Stable Causal Relationships Are Better Causal Relationships [PDF]

open access: yesCognitive Science, 2018
AbstractWe report three experiments investigating whether people's judgments about causal relationships are sensitive to the robustness orstabilityof such relationships across a range of background circumstances. In Experiment 1, we demonstrate that people are more willing to endorse causal and explanatory claims based on stable (as opposed to unstable)

DNA methylation and expression of MAPRE3 affect overall survival of early‐stage non‐small cell lung cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Both cg12821679MAPRE3 methylation and MAPRE3 expression are significantly associated with overall survival (OS) of non‐small cell lung cancer. Meanwhile, MAPRE3 expression significantly modified the effect of smoking cessation on OS. Smoking cessation benefits OS merely for patients with high MAPRE3 expression.

COSMIC EVIDENCE AND NATURAL-SCIENCE THEORIES [PDF]

open access: yesHum, 2008
Aspiration for discovering one necessary creature, who establishes visible and changeable cosmos, has existed in the early period of philosophical thinking. In philosophical tradition the most acknowledged way of determining existence of such creature

SIRT4 positively regulates autophagy via ULK1, but independently of HDAC6 and OPA1

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cells expressing SIRT4 (H161Y), a catalytically inactive mutant of the sirtuin SIRT4, fail to upregulate LC3B‐II and exhibit a reduced autophagic flux under stress conditions. Interestingly, SIRT4(H161Y) promotes phosphorylation of ULK1 at S638 and S758 that are associated with inhibition of autophagy initiation.

Detecting and tracking time-varying causality with applications to EEG data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper introduces a novel method called the ERR-Causality, or Error Reduction Ratio Causality test, that can be used to detect and track causal relationships between two signals using a new adaptive forward orthogonal least squares (Adaptive ...

On causality and superluminal behavior in classical field theories. Applications to k-essence theories and MOND-like theories of gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Field theories whose full action is Lorentz invariant (or diffeomorphism invariant) can exhibit superluminal behaviors through the breaking of local Lorentz invariance. Quantum induced superluminal velocities are well-known examples of this effect.

The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...

Attribution of Terrestrial Near‐Surface Wind Speed Changes Across China at a Centennial Scale

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Near‐surface wind speed (NSWS) over China shows multiple time‐scale changes at a centennial scale, but the contributions of internal variability (IV), anthropogenic forcing (ANT), and natural forcing (NAT) to those changes remain unknown.
