Are Emergent Abilities of Large Language Models a Mirage? [PDF]
Recent work claims that large language models display emergent abilities, abilities not present in smaller-scale models that are present in larger-scale models. What makes emergent abilities intriguing is two-fold: their sharpness, transitioning seemingly instantaneously from not present to present, and their unpredictability, appearing at seemingly ...

A longitudinal assessment of chronic periodontitis in Australian adults
Abstract Aim The study aimed to estimate the incidence/progression and reversal of chronic periodontitis and to identify factors associated with chronic periodontitis in Australian adults over a 12‐year period. Materials and Methods Data were obtained from the longitudinal component of the National Study of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) in 2004–2006, and ...

Change in masticatory ability with the implant restoration of second molars
Controversy exists as to whether missing second molars should be replaced to restore masticatory ability.The purpose of this study was to analyze the alteration in masticatory ability associated with the implant restoration of the second molar; the subjective effect of implant treatment on the participant was also assessed.Twenty-one individuals (13 ...

Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

Abstract The evolution of organisms can be studied through the lens of developmental systems, as the timing of development of morphological features is an important aspect to consider when studying a phenotype. Such data can be challenging to obtain in fossil amniotes owing to the scarcity of their fossil record. However, the numerous remains of Rancho
