Professional physical scientists display tenacious teleological tendencies: Purpose-based reasoning as a cognitive default. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2013 Teleological explanations account for objects and events by reference to a functional consequence or purpose. Although they are popular in religion, they are unpopular in science: Physical scientists in particular explicitly reject them when explaining natural phenomena. However, prior research provides reasons to suspect that this explanatory form may

Distinct effects of reminding mortality and physical pain on the default-mode activity and activity underlying self-reflection [PDF]
Social Neuroscience, 2017 Behavioral research suggests that reminding both mortality and negative affect influences self-related thoughts. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we tested the hypothesis that reminders of mortality and physical pain decrease brain activity underlying self-related thoughts.

Embedded cracks in brittle solids induced by laser-medium interaction (3D-ILC)
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 The research of fracture mechanics is based on physical experiments, which mainly deal with the specimen containing cracks and defaults. Since surface cracks and penetrated cracks are relatively easy to make and observe, the theoretical study on fracture

Medial prefrontal default-mode hypoactivity affecting trait physical anhedonia in schizophrenia
Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, 2009 Anhedonia, as a deficit symptom, may be associated with default-mode hypofrontality in schizophrenia. To explore whether trait anhedonia in schizophrenia pertains to altered hypofrontal resting state brain function, resting state metabolic activities were compared and correlated with the Physical and Social Anhedonia Scale scores in 29 patients with ...

Low-Latency Masked Gadgets Robust against Physical Defaults with Application to Ascon
Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded SystemsLow-latency masked hardware implementations are known to be a difficult challenge. On the one hand, the propagation of glitches can falsify their independence assumption (that is required for security) and can only be stopped by registers.

Sovereign Default with Unobservable Physical Capital
Theoretical Economics LettersWe develop a model of sovereign default where borrowers’ physical capital is not observable by the lenders and therefore the bond price schedule does not depend on capital accumulation. Borrowers take decisions on consumption, investment in physical capital, international assets, and whether to honor previous debt contracts (thus having an option to ...
