Age differences in incidental learning of emotional information.

Previous research has consistently shown a positivity bias in old adults, with a preference for remembering positive information, primarily in tasks involving intentional learning, such as free recall. This study examined age-related differences in incidental learning of emotiona...

Dike‐Induced Earthquakes as Probes of the Local Stress Field Prior to the 1998 Eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise Volcano, La Réunion

Abstract Volcano‐tectonic (VT) earthquakes generated during dike propagation provide useful constraints on stress changes in volcanic systems. During the 1998 pre‐eruptive unrest at Piton de la Fournaise, ∼600 VT earthquakes were recorded. Using manually picked first‐motion polar...

Weak and strong memories are equally reactivated during counterfactual learning, but only weak memories are modified

Adaptively updating memories about familiar others is an important social skill. Here, we examined whether strong or weak social memories are more prone to updating when violated. Participants viewed well-known characters’ emotional reactions to food items either repeatedly or on...

Efficient Techniques for Low-Rank Tensor Approximation and Applications in Robust Object Detection

This paper introduces efficient randomized fixed-precision and single-pass algorithms for low-tubal-rank approximation of third-order tensors. The proposed fixed-precision algorithms are faster and more efficient than the existing algorithms for approximating the truncated tensor...

Strengthening the engagement of mass media stakeholders in community-based health promotion interventions - the Danish Project SoL

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold>: The potential positive effects of mass media stakeholders in health promotion have long been recognized. Health promotion interventions may benefit from exposure in mass media by attracting public attention and political support. M...

Extreme heat, supply chain risks and enterprise performance

This paper examines the impact of exposure to high temperatures on the performance of downstream enterprises. By constructing “supplier-customer” pairs during 2010-2019, we explore exogenous variation in temperature and find that high temperatures in suppliers' regions significan...

Sparsity of Quadratically Regularized Optimal Transport: Scalar Case

Abstract. The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem is empirically known to have sparse solutions: its optimal coupling [Formula: see text] has sparse support for small regularization parameter [Formula: see text], in contrast to entropic regularization whose soluti...

How Childhood Experiences in Nature Might Influence Adulthood Participation in Nature-Based Recreation

<title>Abstract</title> Participation in activities that occur in natural settings during childhood tends to influence the frequency with which an individual engages in nature-based recreation during adulthood, along with their perceptions of the natural environment in adulthood....

Machine learning for early prediction of preterm birth

Abstract Background Preterm birth (PTB), defined as delivery before 37 completed weeks of gestation, remains a major cause of neonatal mortality and long-term morbidity worldwide. Conventional risk assessment strategies, including cervical length measurement and biomarker-based s...

Learning models on rooted regular trees with majority update policy: Convergence and phase transition

Temporal co-occurrence in a community of subtropical Australian birds

Abstract With a view to creating a biodiversity baseline to monitor a rewilding effort, I estimated the community structure of birdlife in subtropical South-East Queensland, Australia. Community structure was derived from patterns of temporal species co-occurrence and principles...

Silent yet Not Deserted: Associations Between Ringer Modes, Mobile Phone Use, and Digital Stress

While digital disconnection and smartphone regulation have gained scholarly attention, little is known about phone setting customizations. Currently, there is inconsistent evidence on whether modifying ringer modes reduces actual smartphone use and digital stress. Some studies su...

Impermanent Loss Conditions: An Analysis of Decentralized Exchange Platforms

Decentralized exchanges are widely-used platforms for trading cryptoassets. The most fundamental and openly-accessible type of decentralized exchange is based on automated market makers (AMMs), where traders transact against asset reserves managed by smart contracts. These assets...

Logarithmic prismatic cohomology, motivic sheaves, and comparison theorems

Abstract We prove that (logarithmic) prismatic and (logarithmic) syntomic cohomology are representable in the category of logarithmic motives. As an application, we obtain Gysin maps for prismatic and syntomic cohomology, and we explicitly identify their cofibers. We also prove a...

Economic Conditions and Incarceration in the United States: Evidence from Missouri, 1850–1930

This paper investigates the relationship between economic conditions and incarceration in the postbellum United States. Leveraging unique administrative prison records in Missouri from 1850 to 1931 and the differential exposure to national agricultural price changes across counti...

Smash powers and traces on parametrized spectra: an application of rigidity

Abstract The bicategory of parametrized spectra has a remarkably rich structure. We can take traces in this bicategory, giving classical invariants that count fixed points. We can also take $$C_n$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>C</mm...

Polyhedral Clinching Auctions with a Single Sample

We address auctions in two-sided markets with budget-constrained buyers, a fundamental setting with important applications such as display advertising. Our goal is to design efficient mechanisms that satisfy dominant-strategy incentive compatibility, individual rationality, and b...

Efficient numerical method for reliable upper and lower bounds on homogenized parameters

A numerical procedure providing guaranteed two-sided bounds on the effective coefficients of elliptic partial differential operators is presented. The upper bounds are obtained in a standard manner through the variational formulation of the problem and by applying the finite elem...
