Trust is known as a complex social-emotional concept and its formation is highly affected by non-verbal behavior. Social robots, as any other social entities, are supposed to maintain a level of trustworthiness during their interactions with humans. In this sense, we have examined the influence of a set of factors, including emotional representation, performing small talk and embodiment, on the...

It is quite common that guides are introduced to suppress the information spreading in modern society for different purposes. In this paper, an agent-based model is established to quantitatively analyze the impacts of suppressing guides on information spreading. We find that the spreading threshold depends on the attractiveness of the information and the topology of the social network with no s...

Expansions of simple DNA repeats account for more than two dozen hereditary disorders in humans (for recent reviews see Lenzmeier and Freudenreich, Jin and Warren, Parniewski and Staczek, Ranum and Day, Brown and Brown, Cummings and Zoghbi, Bowater and Wells, and Siyanova and Mirkin). Table 1 describes those diseases and their important genetic features. Although originally discovered expansion...

Mitochondrial RNAs in trypanosomes are post-transcriptionally altered by uridine insertion and deletion. The information for these RNA editing processes, which are essential for the production of functional messengers, is provided by small guide RNAs. This article discusses how features of partially edited RNAs, gRNAs and chimeric RNAs, in which a gRNA is covalently linked to an editing site of...

Et ce, par l’usage d’une palette diverse variantes linguistiques, se répartissant en sociolectes, idiolectes, régiolectes…, phénomène que certains cherche...

We report the discovery of the new gravitational lens system HE 0230−2130, a QSO at redshift z = 2.162 consisting of at least five distinct components. Three of these are clearly lensed images of the QSO, one is most likely the lensing galaxy, while for the fifth component the identity is unclear: It could be a fourth QSO image (if so, then highly reddened), or another intervening galaxy, or a ...
