Abstract The idea that the present moment is in some sense experientially privileged has been used various arguments from presentness favour of existence an objective present. Roughly speaking, literature we find two different approaches. Either by having experience something are aware it as (perceptual presentness), or located our (locational presentness). While ways understanding can be to fo...

S ister chromatids are often reluctant to separate during mitosis. Germann et al. show that a protein involved in DNA replication and repair helps eliminate lingering connections that can hold sister chromatids together (1). Sister chromatids tangle almost every time a cell enters mitosis. Unless the cell releases these links, the structures can break or fail to separate properly. Two kinds of ...

This paper describes a study of the effects of mimicry and social praise when used by an artificial social agent. An experiment (N=50) is described which shows that social praise increases the perceived friendliness of a chat-robot, while, mimicry displaying matching behavior enhances the perceived intelligence of the robot. We advice designers to incorporate both mimicry and social praise in t...

Protrusion provides a prognosis H ow a cancer cell migrates across a 2D surface says little about its ability to move through a 3D matrix, Meyer et al. reveal, but measuring membrane protrusion can be much more informative. A metastasizing tumor cell moves through 3D tissues, yet, largely because they're easier to perform, most studies of cell migration are carried out on 2D surfaces. Meyer et ...
