description: Throughout our species history, humans have created pictures. The resulting picture record reveals an overwhelming preference for depicting things with minds. This preference suggests that pictures capture something of the mind that is significant to us, albeit at reduced potency. Here, we show that abstraction dims the perceived mind, even within the same picture. In a series of experiments, people were perceived as more real, and higher in both Agency (ability to do) and Experience (ability to feel), when they were presented as pictures than when they were presented as pictures of pictures. This pattern persisted across different tasks and even when comparators were matched for identity and image size. Viewers spontaneously discriminated between different levels of abstraction during eye tracking and were less willing to share money with a more abstracted person in a dictator game. Given that mind perception underpins moral judgement, our findings suggest that depicted persons will receive greater or lesser ethical consideration, depending on the level of abstraction.

description: The application of green chemistry for the synthesis of nanoparticles is said to be environmentally friendly and cost efficient. The paper reports on the cell anti-proliferative activity of Pechuel-loeschea leubnitziae, synthesis of silver nanoparticles using P. leubnitziae and characterization. The UV–vis spectroscopy confirmed presence of a peak at 400 nm, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of peaks from 700-4000 cm−1 correlating to AgNPs. Presence of silver, carbon and oxygen was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy showed a uniform spherical particle in the size of 100 nm, and scanning electron microscope showed spherical particles at a magnification of 100 µm. The extracts and the synthesized AgNPs were tested for cytotoxicity and anti-cancer activity against the Vero and U87 glioma cell lines. The results for both cell lines indicated that dichloromethane extract and AgNPs were cytotoxic and had potential anti-cancer properties.

description: The significant inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity observed in breast cancer patients presents an ongoing challenge that impedes accurate disease characterization and classification, thereby affecting precise patient stratification. Breast cancer subtyping methods, including immunohistochemistry (IHC) and PAM50 gene expression profiling, play a significant role in addressing this challenge. Our primary objective is to measure the predictive accuracy of intermediate fusion techniques utilizing SNF or RWR, while refining and characterizing existing breast cancer subtypes.
Incertezza di misura ed incertezza intrinseca del misurando

description: In the paper, the concept of intrinsic measurement uncertainty, which has been recently introduced in an Italian standard, is discussed.
Accounting for that aspect, a probabilistic framework is introduced, providing an interpretation of the uncertainty range, usually associated to the measurement results, closer to the concept of probability distribution than to that of confidence interval. Relations between the quoted trend in metrological standards and the statistical approach to measurement errors are also addressed.

 General Distribution: Species of Central and Western Palearctic distribution, introduced in USA and Uruguay (Borowski and Węgrzynowicz 2007; Liu et al. 2016; Nardi and Mifsud 2015; Samin et al. 2015).
 Distribution in Turkey: Widespread. The data presented here constitute the first record of this species in a vineyard in Elaziğ (Hoşköy).
 Larval Host Plants: Polyphagous species on Annonaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae, Moraceae, Oleaceae, Punicaceae, Solanaceae, Tamaricaceae, and Vitaceae (Liu et al. 2016).
 Notes. The species was obtained from branches of the Ağin white variety (Ağin beyazi), in particular those resulting from pruning of the previous years. In the Mediterranean region, A. bimaculatus develops on dying or dead Vitis spp. (Moleas 1988; Nardi and Mifsud 2015), but it can occasionally attack healthy plants (Moleas 1988).

Year: 2013

description: The present note considers recent developments on the use of various transformations of a general autoregressive-distributed lag (AD) model for estimation of long run multipliers. We observe that Bardsen (1989) and Banerjee, Galbraith and Dolado (1990) ECM transformations do not provide an efficient research strategy since they do not provide the near-orthogonality of regressors and a direct test of long-run proportionality or homogeneity hypothesis. Our main point here is that there is no need in searching for other ECM generalizations since the Hendry, Pagan and Sargan (1984) ECM transformation provides a real efficient research strategy; this form does not impose any restriction to the AD model, but it provides a direct test of the homogeneity hypothesis and the near-orthogonality of regressors. Moreover, we show that this form is particularly convenient for estimation of long-run multipliers and of their variances. Finally we suggest a way to overcome Wickens and Breusch (1988) criticism to the ECM transformation.

description: New cytotoxic mononuclear Pt(II) coordination complexes of ligands {hydrazinecarboxamide (L1H) and hydrazinecarbothioamide (L2H) of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde} have been synthesized. Free ligands, their metal complexes, and metal nanoparticles have been characterized based on elemental analysis, melting point, and molecular weight determinations, magnetic measurements, SEM, IR, 1H NMR, and UV–Visible spectra. Square planar geometry has been proposed to the complexes. The ligands and their complexes exhibit antimicrobial effects against various strains of bacteria and fungi. Platinum(II) nanoparticles were prepared by using green technique. The gel electrophoresis clearly exhibits that the metal complexes along with the ligands show cleavage activity on DNA of Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922). The newly synthesized complexes manifested significant in vitro cytotoxicity against human MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cancer cell line with cell death mainly caused by apoptosis. Further, nanoparticles of Pt complex exhibited MCF-7 cell multiplication through induction of apoptotic cell death.

The gendered pandemic : The implications of COVID-19 for work and family
Creators: name: Yavorsky, Jill E.
name: Qian, Yue

Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2023

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly all aspects of society since its onset in early 2020. In addition to infecting and taking the lives of millions of global citizens, the pandemic has fundamentally changed family and work patterns. The pandemic and associated mitigation measures increased unemployment rates, amplified health risks for essential workers required to work on-site, and led to unprecedented rates of telecommuting. Additionally, due to school/daycare closures and social distancing, many parents lost access to institutional and informal childcare support during the COVID-19 crisis. Such losses in childcare support significantly impacted the paid and unpaid labor of parents, particularly of mothers. In this article, we synthesize recent research on pandemic-related changes to work and family in the United States. Applying an intersectionality lens, we discuss the gendered implications of these changes. Because gender inequality in family and work are connected, COVID-19 has, in many cases, deepened pre-existing gender inequalities in both realms.

description: Geometric Entropic Dynamics (GED) is a tensor-based framework that models motion not as a result of physical forces, but as geodesics through informational space shaped by entropy gradients. This foundational paper introduces the complete theory and validates it through synthetic and real-world experiments.

This work includes:

A full tensor formalism based on the Fisher information metric

Simulations of agent motion under static and dynamic entropy fields

Benchmark comparisons against reinforcement learning and A* methods

Empirical applications using softmax/GPT-based entropy maps

An appendix with detailed derivations of entropy-induced curvature

GED provides a unified view of inference, decision, and adaptation—extending classical mechanics into the informational domain. It is especially suited for systems where uncertainty is fundamental: from AI to cognitive science.

Gli indici di asimmetria e di curtosi di K.Pearson per la media campionaria

Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2013

description: It is known that the distribution of the sample mean tends to a normal distribution as  the sample  size n increases—under quite general conditions—in case of sampling both with replacement and without replacement.  A simple criterion, usually applied, to gauge the
approach to such limit distribution, is to examine the behaviour of K.Pearson's asymmetry and kurtosis indexes. First of all we have reformulated Pearson's indexes as ratios between quantities  expressed in the same unit measure of the observed variable; next we have examined their behaviour, as n increases, in the case of sampling (a) with replacement, and (b) out replacement. The most interesting case, i.e. sampling without replacement, has been roughly investigated, by sampling from several asymmetric populations; in all cases the approach to " normal " values appears much faster for the kurtosis index than for the asymmetric index. Moreover, some paradoxical results concerning the asymmetry of the distribution of the sample mean have been pointed out.

description: Designing sol-gel synthesis of stable oxide nanostructures are one among the few key steps in simplifying the synthesis strategies for mass scale production of such nanomaterials. Herein, low temperature, CTAB based sol-gel technique has been adopted for the development of iron and cobalt tungstate nanostructures as they are one among the potential oxide nanostructures. As synthesized nanoparticles possess fine particle size in polycrystalline nature with good thermal stability and magnetic properties. The procedure adopted produced near-pure materials with no noticeable binary oxide formation and other impurities. These results may lead to promising applications
Inference procedures based on the polar coordinates of the empirical characteristic function

Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna

description: A general procedure of parametric estimation is proposed for distributions having characteristic function with polar coordinates in closed form. The procedure generalizes the method of Koutrouvelis (1982a) for estimating the parameters in the special case of Cauchy distributions. The resulting estimators are asymptotically equivalent to the estimators proposed by Feuerverger and McDunnough (1981b) and serve as a basis for chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests. For symmetric families the employment of polar coordinates of the empirical characteristic function is shown to have definite advantages in both estimation and testing.

Alcune relazioni generali tra funzioni descrittive degli effetti di un piano di campionamento per attributi nel controllo della qualità
Creators: name: Iacobini, A.
Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2013

description: In this paper the author proposes to determine some general relationships linking the functions that express the effectiveness of a sampling plan in lot acceptance sampling. The result is obtained through the introduction of a function which provides the expected number of units, to be drawn from a lot of given quality, with reference to accepted lots only. This function, together with the OC function, appears in the expression of the ASN, ATI and AOQ functions, which provide the economic design of a sampling plan. In addition, the author defines two functions by introducing some costs per unit of the inspection, substitution and utilization of defective items. The first one expresses the producer's expected gain from the application of a sampling plan to replace one hundred per cent inspection of lots, the second one expresses the consumer's expected gain from the application of a sampling plan to replace the acceptance of lots without inspection. For whichever type of sampling plan, single, double, multiple or sequential, it is sufficient to determine the form of the first function mentioned in the opening paragraph and the OC function, to express the remaining functions. Some examples are provided to clarify the proposed procedure. Of particular importance is the application in the case of sequential sampling plans where, through the use of some results related to random walks with two absorbing barriers, it is possible to obtain approximate expressions of all the above functions.

Couplage OTEC/SWAC

description: La technologie de conversion de l'énergie thermique des océans (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion ou OTEC) utilise les eaux en surface et en profondeur des océans pour produire de l'électricité. Il s'agit d'un système thermodynamique utilisant un Cycle Organique de Rankine (ORC) ouvert ou fermé, fonctionnant respectivement soit avec de l'eau de mer, soit avec un autre fluide de travail. En raison de la faible différence de température entre les eaux de surface et les eaux profondes (environ 20-23 $^{\circ}$C), le rendement thermodynamique idéal d'un tel cycle est assez faible, autour de 7 \%. Pour explorer le potentiel de cette technologie, un prototype à terre OTEC, de 14 kWe, a été développé au laboratoire PIMENT à l'île de la Réunion afin de tester différents types d'échangeurs de chaleur. Cet article présente dans un premier temps la modélisation d'une centrale OTEC utilisant l'ammoniac comme fluide de travail. Les résultats de simulation de ce modèle sont ensuite comparés aux données expérimentales issues du prototype à terre du laboratoire PIMENT puis à d'autres résultats issus de la littérature scientifique pour valider le changement d'échelle. Les résultats obtenus par le modèle sur certaines variables comme les températures d'eau chaude et froide en sortie de cycle ou la puissance produite à la turbine sont proches de ceux attendus avec des écarts inférieurs à 0,15 $^{\circ}$C pour les températures et inférieurs à 4 \% pour les puissances. Le couplage en série d'un OTEC et d'un système de climatisation par eau de mer profonde (SWAC) est également étudié. Cette étude s'est basée sur le cas réel du SWAC de l'hôtel The Brando sur l'atoll de Tetiaroa en Polynésie Française. L'objectif est de voir si ce couplage OTEC/SWAC peut rendre l'ensemble de l'installation autonome en électricité. Les résultats montrent que l'OTEC permet de fournir 50 \% de l'électricité nécessaire au SWAC avec la conduite d'eau de mer actuelle. En guise de perspectives, il a été vu qu'en augmentant le débit d'eau de mer, ce qui impliquerait un redimensionnement des conduites de puisage et de rejet, l'autonomie de l'installation est envisageable tout en gardant des températures d'eau froide en sortie assez basses pour être exploitables dans un système SWAC.

description: In this paper a model is proposed to express a particular relationship between Poisson random variables. Various properties of this model are investigated, including the derivation of the moments and some particularly interesting regression functions. Moreover, it is shown that the model is a member of the exponential family and is expressed in canonical form. Finally the method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate both canonical and original parameters. The estimators are studied, their properties are examined and their asymptotic distribution is obtained.

Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2021

description: While differences among donors has long challenged meeting quality standards for the production of blood components for transfusion, only recently has the molecular basis for many of these differences become understood. This review article will examine our current understanding of the molecular differences that impact the quality of red blood cells (RBC), platelets, and plasma components. Factors affecting RBC quality include cytoskeletal elements and membrane proteins associated with the oxidative response as well as known enzyme polymorphisms and hemoglobin variants. Donor age and health status may also be important. Platelet quality is impacted by variables that are less well understood, but that include platelet storage sensitive metabolic parameters, responsiveness to agonists accumulating in storage containers and factors affecting the maintenance of pH. An increased understanding of these variables can be used to improve the quality of blood components for transfusion by using donor management algorithms based on a donors individual molecular and genetic profile.

description: Die globalen Ernährungssysteme sind im Wandel begriffen. Ein wesentlicher Treiber ist dabei die weltweit zunehmende Urbanisierung. Sie verstärkt die räumliche Entkopplung von Lebensmittelproduktion und -konsum, sowie die damit einhergehenden ökologischen und sozio-ökonomischen Auswirkungen. Urbane Ernährungsstile sind weltweit geprägt durch einen höheren und damit ressourcenintensiveren pro Kopf Konsum an Lebensmitteln und gehen häufig mit ungesünderen Ernährungsstilen einher. Eine stärkere räumliche Verknüpfung von Produktion und Konsum von Nahrungsmitteln - also eine stärkere Regionalisierung des Ernährungssystems - ist nicht nur mit zahlreichen Chancen für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung des Stadt-Land-Nexus verbunden, sondern bringt auch weitere sozio-ökonomische Vorteile mit sich.

description: Global food systems are changing. A major driver is the globally increasing urbanization. It reinforces the decoupling of food production and consumption, including its ecological and socio-economic consequences. A higher per capita food consumption in cities increase the pressure on natural resources and often goes hand in hand with unhealthier food styles. A stronger spatial link between food production and consumption - i.e. a stronger regionalisation of the food system - is not only associated with numerous opportunities for the sustainable development of the urban-rural Nexus, but also brings other socio-economic advantages.

description: Cet article traite le développement d'un modèle numérique multiphysique pour étudier les phénomènes de transfert de chaleur et de masse ainsi que le gonflement lors de la cuisson d'un gâteau contenu dans un moule. L'objectif de cette étude est de fournir un outil numérique efficace, validé expérimentalement, pour une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes conduisant au produit final désiré. Dans cette approche, le milieu est supposé être poreux déformable contenant trois phases : solide (pâte), liquide (eau) et gaz. La phase gazeuse comprend deux espèces, l'eau et le dioxyde de carbone (libéré par l'agent de levage). En se basant sur des équations régissant le transport de chaleur et de masse et sous quelques hypothèses (milieu homogène, équilibre thermodynamique local, phase gazeuse supposée être un mélange de gaz parfaits...), le problème consiste à résoudre un système de cinq équations aux dérivées partielles couplées. Les variables d'état sont la température, la teneur en eau, la pression totale des gaz, la porosité et le déplacement. Le gonflement de la pâte causé par l'augmentation de la pression totale du gaz est prédit par un modèle viscoélastique. Parallèlement à l'approche numérique, des essais expérimentaux sont réalisés sur un four pilote au sein du laboratoire. Dans ce contexte, un dispositif expérimental a été développé afin d'acquérir en continu les températures, les pertes en eau et d'appréhender correctement les conditions aux limites. La déformation du gâteau est également suivie par une caméra. Les résultats numériques sont comparés aux données expérimentales et analysés. Différentes conditions de fonctionnement sont testées pour vérifier la robustesse des prédictions.

description: 1. A reduction in crude protein (CP) in feed for broiler chickens necessitates elevated free amino acid (AA) levels to meet the requirement of each AA. This study investigated adaptations following a change to diets with increasing free AA concentrations and possible reasons for the limitation caused by the inclusion of more free AA. 2. Male Ross 308 broiler hatchlings received a starter diet (164 g CP/kg containing 80 g/kg soy protein isolate (SPI)) until d 7. From d 7–22, birds received a diet almost identical to the starter diet or two other diets, where 50% or 100% of digestible AA in SPI were substituted with a free AA mixture. Birds were allocated to metabolism units located in the same barn to determine performance (n = 7 units) and blood traits (n = 14 birds). Total excreta collection was performed on d 7–8, 8–9, 9–10, 11–12, 14–15 and 21–22. Blood samples were collected on d 7, 8, 9, 11, 14 and 21. 3. Average daily weight gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) was unaffected at 50% AA substitution but decreased at 100% AA substitution on d 7–22 (p ≤ 0.001). The 100% substitution led to a decline in ADG and ADFI consistently on all days (p ≤ 0.037) except on d 11–12. A 50% AA substitution resulted in lower ADFI on d 7–8 and 14–15 (p ≤ 0.032). Nitrogen utilisation efficiency (NUE) was on a level of ~ 0.74 and was only affected by treatment up to d 11–12 (p ≤ 0.008). Concentrations of 10, 9, 8, 10 and 4 plasma free AA were affected on d 8, 9, 11, 14 and 21, respectively (p ≤ 0.037). 4. Following a change to diets containing high levels of free AA, NUE and free AA concentrations in the circulation became more balanced within 3 to 7 d. The results suggested that peptide-bound and free AA did not cause different NUE, particularly 3 and 7 d after the diet change.

description: Steady state conditions have often been imposed on many Markovian systems. In analysing such systems heterogeneous groups are lumped together; for example repeaters in the educational system are treated just like regular students who often pass at first attempt These conditions have serious implications on the use and estimation of transition probabilities in the Markov analysis. This paper examines some special transition probabilities and discusses how and why they must be properly articulated in order that the ensuing analysis lead to acceptable results.

description: The purpose of this study is to gain insights into the practices that emerge at the community and school level to promote change and to understand the underlying values at play in local educational practice compared to and inside the larger structure of national or state level educational planning. The phenomenological approach to this study focuses on the lived experience in the provision, monitoring and receiving of educational services in the rural Gambian context. Attitudes and perceptions are explored, divorced from assumptions about universal educational goals. This provides a descriptive, rather than evaluative, record of the relationship and meaning that supplemental education has in the daily lives of those it affects.
Something is lost, something is found: Book use at the library shelves
Creators: name: Buchanan, George

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper investigates the life of books on physical library shelves. Most existing data on the use of library books uses logs to quantify loans, or user interviews to obtain insights into their use. We deploy a new specialised technique, photographing library shelves systematically over a week-long period, and noting changes to the positions of individual books, and movement over each shelf as a whole. Through this indirect observation, we demonstrate the use of shelved books within, rather than on leaving, the library. We reveal the first insight into within-library book use, and demonstrate that in-library use appears to be more common and over a longer period than previous research suggests.
