Article Abstract
This study compared the event-related potentials elicited by single-digit addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems. With a delayed verification paradigm, 18 Chinese undergraduates were first asked to solve the arithmetic problems that were presented visually for 200 ms and, after 1.5 s, to judge whether a presented solution was correct or not. Results showed that, compared to addition and subtraction, multiplication elicited a greater N300 at the left frontal electrodes peaking around 320 ms (in the interval between 275 and 334 ms after the onset of the arithmetic problem). To control for the confounding effects of task difficulty and solution size, comparisons were further made between "large" addition problems (with sums between 11 and 17) and "small" multiplication problems (with products between 6 and 24). Similar results were obtained (i.e., a significant difference between addition and multiplication in the N300 component between 296 and 444 ms). Source analyses demonstrated that a single dipole in the left anterior brain areas could have contributed to the topographies of the difference waveforms ("multiplication-addition", "multiplication-subtraction", and "'small' multiplication-'large' addition"). These results are interpreted in terms of the greater reliance on phonological processing for the retrieval of multiplication facts than for the retrieval of addition and subtraction facts.

Revenge or collusion? An experiment on payoff subtraction and addition in team contests.

Group competition is prevalent in contemporary society. In this paper, we focus on the effects of payoff subtraction (revenge) and payoff addition (collusion) on expenditures in team competitions. Although theory predicts that the equilibrium of aggregate team contributions does not change, we find that competitive expenditures are indeed affected.

Aims: When exercise is prescribed, the new exercise could 'substitute' for pre-existing physical activity such that the net effect on energy expenditure is less than predicted. However, the impact of substitution has not been examined to date because of methodological spatiotemporal challenges. To overcome these challenges, we use mathematical modelling to examine the impact of substitution during prescribed exercise interventions.

Data Augmentation (DA) is a technique to increase the quantity and diversity of the training data, and by that alleviate overfitting and improve generalisation. However, standard DA produces synthetic data for augmentation with limited diversity. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) may unlock additional information in a dataset by generating synthetic samples having the appearance of real images.

Introduction: Maize is one of the first crops to benefit from heterosis, significantly enhancing commercial breeding. Despite extensive research, the molecular mechanisms of heterosis remain elusive.
Objectives: This study integrates a novel genetic framework with transcriptomic and phenotypic analyses to identify heterosis-related genes and uncover their regulatory mechanisms.
Standardized ileal amino acid digestibility estimates are not additive in extruded canine diets with an increasing inclusion of whole pulse flour ingredients.

The pet food industry currently formulates using crude protein (CP) and gross amino acid (AA) concentrations of individual ingredients as opposed to formulating on an AA standardized ileal digestibility (SID) basis, like in swine and poultry diets. In order to formulate on a SID basis, AA digestibility of individual ingredients must be additive when combined in a complete diet, but this assumption has not been evaluated in pet food. The objective of the present study was to determine if there is AA additivity in four extruded experimental diets using the AA SID estimates from the individual ingredients that were either taken from literature or determined using the cecectomized rooster.
