EMOTION-III Model: A Theoretical Framework for Social Empathic Emotions in Autonomous Control Systems

In this article, a theoretical model of social empathic emotion is derived based on the principles of survival by extending the maximization of self-gains to include others as an extended-self. This extended-self model of optimization for survival provides the computational mechanisms in the optimization process to maximize self-gains without minimizing the gains (or maximizing losses) for the other individuals. Thus, it can resolve conflicts in a competitive environment, and change the social dynamics into a cooperative interaction instead.

Elevated CO2 increases energetic cost and ion movement in the marine fish intestine (open access)

Elevated CO2 increases energetic cost and ion movement in the marine fish intestine

Article describes study which aimed to gain resolution in assessing the energetic demand associated with acid-base regulation by examining ion movement and O2 consumption rates of isolated intestinal tissue from Gulf toadfish acclimated to control or 1900 μatm CO2 (projected for year 2300).
