Many of the decisions that people must make involve selections from arrays of identical options. The six studies presented explored people's preferences in two contexts: choosing one item from rows of identical items and choosing a route from a series of identical routes. The first three studies examined preferences for items in particular positions. Whether people were choosing a product from ...

Research has suggested that men are especially bothered by evidence of their partner's sexual infidelity, whereas women are troubled more by evidence of emotional infidelity. One evolutionary account {Buss, Larsen, Westen, & Semmelroth, 1992) argties that this is an innate difference, arising from men's need for paternity certainty and women, s need for male investment in their offspring. We su...

Visual short-term memory (VSTM) enables the representation and manipulation of information no longer present in the sensorium. VSTM storage has long been associated with sustained increases in univariate activity (eg, averaged single-neuron spike counts or fMRI activation levels) across a broad network of frontal and parietal cortical areas (for review, see D’Esposito and Postle, 2015). More re...

Three experiments tested whether the Implicit Association Test (IAT) is sensitive to the perceived accuracy of newly learned associations. In experiment 1, participants learned to associate positive or negative attributes with two novel groups. Participants in one condition were told that the attributes accurately described the groups; in a second condition, prior to learning, they were made aw...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the impact of Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) on Islamic Social Responsibility (ISR) by Commercial Banks in Indonesia. Secondary data were collected from annual reports 14 Indonesia 2010 2020, resulting 125 firm-year data. A panel regression was applied analyze The analysis results show that SSB age, cross-membership, and meeting frequency have a positive...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of emotion, personality, and social cognition have drawn much attention in recent years, with high-profile studies frequently reporting extremely high (e.g., >.8) correlations between brain activation and personality measures. We show that these correlations are higher than should be expected given the (evidently limited) reliability of both ...

•Detecting pathogenic variants in VNTRs is challenging due to poor read mappability•VNtyper detects VNTR the MUC1 gene using Kestrel algorithm•VNtyper improves ADTKD-MUC1 diagnosis by accurate genotyping of coding VNTR•Integration VNtyper with SRS panel testing identified new overlooked patients The human genome comprises approximately 3% tandem repeats variable length (VNTR), a few which have ...

The need for efficient and sustainable energy storage systems is becoming increasingly crucial as the world transitions toward renewable sources. However, traditional have limitations, such high costs, limited durability, low efficiency. Therefore, new innovative materials technologies, aerogels additive manufacturing, are being developed to address these challenges offer more effective solutio...

•A high-resolution coal market model develops regional insights into investment risks•By 2040, one-third of the current mining capacity risks becoming stranded assets•China benefits most, whereas Indonesia and Australia lose most from phase-out•Over 2.2 million jobs would suffer early mine closures in sustainable scenario The world spends almost half a trillion dollars per year on coal. This co...

Diethanolamine increased the incidence and multiplicity of liver tumors in the mouse following chronic exposure. Diethanolamine is known to inhibit cellular choline uptake. Since choline deficiency produces tumors in rodents, diethanolamine, through choline depletion, may result in tumor development in rodents. The potential for diethanolamine to function through this mode of action in humans i...
