Choices and affective reactions to negative life events: An averaging/summation analysis
Judgment and Decision Making, 2008 Three experiments investigated individuals’ preferences and affective reactions to negative life experiences. Participants had a more intense negative affective reaction when they were exposed to a highly negative life experience than when they were ...

On the average perception of perceived averages [PDF]
Education for Chemical Engineers, 2015 The Chemical Engineering curriculum at Polytechnique Montreal is structured to gradually provide more and more autonomy to the students. The third-year Unit Operations is taught using an outcomes-based approach and represents a turning point in the undergraduate curriculum where rubrics-based assessments overtake normative assessments.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Bayesian curve estimation by model averaging [PDF]
, 2003 A bayesian approach is used to estimate a nonparametric regression model. The main features of the procedure are, first, the functional form of the curve is approximated by a mixture of local polynomials by Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA); second, the ...

Prey-Taxis vs. An External Signal: Short-Wave Asymptotic and Stability Analysis
MathematicsWe consider two models of the predator–prey community with prey-taxis. Both models take into account the capability of the predators to respond to prey density gradients and also to one more signal, the production of which occurs independently of the ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Asymptotic integration of systems of two wave equations with small parameter
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2016 In this article we consider a hyperbolic system of two weakly nonlinear equations. Coefficients of the equations and initial conditions are periodical functions of the space variable.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Analysis of asymptotic for a model of nonlinear oscillations of the two string
Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2015 The mathematical model of two strings nonlinear oscillations is presented. To find uniformly valid in a long time interval asymptotic solution of the problem an averaging scheme is constructed.
