Reducing bias in auditory duration reproduction by integrating the reproduced signal [PDF]

, 2013
Duration estimation is known to be far from veridical and to differ for sensory estimates and motor reproduction. To investigate how these differential estimates are integrated for estimating or reproducing a duration and to examine sensorimotor biases ...

Complexity of the Basic Reproduction Number (R0)

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
The basic reproduction number (R0), also called the basic reproduction ratio or rate or the basic reproductive rate, is an epidemiologic metric used to describe the contagiousness or transmissibility of infectious agents.

Estimating the effective reproduction number of the 2019-nCoV in China

medRxiv, 2020
We estimate the effective reproduction number for 2019-nCoV based on the daily reported cases from China CDC. The results indicate that 2019-nCoV has a higher effective reproduction number than SARS with a comparable fatality rate.

Role of zinc in female reproduction

Biology of Reproduction, 2021
Zinc is a critical component in a number of conserved processes that regulate female germ cell growth, fertility, and pregnancy. During follicle development, a sufficient intracellular concentration of zinc in the oocyte maintains meiotic arrest at ...

Self-reproduction in k-inflation [PDF]

, 2006
We study cosmological self-reproduction in models of inflation driven by a scalar field $\phi$ with a noncanonical kinetic term ($k$-inflation). We develop a general criterion for the existence of attractors and establish conditions selecting a class of $

Metabolic disorders associated with early menopause in the female population of Eastern Siberia: results of a cross-sectional study

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2021
Background. Menopause is an independent predictor of the development of metabolic syndrome, in the pathogenesis of which insulin resistance plays a leading role. Early menopause occurs in 5 % of women and, according to several studies, is associated with

A New Framework and Software to Estimate Time-Varying Reproduction Numbers During Epidemics

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2013
The quantification of transmissibility during epidemics is essential to designing and adjusting public health responses. Transmissibility can be measured by the reproduction number R, the average number of secondary cases caused by an infected individual.

The Importance of Leptin to Reproduction.

Endocrinology, 2020
A healthy nutritional state is required for all aspects of reproduction and signaled by the adipokine leptin. Leptin acts in a relatively narrow concentration range; too much or too little will compromise fertility.

Disembodiment: Reproduction, Transcription, And Trace [PDF]

, 2018
This article poses the question, what is so great about the body? Recent scholarship has emphasized the concept of an embodied cognition and reminded us of the significance of embodiment in musical performance.

To what extent does photoperiod affect cattle reproduction? Clinical perspectives of melatonin administration [PDF]

, 2020
The seasonality of reproduction in most mammals is dictated by photoperiod, temperature and nutrition. Melatonin, mainly synthesized in the pineal gland, is generally accepted as the active mediator of photoperiod responses including reproduction.
