This article examines three congeneric lizards from the southeastern United States (Plestiodon fasciatus, P. inexpectatus, and P. laticeps) and hypothesizes that interspecific differences in metabolic temperature sensitivity locally segregates them across their total range.

Article from a panel held at the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) 2019 pre-conference held on October 19, 2019 in Melbourne, Australia. The panelists discussed cybersecurity challenges and provided an assessment of the cybersecurity issues related to open access and big data.

Article on a comparison of density functional theory with single- and multireference correlation consistent composite approaches (ccCA).

This article discusses performance of the correlation consistent composite approach for transition states.

This article presents a consolidated review of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) as an efficient neural coding scheme with the ability to model early visual and auditory neural processing.

This article studies special infinite iterated function systems derived from complex continued fraction expansions with restricted entries.

In this article the density uniformity and mechanical properties of bamboo bundle veneers were systematically evaluated by the combination of light transmittance and mechanical stiffness. It was found that the number of broomings, dippings, and high-temperature heat treatments had different effects on the bamboo bundle veneers. On this basis, the uniformity of the density and mechanical properties of the bamboo scrimber (BS) that underwent hybrid paving, and the bamboo bundle laminated veneer lumber (BLVL), were analyzed.

Article asserts that visual imagery is one of the most important methods of communicating with consumers, but scholars have generally neglected the role of different forms of visual imagery (representational and abstract). The authors demonstrate that prevention-focused versus promotion-focused mindsets guide the interpretation of meanings conveyed by representational versus abstract visual imagery as a nonverbal means to achieve regulatory fit.

This article evaluates the effects of enforced overexpression of two known G protein-coupled receptors in two phenotypically distinct breast cancer cell lines.

Article states it is the first global report on sustainable packaging innovation in the fashion sector using data-mining to gather a sample of 400 international fashion brands that advertise sustainable packaging solution across five continents. The report discusses the sustainability of the packaging of these fashion brands, testing the validity of their claims of sustainable packaging.

Article describes how psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 125 million people worldwide. The goal of the authors' study is to derive a powerful predictive model for psoriasis disease based on only routine hospital tests.
