Work engagement, impulsivity and, self-efficacy among Polish workers. Moderating role of impulsivity

Plos.org 

by Bohdan Rożnowski, Antoni Wontorczyk

The study proposes adding a new component to the Job Demands-Resources Theory, termed ’personal demands’. Impulsivity serves as an illustrative example of personal demands. A cross-sectional questionnaire was conducted and a total of 394 (Female = 59.6%) workers were surveyed. Standardized survey questionnaires were used in the study, i.e. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9), Life Roles Self-Efficacy Scale (LRSES) and UPPS-P Impulsive Behaviour Scale.

Sex and organ specific proteomic responses to vitamin C deficiency in the brain, heart, liver, and spleen of Gulo-/- mice

Plos.org 

by Lucie Aumailley, Michel Lebel

Recent advances in mass spectrometry have indicated that the water-soluble antioxidant vitamin C differentially modulates the abundance of various proteins in the hepatic tissue of female and male mice. In this study, we performed LC-MS/MS to identify and quantify proteins that correlate with serum vitamin C concentrations in the whole brain, heart, liver, and spleen tissues in mice deficient for the enzyme L-Gulonolactone oxidase required for vitamin C synthesis in mammals.

Quantitative investigation and intelligent forecasting of thermal conductivity in lime-modified red clay

Plos.org 

by Hongqi Wang, Dongwei Li, Zecheng Wang, Zhiwen Jia, Zhenhua Wang

This paper delves into the engineering applications of lime-stabilized red clay, a highly water-sensitive material, particularly in the context of the climatic conditions prevalent in the Dalian region. We systematically investigate the impact of water content, dry density, and freeze-thaw cycles (with a freezing temperature set at -10°C) on the thermal conductivity of stabilized soil, a crucial parameter for analyzing soil...

No evidence for a difference in Bayesian reasoning for egocentric versus allocentric spatial cognition

Plos.org 

by James Negen

Bayesian reasoning (i.e. prior integration, cue combination, and loss minimization) has emerged as a prominent model for some kinds of human perception and cognition. The major theoretical issue is that we do not yet have a robust way to predict when we will or will not observe Bayesian effects in human performance. Here we tested a proposed divide in terms of Bayesian reasoning for egocentric spatial cognition versus allocentric spatial cognition (self-centered versus world-centred). Читать дальше...

Bayesian polynomial neural networks and polynomial neural ordinary differential equations

Plos.org 

by Colby Fronk, Jaewoong Yun, Prashant Singh, Linda Petzold

Symbolic regression with polynomial neural networks and polynomial neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are two recent and powerful approaches for equation recovery of many science and engineering problems. However, these methods provide point estimates for the model parameters and are currently unable to accommodate noisy data. We address this challenge by developing and validating the following Bayesian inference methods... Читать дальше...

Compression-based inference of network motif sets

Plos.org 

by Alexis Bénichou, Jean-Baptiste Masson, Christian L. Vestergaard

Physical and functional constraints on biological networks lead to complex topological patterns across multiple scales in their organization. A particular type of higher-order network feature that has received considerable interest is network motifs, defined as statistically regular subgraphs. These may implement fundamental logical and computational circuits and are referred to as “building blocks of complex networks”. Their... Читать дальше...

De novo sensorimotor learning through reuse of movement components

Plos.org 

by George Gabriel, Faisal Mushtaq, J. Ryan Morehead

From tying one’s shoelaces to driving a car, complex skills involving the coordination of multiple muscles are common in everyday life; yet relatively little is known about how these skills are learned. Recent studies have shown that new sensorimotor skills involving re-mapping familiar body movements to unfamiliar outputs cannot be learned by adjusting pre-existing controllers, and that new task-specific controllers must instead be learned “de novo”.

A diel multi-tissue genome-scale metabolic model of Vitis vinifera

Plos.org 

by Marta Sampaio, Miguel Rocha, Oscar Dias

Vitis vinifera, also known as grapevine, is widely cultivated and commercialized, particularly to produce wine. As wine quality is directly linked to fruit quality, studying grapevine metabolism is important to understand the processes underlying grape composition. Genome-scale metabolic models (GSMMs) have been used for the study of plant metabolism and advances have been made, allowing the integration of omics datasets with GSMMs. On the other hand...
