The arousal level of words presented in a Stroop task was found to affect their interference on the required naming of the words' color. Based on a dual-processes approach, we propose that there are two aspects to activation: arousal and subjective significance. Arousal is crucial for automatic processing. Subjective significance is specific to controlled processing. Based on this conceptual model, we predicted that arousal would enhance interference in a Stroop task, as attention would be allocated ...

Nanopore sequencers are emerging as promising new platforms for high-throughput sequencing. As with other technologies, sequencer errors pose a major challenge for their effective use. In this paper, we present a novel information theoretic analysis of the impact of insertion-deletion (indel) errors in nanopore sequencers. In particular, we consider the following problems: 1) for given indel error characteristics and rate, what is the probability of accurate reconstruction as a function of sequence ...

We review various features of the statistics of random paths on graphs. The relationship between path statistics and Quantum Mechanics (QM) leads to two canonical ways of defining random walk on a graph, which have different statistics and hence different entropies. Generic random walk (GRW) is in correspondence with the field-theoretical formalism, whereas maximal entropy random walk (MERW), introduced by us in a recent work, is motivated by the Feynman path-integral formulation of QM. GRW maximizes ...

We define a new class of random walk processes which maximize entropy. This maximal entropy random walk is equivalent to generic random walk if it takes place on a regular lattice, but it is not if the underlying lattice is irregular. In particular, we consider a lattice with weak dilution. We show that the stationary probability of finding a particle performing maximal entropy random walk localizes in the largest nearly spherical region of the lattice which is free of defects. This localization ...

The γ-ray imager telescope IBIS, on board the INTEGRAL satellite, features a coded mask aperture and two detector arrays. The first detector array (ISGRI) is an assembly of 16 384 CdTe detectors (4×4 mm2 large, 2 mm thick) operating at room temperature under 100 V bias. ISGRI covers the lower part (20 keV–1 MeV) of the IBIS energy range (20 keV–10 MeV). The polycell is the basic component of the ISGRI detector array. It is made of 16 CdTe pixels and their front-end electronics. In order to improve the ...

Equivocal categories (III, IV, V) of the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytology (BSRTC) are characterized by high variability of the estimated risk of malignancy. The aim of the study was to analyze the reproducibility of classification of nodules into an equivocal category and the frequency of malignancy (FoM) observed in such categories.Five experienced cytopathologists from three centers (A, B, C) independently performed reclassification of smears obtained from 213 thyroid nodules with equivocal ...

In this manuscript, the authors aim to explore sustainable consumer behaviour during shopping at a self-service store with fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). An innovative combination of virtual reality (VR) equipment and an electroencephalogram (EEG) was used in the study. The objective of the study was to gather information as to how consumers make shopping decisions when buying fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). The studies conducted so far have used either VR or EEG. To the best knowledge of the ...

In countries with industrialized agriculture, the contribution of fossil energy equals or exceeds the energy provided to society in food. Poland is one of the countries which, in the absence of its own sufficient oil and gas resources, is forced to import these fossil fuels in order to benefit from modern solutions in the field of food production and distribution. This situation poses a serious threat to food security if there is a prolonged shortage of energy from such sources. Using the example ...

The mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) has been recently shown to decrease reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. It is also known that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups might confer different coupling properties, resulting in different ROS levels. We hypothesized that potentially functional TFAM variants could influence PD risk depending on haplogroup background. To test this we assessed the role of six TFAM variants on PD risk in 326 PD patients and 316 controls, and correlated it ...

Recent studies revealed that inflammatory processes might play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). We hypothesized that genetically determined differences in the immune response, especially in anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines production might influence the risk for the development and/or onset of sporadic PD. In the present study, we investigated the genetic polymorphisms of the IL10 (-1082 and -519) and TNF (-308) genes in relation to the risk of PD, and their associations ...

The etiology of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) is not well established. Recent studies revealed that inflammatory processes might also play an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. We hypothesized that genetically determined differences in the immune response, especially in anti-inflammatory cytokines production, might influence the risk of sporadic PD development and/or onset. To prove this hypothesis, two DNA polymorphisms at IL-10 promoter (-1082 and -519) were examined in sporadic PD patients. ...

Recent behavioral studies revealed an interesting phenomenon concerning the influence of affect on the interpretation of ambiguous stimuli. In a paradigm, where the participants' task was to read a word, remember its meaning for a while, and then choose one of two pictorial-alphabet-like graphical signs best representing the word sense, we observed that the decisions involving trials with reflective-originated verbal stimuli were performed significantly longer than decisions concerning other stimuli ( ...

Affective meaning of verbal stimuli was found to influence cognitive control as expressed in the Emotional Stroop Task (EST). Behavioral studies have shown that factors such as valence, arousal and emotional origin of reaction to stimuli associated with words can lead to lengthening of reaction latencies in EST. Moreover, electrophysiological studies have revealed that affective meaning altered amplitude of some components of evoked potentials recorded during EST, and that this alteration correlated ...

Low cost of these operations is often a high priority in order to increase transmission speed and reduce power usage. This requirement is crucial for battery-powered devices with limited resources, such as autonomous remote sensors or implants. Well-known and popular encryption techniques are frequently too expensive. This problem is on the increase as machine-to-machine communication and ...

Financial contagion refers to the spread of market turmoils, for example from one country or index to another country or another index. It is standardly assessed by modelling the evolution of the correlation matrix, for example of returns, usually after removing univariate dynamics with the GARCH model. However, significant events like crises visible in one financial market are usually reflected in other financial markets/countries simultaneously in several dimensions, i.e., in general, entire distributions ...

Such barcodes typically lack user friendly appearance and do not convey any visual significance to human observers. The proposed method addresses this problem ...
