Investigating the transfer of physical stimuli to the dreamed body: A comparative study of muscular, vestibular, and haptic stimulation on dream incorporation

The relationship between the dreamed body and the physical body remains an open question in sleep and dream research. This study examined whether somatosensory stimulation applied during REM sleep modulates the corresponding dream content under controlled conditions. Using a with...

Scheduling algorithms for time-dependent V-shaped processing times with agreeable slopes around a common ideal time

Abstract We study a single-machine problem with time-dependent processing times following a V-shape around a common ideal time. The slopes are under an agreeableness condition and can be asymmetric and job-specific. Its application lies in production with a moving assembly line,...

Hybrid vigor and outbreeding depression after 100 years of replicate introduction of Caucasian beech to European forests

Abstract Hybridization between closely related forest tree species is a major concern for assisted migration decisions. Historical introductions, such as the repeated introduction of Caucasian beech ( Fagus hohenackeriana ) into European beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) forests over 100...
