Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

The performance of techniques for estimating the number of eligible signatories to a large petition on the basis of a sample of signatures : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Statistics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2002 The New Zealand Citizens' Initiated Referenda Act, 1993, states that if a petition signed by at least 10 percent of eligible electors is presented to the House of Representatives, then parliament is required to hold an indicative referendum on the ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Though prior studies have explored the effects of firms' social media marketing activities on customer engagement, the dynamics characterizing this association in bottom‐of‐the‐pyramid (BoP) markets remain tenuous, exposing a critical gap. Addressing this gap, we develop and test a model assessing (a) the effects of firms' sustainable social ...

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.It is a challenge to improve the selectivity of high‐denticity ligands for Mg2+ over Ca2+. We show that in aryl‐alkynyl derivatives of APTRA, electron‐withdrawing substituents lower the binding affinity for Ca2+ more than Mg2+, making the ligand more selective for Mg2+.

Convergence of a collocation scheme for a retarded potential integral equation [PDF]
, 2003 Time domain boundary integral formulations of transient scattering problems involve retarded potential integral equations (RPIEs). Solving such equations numerically is both complicated and computationally intensive, and numerical methods often prove to ...

Developing interactive animations as a learning tool for work integrated learning
The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The role of field education for social work students is fundamental to linking students' theory to practice. Field education refers to the practical component of educational programmes where students gain hands‐on experience in their field of study.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Three sets of strength data were selected, including hydrostatic pressure independent within the brittle region (HPI‐B), hydrostatic pressure dependent within the brittle region (HPD‐B), and hydrostatic pressure dependent within the brittle–ductile region (HPD‐BD). For HPI type, the failure envelope within the deviatoric plane remains constant.

Ecography, EarlyView.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Alternating knots with unknotting number one [PDF]
, 2014 We prove that if an alternating knot has unknotting number one, then there exists an unknotting crossing in any alternating diagram. This is done by showing that the obstruction to unknotting number one developed by Greene in his work on alternating 3 ...
