The Effect of On-the-Job Experience on Base-Rate Neglect: Evidence from Medical Professionals
Authors: Araujo Felipe A. , Chabris Christopher F. , Meyer Michelle N. 
Published: February 2025

We study the effect of on-the-job experience on base-rate neglect, which is a common bias in assessing conditional probabilities. We do so by carrying out experiments with medical professionals, who are routinely exposed to conditional-probability problems in the form of diagnostic tests, and nonmedical professionals, who are not. As such, medical workers with more years of experience will have had more exposure to base-rate type problems than nonmedical workers with similar years of experience. We estimate the effect of on-the-job experience by comparing the answers of more or less experienced professionals in both the medical and nonmedical domains. Although the incidence of the bias is high for both groups and all levels of experience, we find that more experienced medical workers (a) have lower rates of perfect base-rate neglect (i.e., completely ignoring the base rates), (b) provide more accurate posterior estimates, and (c) adjust their estimates more in response to changes in the base rates. We observe no such difference for nonmedical workers. We conduct a number of robustness checks and consider possible mechanisms, such as education, job or survey attrition, selectivity into medical professions, and experience with false positives. Our results suggests that on-the-job experience mitigates, but does not eliminate, base-rate neglect. This paper was accepted by Lauren Cohen, finance.

Introduction
The strong association between obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been empirically validated, yet traditional measures like the Body Mass Index (BMI) fail to accurately assess the extent of obesity due to CKD’s characteristics, such as reduced muscle mass and increased visceral fat. This study investigates the association between CKD and several anthropometric indices, including A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Body Roundness Index (BRI), Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), and the Conicity Index (C-index), to determine their predictive capabilities.

Methods
Based on the datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009–2018, weighted multivariable regression analyses were carried out to examine the independent relationship between two anthropometric indices and CKD. Also, subgroup analyses, restricted cubic spline regression (RCS), and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were conducted for further data analyses.

Results
A total of 24,162 participants were enrolled in this study. After adjusting for confounding factors, ABSI, BRI, WHtR, and the C-index were significantly associated with an increased risk of CKD, while BMI was not. Height showed a protective effect against CKD. ABSI and the C-index demonstrated the highest areas under the curve (AUCs), indicating superior predictive capabilities compared to traditional measures like BMI and waist circumference (WC). Subgroup analyses revealed significant interactions between the anthropometric indices and factors such as age, disease status, dietary intake, and physical activity levels.

Conclusions
This study highlights the significant associations between various anthropometric indices (including ABSI, BRI, WHtR, and C-index) and the risk of CKD. ABSI and the C-index demonstrated the strongest predictive capabilities for CKD, with the highest AUC values.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
AA2024 is widely employed within the aerospace sector; nevertheless, its susceptibility to pitting upon exposure to chloride ions presents a notable challenge. This investigation proposes an in-situ co-precipitation technique for effectively sealing the anodic oxide layer on the AA2024 substrate by nickel–aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDH) conversion coating. Given the lack of reported data concerning the correlation between the nucleation/growth behavior and the anti-corrosion performance of NiAl-LDH coatings, the current research aimed to investigate the effect of synthesis conditions including temperature and pH on the morphology and nucleation of LDH nanoplatelets, as well as the corrosion resistance of prepared coatings. Field-emission SEM, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, electrochemical measurements, Raman, FT-IR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were utilized to study the behavior of coatings. The results indicated that the prolonged nucleation/growth stage of synthesized NiAl-LDH nanoplatelets at pH 7.5 improves the electrochemical performance through providing a compact LDH coating.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The present study covers aloe vera biodiesel (AVBD) production from the extracted aloe vera (AV) oil followed by their performance and emission study in the presence of SiO2 additive with diesel engine (DE). The maximum biodiesel yield of 94 % was obtained with catalyst dose (1.4 g), Methanol/Oil ratio (1:4), Time (120 min) and Temperature (60 °C). The effect of AVBD and fossil diesel (FD) based blending mixtures (BM) containing 20 % BD with variable concentration of SiO2 (0–100 ppm) has been used in the DE performance study. Five different BM containing 0, 25, 50, 75 & 100 ppm SiO2 named as BM0, BM25 BM50, BM75, and BM100 respectively have been tested in DE. The prepared fuels have been tested on DE in terms of BTE, BSFC, EGT. Emissions study in terms of CO, CO2, HC, and NOx concentration in the flue gas. The results reveal that for BM100, BTE and EGT increased by 14.73  and 11.96 % compared to BM0, but BSFC decreased by 14.25 %. Emissions such as HC and CO decreased by 26.38  and 25 %. But CO2 and NOx increased by 9.8  and 46.15 % for BM100 compared to FD. Overall, the presence of SiO2 in the BM increases the DE performance with enhanced emission characteristics.
Approximate synthesis for LUT count reduction via probabilistic error propagation
Authors: Schlögl Thomas , Keszocze Oliver 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Approximate computing is an fast developing area for resource-efficient and fast designs that trades off computational accuracy with non-functional aspects such as delay, energy requirements or area. It can be used for applications where it is acceptable to compute inaccurate results such as image processing. A lot of work has been published on approximate synthesis for ASICs. As FPGAs are becoming more prevalent, approximation techniques for this technology should be developed. Lookup tables are a scarce resource on FPGAs. Consequently, we present and evaluate multiple approaches for reducing the number of lookup tables required to implement a given design on an FPGA. Our approaches work by removing either wires or entire lookup tables from a lookup table network. We can show that our approach is faster than related work while removing a comparable number of lookup tables (more in most cases).
Enhanced terahertz magneto-plasmonic effect enabled by epsilon-near-zero iron slot antennas

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Terahertz magneto-plasmonics plays a crucial role in platforms for isolation and sensing applications, operating at terahertz frequencies. In spite of recent efforts to enhance magneto-optic effects using metasurfaces, the mechanism for optimizing these effects remains unclear in the terahertz regime. Here we investigate terahertz magneto-optic effects using 100 nm-thick iron slot antennas with varying widths, ranging from 20 µm to 300 nm. Interestingly, as the width of slot antenna decreases, this enhancement peaks around 1 µm, after which the effect diminishes for smaller widths. Based on the effective medium theory, the slot antennas exhibit a maximum Faraday rotation angle near the epsilon-near-zero region. Although the field enhancements in the slot become stronger with the sub-micron widths, the magneto-optic effect may decrease with increasing effective dielectric constant due to gap plasmon effects in the sub-micron region. Our findings provide essential criteria for designing ferromagnetic metasurfaces with enhanced Faraday rotations at terahertz frequencies.

The role of striatum in controlling waiting during reactive and self-timed behaviors

Published: February 2025

The ability to wait before responding is crucial for many cognitive functions, including reaction time tasks, where one must resist premature actions before the stimulus and respond quickly once the stimulus is presented. However, the brain regions governing waiting remain unclear. Using localized excitotoxic lesions, we investigated the roles of the motor cortex (MO) and sensorimotor dorsolateral striatum (DLS) in male rats performing a conditioned lever release task with variable delays. Neural activity in both MO and DLS showed similar firing patterns during waiting and responding periods. However, only bilateral DLS lesions caused a sustained increase in premature (anticipatory) responses, whereas bilateral MO lesions primarily prolonged reaction times. In a self-timing version of the task, where rats held a lever for a fixed delay before release, DLS lesions caused a leftward shift in response timing, leading to persistently greater premature responses. These waiting deficits were accompanied by reduced motor vigor, such as slower reward-orienting locomotion. Our findings underscore the critical role of the sensorimotor striatum in regulating waiting behavior in timing-related behaviors.Significant StatementWaiting is essential for the temporal control of actions, as many cognitive behaviors—whether stimulus-driven or internally planned—require withholding a response until the appropriate time. However, the neural substrates of waiting remain less understood. Using targeted lesions, we identified the dorsolateral striatum as a crucial region for waiting in both reaction time and self-timing tasks. Lesions in this area caused a persistent increase in premature responses across tasks. In contrast, motor cortex lesions, despite its neurons showing similar activity patterns to the striatum during waiting, did not result in a lasting increase in premature responses; instead, they led to a long-term increase in reaction time.
ФИЗИЧЕСКОЕ МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ВНЕДРЕНИЯ КЛИНОВИДНЫХ ИНДЕНТЕРОВ В ГОРНЫЕ ПОРОДЫ В СТАТИЧЕСКИХ И ДИНАМИЧЕСКИХ ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАХ
Authors: ШЕР Е.Н. 
Published: February 2025

Исследования по определению силы сопротивления внедрению клиновидных индентеров в статических и динамических экспериментах проводились на образцах из оргстекла и мрамора. В статических экспериментах фиксировалась зависимость силы сопротивления внедрению клина от заглубления. Динамические испытания осуществлялись с использованием струнного гравитационного копра. Исследовалась динамика внедрения падающего массивного клина в образец из оргстекла. Сила сопротивления внедрению определялась с помощью акселерометра, установленного на клине. Использование оргстекла в качестве модельного материала позволило установить форму и размеры магистральных трещин, образующихся в среде при внедрении клина. Полученные экспериментальные данные о силе сопротивления внедрению клина и размере образующейся магистральной трещины сравнивались с теоретическими оценками этих величин. Сравнение показало хорошее их соответствие в статических экспериментах на образцах из оргстекла. В динамических экспериментах теоретические оценки силы внедрения оказались меньше экспериментальных максимально на 25 % при хорошем соответствии размеров магистральных трещин.
The static and dynamic wedge indentation resistance tests involved plexiglass and marble samples. The static tests recorded the indentation resistance force as function of penetration depth. The dynamic tests included a rope gravity drop hammer. The tests focused on the dynamics of penetration of a dropping massive wedge into a plexiglass sample. The indentation resistance was determined using an accelerometer mounted on the wedge. Plexiglass as a model material allowed finding the shape and size of the main cracks generated by wedge indentation. The test data on the wedge indentation resistance and on the main crack size were compared with the theoretical values. The comparison showed a good agreement of theory and static experiments with plexiglass samples. In the dynamic tests, the theoretical indentation resistance appeared to be less than the test values by 25% at the most, at a good agreement between the sizes of the main cracks.

При изучении геодинамического состояния углепородного массива на шахтах Донбасса используется сложный суммарный сигнал, возникающий на земной поверхности при отработке угольных пластов. Поиск закономерностей в геологическом отклике массива на прохождение в нем сейсмических волн строится на основных физических принципах теории упругости: зависимости энергетических показателей сигнала от близости источника колебаний и зависимости скоростей продольных волн от плотности среды. Рассмотрены результаты сейсмического мониторинга на шахтных полях Донецко-Макеевского района Донбасса. Проведено сопоставление энергетических и спектральных характеристик сигналов с геодинамическими процессами и параметрами геологического разреза. Установлена прямая пропорциональная зависимость между суммарной мощностью трещиноватых пород и комплексным параметром, включающим азимут одной из компонент сейсмических волн. Исследование спектров сложного сигнала показывают, что их частотные характеристики позволяют дифференцировать участки максимального разуплотнения и уплотнения углепородного массива и в конечном итоге оконтурить зоны влияния разломов, являющихся участками аномального скопления метана.
The geodynamic research of coal-rock mass in mines in the Donbas uses composite seismic signals which appear on ground surface during coal mining. The search of regular patterns in geological response of rock mass to seismic waves is based on the main physical principles of elasticity: dependence of the signal energy on the proximity to the vibration source and dependence of P-wave velocity on the density of the medium. The authors of the article discuss the results of seismic monitoring in the mine fields in the Donets-Makeevka region of the Donbas. The energy and spectrum characteristics of seismic signals are correlated with the geodynamic processes and with the geological section parameters. The direct proportional dependence is found between the total thickness of jointed rock mass and an integrated parameter including azimuth of any component of seismic waves. The analysis of spectra of composite signals shows that their frequency characteristics allow differentiating areas of maximal softening and compaction in coal-rock mass and eventually enable delineating faulting influence zones which are the anomalous accumulations of methane.

The authors describe the methodological approach to formation of geotechnical systems of deep open pit mines with regard to transient processes. Parameters and figures of subsystems of a geotechnical system, and their elements have a great number of interconnections and undergo changes within the space of life of an open pit. Their formation is considered as a set of stable functioning periods and transient processes. The terminological paradigm of structure, components and parameters of the geotechnical system of an open pit mine is described in the context of the open pit mine transport. The concept of adaptation of the technology and equipment subsystems during transient processes is presented as a mechanism of optimal functioning of the geotechnical system. The provision of their dynamic equilibrium is illustrated. Optimization of transportation as the most expensive process in open pit mining is based on integration of computer modeling techniques: geometrical, process simulation and economic mathematical. The key features of pitwall stability estimates in substantiation of the geotechnical system parameters are discussed. The approach to optimization of rock mass preparation by blasting on the basis of real-time adjustment of physical and mechanical parameters of rocks and rock mass data is described.

The analysis of rock flow patterns under the cross-effect of contiguous faces uses the 3D discrete element method to reproduce ore drawing processes in underground mining at the Khibiny apatite-nepheline deposit. The study of ore drawing modes revealed the mechanisms of loss formation, as well as the rational designs of structural components of a mining systems and ore draw planograms. The numerical modeling results were verified during in-situ experimental blasting and sublevel stoping in different geological and geotechnical conditions in mines of the Kola Division of APATIT. A conception of sublevel stoping modeling is developed, and the guidelines are proposed for rating ore losses and dilution in underground apatite-nepheline ore mining. The efficiency of the reagent is proved.
