Duration effects on detection cues in simultaneous masking: Analysis using decision variable correlationa).

Experiments involving the detection of a tone presented in noise form the basis of psychophysical estimates of auditory frequency selectivity. These estimates are central to theories of hearing and to models/algorithms for hearing aid fitting, automatic speech recognition, and digital audio compression. Despite widespread application of tone-in-noise experiments, cues used by listeners to detect the tone are debated.

Search for a Neutral Gauge Boson with Nonuniversal Fermion Couplings in Vector Boson Fusion Processes in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV.

The first search for a heavy neutral spin-1 gauge boson (Z^{'}) with nonuniversal fermion couplings produced via vector boson fusion processes and decaying to tau leptons or W bosons is presented. The analysis is performed using LHC data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, collected from 2016 to 2018 with the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}. The data are consistent with the standard model predictions.

Growth Patterns in Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome: Findings from the North American Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Registry.

Objective: To characterize growth patterns in individuals with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) in North America by generating SDS-specific growth curves and assessing the impact of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and growth hormone (GH) on growth.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 127 subjects with confirmed biallelic Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome mutations enrolled on the North American SDS Registry. Height-for-age, weight-for-age, and body mass index (BMI)-for-age Z-scores were analyzed and compared with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization reference populations.

Centres of rotation and osteological constraints on caudal ranges of motion in the sauropod dinosaur .

Archosaur tails are important appendages, not only for their biomechanical function but also for being behavioural tools that help the animal communicate and interact with its environment. Until recently, tails have been neglected in biomechanical analyses and were considered as a stiff (sometimes independent) unit; however, the tail's role in movement is now increasingly being appreciated. In this work, we present detailed analyses of the ranges of motion of the amphicoelous anterior caudal series MB.
