Individual differences in people’s tendency to see bullshit statements such as Perceptual reality transcends subtle truth meaningful and possibly profound have become an active topic of research judgment decision making recent years. However, (psycho)linguistics has so far paid little attention the topic, despite its obvious appeal for language processing research. I present experiment that inv...

Various authors have placed information sharing at the core of successful collaborative problem solving and learning. In this paper we report analyses of an experimental study that bring the sufficiency of an information sharing account of collaboration into question. One treatment group achieved greater convergence and integration of information in their handling of a complex problem, yet this...

Integrating humour in games or designing humorous games can be challenging but rewarding. Contributing to practical knowledge of these contexts, we examine the role and value of humour in game character design. We begin with a brief review of main theories of humour. Next, we outline our methodology, describing steps taken to develop game design patterns on humour. From our investigation, we pr...

Background Hyperparathyroidism-Jaw Tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder bearing both a germline and a somatic CDC73 mutation (formerly known as HRPT2), which has been mapped to chromosome 1q25-q31. The association of jaw ossifying fibroma with primary hyperparathyroidisim (PHPT) is typical of HPT-JT. It may also include cystic and neoplastic renal abnormalities and uterine tumors....

Gap junctions are composed of proteins called connexins (Cx) and facilitate both ionic and biochemical modes of intercellular communication. In the lens, Cx46 and Cx50 provide the gap junctional coupling needed for homeostasis and growth. In mice, deletion of Cx46 produced severe cataracts, whereas knockout of Cx50 resulted in significantly reduced lens growth and milder cataracts. Genetic repl...

Phenomena of emergence of regular and chaotic fine structure (FS) in stimulated emission (SE) power spectra of an autonomous microwave phonon laser (phaser) have been revealed and investigated experimentally in pink ruby at liquid helium temperatures. The phenomenon of a selforganized bottleneck in evolution of the microwave acoustic FS lines has been observed by means of narrow-range phonon SE...

Abstract In the wake of studies targeting atherosclerotic plaques and searching for quantifiable variables that contribute additional information to therapeutic decision-making, plaque assessment using Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is emerging as a reproducible promising alternative. We used single Logiq S8 device (General Electric, Boston, Massachusetts, United States) with an 8.5-11MHz multif...

Abstract. This study deals with the redevelopment of buildings built in last decades Nineteenth century, a style that can be defined "post-modern". In those years, communication became an architectural theme superimposed and abstract by functional structural needs, "architectural elements" hyperbolic way respect to function. The result culture, interesting for research they narrate but incongru...
