Multi-Representation of Symbolic and Nonsymbolic Numerical Magnitude in Chinese Number Processing

open access: yes, 2011
Numerical information can be conveyed by either symbolic or nonsymbolic representation. Some symbolic numerals can also be identified as nonsymbolic quanities defined by the number of lines (e.g., I, II, III in Roman and (sic), (sic), (sic) in Japanese ...

A Mechanistic Study of the Association Between Symbolic Approximate Arithmetic Performance and Basic Number Magnitude Processing Based on Task Difficulty

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Two types of number magnitude processing – semantic and spatial – are significantly correlated with children’s arithmetic performance. However, it remains unclear whether these abilities are independent predictors of symbolic approximate arithmetic ...

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

A Magnitude Effect in Temporal discounting with Hens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This study aimed to determine whether a magnitude effect could be obtained in temporal discounting with brown shaver hens. Subjects responded in a classic self-control situation for the choice between a smaller-sooner reward (1-s access to food, after a ...

Comparison of Psychophysical Methods for Brightness Scale: Magnitude Estimation and Magnitude Production

open access: yes, 2022
The psychophysical experimental methods affect the observer???s evaluation because of the bias error. Therefore, it is necessary to design experiments properly.

Development of a Possible General Magnitude System for Number and Space

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
There is strong evidence for a link between numerical and spatial processing. However, whether this association is based on a common general magnitude system is far from conclusive and the impact of development is not yet known.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Modeling Electoral Coordination: Parties and Legislative Lists in Uruguay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
During each electoral period, the strategic interaction between voters and political elites determines the number of viable candidates in a district. In this paper, we implement a hierarchical seemingly unrelated regression model to explain electoral ...

Delayed development of basic numerical skills in children with developmental dyscalculia

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology
Research suggests that children with developmental dyscalculia (DD) have deficits in basic numerical skills. However, there is conflicting evidence on whether basic numerical skills in children with DD are qualitatively different from those in typically ...

The speed of magnitude processing and executive functions in controlled and automatic number comparison in children: an electro-encephalography study

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2007
Background In the numerical Stroop paradigm (NSP) participants decide whether a digit is numerically or physically larger than another simultaneously presented digit. This paradigm is frequently used to assess the automatic number processing abilities of
