Article Abstract

We study the domain ordering kinetics in d = 2 ferromagnets which corresponds to populated neuron activities with both long-ranged interactions, V(r) ∼ r-n and short-ranged interactions. We present the results from comprehensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for the nonconserved Ising model with n ≥ 2, interaction range considering near and far neighbors. Our model results could represent the long-ranged neuron kinetics (n ≤ 4) in consistent with the same dynamical behaviour of short-ranged case (n ≥ 4) at far below and near criticality. We found that emergence of fast and slow kinetics of long and short ranged case could imitate the formation of connections among near and distant neurons. The calculated characteristic length scale in long-ranged interaction is found to be n independent (L(t) ∼ t1/(n-2)), whereas short-ranged interaction follows L(t) ∼ t1/2 law and approximately preserve universality in domain kinetics. Further, we did the comparative study of phase ordering near the critical temperature which follows different behaviours of domain ordering near and far critical temperature but follows universal scaling law.

An analysis of behavioral characteristics and enrollment year variability in 47,444 dogs entering the Dog Aging Project from 2020 to 2023.

Understanding dog behavior, especially in the context of the human social environment, is critical to maintaining positive human-dog interactions and relationships. Furthermore, behavior can be an important indicator of health and welfare in companion dogs. Behavioral change can signal transitions in life stages, alert caretakers to potential illnesses or injuries, and is an important factor in understanding and measuring stress.

Age and Sex Effects on Cybersickness in Virtual Forklift Training: An Exploratory Study with Practical Mitigation Strategies.

Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA.

Occupational ApplicationsWe investigated the effects of age and sex on cybersickness susceptibility during Virtual Reality (VR)-based forklift training, using an order picker forklift truck consisting of basic and common forklift driving scenarios. Cybersickness occurrence was assessed using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) and analyzed with the survival analysis method. Our analysis indicated strong vulnerability among older adults yet no significant influence of biological sex on cybersickness susceptibility.

Introduction: Artificial intelligence tools show promise in supplementing traditional physician assistant education, particularly in developing clinical reasoning skills. However, limited research exists on custom Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) applications in physician assistant (PA) education. This study evaluated student experiences and perceptions of a custom GPT-based clinical reasoning tool.

Populations of the acidophilic purple nonsulfur bacterium were identified in two geographically distinct thermal areas in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, USA), as confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and detection of characteristic methoxylated ketocarotenoids. Microcosm-based carbon uptake assays where oxygenic photosynthesis was excluded via addition of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea yielded a light-driven dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) assimilation rate (7 ± 2 mg C g C h) comparable to those of highly productive algal mats in acidic hot springs, suggesting that may be performing photoautotrophy at the time of the assay. Rates of acetate assimilation were more than two orders of magnitude lower than DIC assimilation and did not differ between light and dark treatments, indicating photoheterotrophic use of acetate was not occurring, though photoheterotrophic assimilation of other organic compounds cannot be excluded.

Psychometric properties of the 12-item short form health survey version 2 among general Thai samples: a Rasch analysis.

Background: Although the 12-item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) is suitable for measuring health status in the general Thai population, it has been evaluated using classical test theory. Rasch analysis, however, offers a psychometric testing method that converts ordinal scales to interval-level data without breaching parametric assumptions. Thus, this study aimed to assess the measurement properties of Thai SF-12v2 and SF-6D items derived from it among the general Thai population.
