in connection with level of stress risk is important for the development of a complex psychological help for patients with cerebrovascular pathology based on a health-centered approach.

Published: March 2020

Abstract. A new cloud microphysical scheme including a detailed parameterization for
aerosol-driven ice formation in cirrus clouds is implemented in the global
ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) chemistry–climate model and
coupled to the third generation of the Modal Aerosol Dynamics model for Europe adapted for global applications (MADE3) aerosol submodel. The new
scheme is able to consistently simulate three regimes of stratiform clouds –
liquid, mixed-, and ice-phase (cirrus) clouds – considering the activation of
aerosol particles to form cloud droplets and the nucleation of ice
crystals. In the cirrus regime, it allows for the competition between
homogeneous and heterogeneous freezing for the available supersaturated water
vapor, taking into account different types of ice-nucleating particles, whose
specific ice-nucleating properties can be flexibly varied in the model
setup. The new model configuration is tuned to find the optimal set of
parameters that minimizes the model deviations with respect to
observations. A detailed evaluation is also performed comparing the model
results for standard cloud and radiation variables with a comprehensive set of
observations from satellite retrievals and in situ measurements. The
performance of EMAC-MADE3 in this new coupled configuration is in line with
similar global coupled models and with other global aerosol models featuring
ice cloud parameterizations. Some remaining discrepancies, namely a high
positive bias in liquid water path in the Northern Hemisphere and
overestimated (underestimated) cloud droplet number concentrations over the
tropical oceans (in the extratropical regions), which are both
a common problem in these kinds of models, need to be taken into account in
future applications of the model. To further demonstrate the readiness of the
new model system for application studies, an estimate of the anthropogenic
aerosol effective radiative forcing (ERF) is provided, showing that EMAC-MADE3
simulates a relatively strong aerosol-induced cooling but within the range
reported in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments.
Climate change impacts on the Water Highway project in Morocco
Authors: El Moçayd Nabil , Kang Suchul , Eltahir Elfatih A. B. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract. The hydrology of Morocco is characterized by significant spatial variability. Precipitation follows a sharp gradient, decreasing from the north to the south. In order to redistribute the available water, a project has been proposed to transfer 860×106 m3 yr−1 from the
wet north to the arid southern regions, namely the “Water Highway” project. The present study aims to address the viability of the project after accounting for the impacts of climate change in the watersheds located in the north. We perform regional climate model (RCM) simulations over the study region using boundary conditions from five different global circulation models (GCMs) and assuming two different emissions scenarios – RCP4.5 (with mitigation) and RCP8.5 (business as usual). The impact on precipitation and temperature are assessed, and the decrease in the available water quantity is estimated. Under RCP8.5, the project is likely not feasible. However, under the RCP4.5, a rescaled version of this project may be feasible depending on how much water is allocated to satisfy the local water demand in the north.
Predictive skill for atmospheric rivers in the western Iberian Peninsula
Authors: Ramos Alexandre M. , Sousa Pedro M. , Dutra Emanuel , Trigo Ricardo M. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract. A large fraction of extreme precipitation and flood events across western Europe are triggered by atmospheric rivers (ARs). The association between ARs and extreme precipitation days over the Iberian Peninsula has been well documented for western river basins. Since ARs are often associated with high impact weather, it is important to
study their medium-range predictability. Here we perform such an assessment
using the ECMWF ensemble forecasts up to 15 d for events where ARs made
landfall in the western Iberian Peninsula during the winters spanning between 2012–2013 and 2015–2016. Vertically integrated horizontal water vapor transport (IVT) and precipitation from the 51 ensemble members of the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) ensemble (ENS) were processed over a domain including western Europe and the contiguous North Atlantic Ocean. Metrics concerning AR location, intensity, and orientation were computed, in order to compare the predictive skill (for different prediction lead times) of IVT and precipitation. We considered several regional boxes over western Iberia, where the presence of ARs is detected in analysis/forecasts, enabling the construction of contingency tables and
probabilistic evaluation for further objective verification of forecast
accuracy. Our results indicate that the ensemble forecasts have skill in
detecting upcoming AR events, which can be particularly useful to better
predict potential hydrometeorological extremes. We also characterized how
the ENS dispersion and confidence curves change with increasing forecast
lead times for each sub-domain. The probabilistic evaluation, using receiver operating characteristic (ROC)
analysis, shows that for short lead times precipitation forecasts are more
accurate than IVT forecasts, while for longer lead times this reverses
(∼10 d). Furthermore, we show that this reversal occurs for shorter lead times in areas where the AR contribution is more relevant for winter precipitation totals (e.g., northwestern Iberia).
Linking drought indices to impacts to support drought risk assessment in Liaoning province, China

Published: March 2020

Abstract. Drought is a ubiquitous and recurring hazard that has wide-ranging impacts on society, agriculture and the environment. Drought indices are vital for characterising the nature and severity of drought hazards, and there have been extensive efforts to identify the most suitable drought indices for drought monitoring and risk assessment. However, to date, little effort has been made to explore which index (or indices) best represents drought impacts for various sectors in China. This is a critical knowledge gap, as impacts provide important ground truth information for indices used in monitoring activities. The aim of this study is to explore the link between drought indices and drought impacts, using Liaoning province (northeast China) as a case study due to its history of drought occurrence. To achieve this we use independent, but complementary, methods (correlation and random forest analysis) to identify which indices link best to drought impacts for prefectural-level cities in Liaoning province, using a comprehensive database of reported drought impacts in which impacts are classified into a range of categories. The results show that the standardised precipitation evapotranspiration index with a 6-month accumulation (SPEI6) had a strong correlation with all categories of drought impacts, while the standardised precipitation index with a 12-month accumulation (SPI12) had a weak correlation with drought impacts. Of the impact datasets, “drought-suffering area” and “drought impact area” had a strong relationship with all drought indices in Liaoning province, while “population and number of
livestock with difficulty in accessing drinking water” had weak correlations with the indices. The results of this study can support drought planning efforts in the region and provide context for the indices used in drought-monitoring applications, so enabling improved preparedness for drought impacts. The study also demonstrates the potential benefits of routine collection of drought impact information on a local scale.

Ut musica pictura: Góngora and the Sound-Visual Rhetoric in unpublished Anotations of Angulo y Pulgar to the Polifemo
Authors: Borrego Francisco Javier Escobar 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
On the margins of the Góngora polemic, Martín de Angulo y Pulgar proceeded to reclaim the poetic image of Góngora in the third decade of the seventeenth century, while preparing an edition of his poetry. For this, he used Jean de Courbes’ engraved portrait of Góngora and, as editor, included another one by himself. To complete this strategy of (self-)promotion, Angulo paid special attention to the ties between Góngora’s verses and the fine arts, above all in his poetic painting of the Polifemo and his use of the chiaroscuro, and the stylization of forms, with El Greco always in the background.
Tensions about Technology, Monstrous Doubling, and Magical Illusion in The Prestige
Authors: Humann Heather Duerre 
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT
Christopher Nolan’s film The Prestige traces the rivalry between two stage magicians (Borden and Angier) and, in telling their stories, also demonstrates the versatility of the figure of the doppelgänger. Specifically, the film calls attention to how the double can operate as a cultural vehicle to bring to the forefront the concerns of a given era. In the case of Borden, the film offers an update on the twin formula and raises questions about self and identity. The case of Angier and the existence of his duplicates showcases the degree to which humans are evolving with technology and highlights the many cultural anxieties that technological change brings about.
Noninvasive Follicular Tumor With Papillary-like Nuclear Features: A Practice Changer in Thyroid Pathology
Authors: LiVolsi Virginia A. , Baloch Zubair 
Published: March 2020

Context.—
This article presents a review of noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP), including its separation from follicular variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, its evolution, and current definition and pathologic characteristics.

Objectives.—
To emphasize the understanding of the concept of NIFTP as a neoplasm based on molecular analyses, its critical histopathologic features, the microscopic findings that exclude the diagnosis, and the importance of complete sectioning of the tumor to exclude neoplasms that should be diagnosed as carcinomas. Important distinctions are discussed including difficulties with literature that shows NIFTP with metastases, inadequacy of sectioning of the tumor, and lack of descriptive histology of the surrounding thyroid and possible other lesions.

Data Sources.—
Review of articles in the English literature on NIFTP, as well as comparative papers showing differences and distinctions between this entity and papillary carcinomas.

Conclusions.—
This article concludes that with the current state of knowledge on NIFTP with studies from all over the world, this entity is a low-risk neoplasm that, when diagnosed using appropriate criteria, should not be associated with metastatic or recurrent disease, at least on intermediate length of follow-up. This review includes discussion of multifocal NIFTP, as well as the recently defined micro-NIFTP (1 cm or less), and describes features of the tumor that remain to be studied and correlated with outcome: oncocytic variants of NIFTP, percentage of allowable solid areas of growth in the lesions, and definitions of true neoplastic papillae and hyperplastic ones and how these should influence the diagnosis of NIFTP.
