Psy-Flex: A contextually sensitive measure of psychological flexibility

A Measure of Decision Flexibility

We propose a decision-analytical approach to comparing the flexibility of decision sit­ uations from the perspective of a decision­ maker who exhibits constant risk-aversion over a monetary value modeL Our approach is simple yet seems to be consistent with a va­ riety of flexibility concepts, including robust and adaptive alternatives. We try to com­ pensate within the model for uncertainty tha...

CABS-flex predictions of protein flexibility compared with NMR ensembles

MOTIVATION Identification of flexible regions of protein structures is important for understanding of their biological functions. Recently, we have developed a fast approach for predicting protein structure fluctuations from a single protein model: the CABS-flex. CABS-flex was shown to be an efficient alternative to conventional all-atom molecular dynamics (MD). In this work, we evaluate CABS-f...

A New Behavioral Measure of Cognitive Flexibility

Individual differences in cognitive flexibility may underlie a variety of different user behaviors, but a lack of effective measurement tools has limited the predictive and descriptive potential of cognitive flexibility in humancomputer interaction applications. This study presents a new computerized measure of cognitive flexibility, and then provides evidence for convergent validity. Our findi...

A sensitive measure of repression

esearchers have proposed that complex embryonic patterns are generated by multiple enhancers that respond differentially to gradients of repressor proteins. In a recent report, Dorothy Clyde, Dmitri Papatsenko, Stephen Small, and colleagues (New York University, New York, NY) combine genetics and bioinformatics to demonstrate that this model may be essentially correct. The pattern of the fly em...
