Weber’s Law as the emergent phenomenon of choices based on global inhibition by Marcin Penconek

“…Weber’s Law states that the ability to recognize the difference in intensity values is proportional to the reference intensity. The law is often generalized to the ratio principle which states that the proportionality also holds above the discrimination threshold. …”

Cohesión social y espacio de aparición: el papel de los espectadores en el concepto de ciudadanía de Hannah Arendt by Alejandro Mesa Arango, Ruth Elena Quiroz Posada

“…El artículo parte de consideraciones generales sobre el concepto de ciudadanía en Arendt a fin de adentrar al lector en el espacio de aparición, compartido por actores, pero sobre todo por espectadores, cuya preponderancia sobre lo social cristaliza en la trama plural de historias tejidas acerca de los hechos en el espacio común en que se aparecen unos a otros, equivalente al “entre”, base del ejercicio de la ciudadanía con sus consecuentes implicaciones para el concepto mismo y para los planes y programas emergentes de educación para la ciudadanía y de formación ciudadana.…”

Marie Corelli, Wormwood, and the Diversity of Decadence by Jessica DeCoux

“…Indeed, Corelli’s novel Wormwood is generally read as an anti-Decadent creed, or at the very least a novel which disingenuously castigates Decadence while titillating readers with themes and tropes “co-opted” from works of that genre.In fact, Wormwood is so often read in these terms because it eludes easy interpretation, a quality that marks it as a distinctly Decadent text. …”

Accommodation: a cognitive heuristic for background information by Misha-Laura Müller

“…As for the accommodation of presupposition, it is defined as a process by which the listener updates – also at minimal costs – the presupposed information whenever it is not mutually shared. Accommodation is generally considered to be a voluntary process (cf. von Fintel 2000), which may be inhibited when information is problematic or contradicts the listener’s prior beliefs.The aim of this paper is to challenge the idea that accommodation operates only on traditional presuppositional triggers (Beaver 2001). …”

Modeling and analysis of taeniasis and cysticercosis transmission dynamics in humans, pigs and cattle by Joshua, A. Mwasunda, Jacob I, Irunde, Damian, Kajunguri, Dmitry, Kuznetsov

“…In this case, other parameters with negative sensitivity indices such as death rate of taenia eggs and proportions of unconsumed infected beef and pork can be considered for disease control. Generally, to control the diseases, more efforts should be made directed to reducing the number of humans who have taeniasis and defecate in the open environment. …”

Bipartite Diametrical Graphs of Diameter 4 and Extreme Orders by Salah Al-Addasi, Hasan Al-Ezeh

“…For a bipartite diametrical graph of diameter 4 and partite sets 𝑈 and 𝑊, where 2𝑚=|𝑈|≤|𝑊|, we prove that 2𝑚 is a sharp upper bound of |𝑊| and construct an 𝑆-graph 𝐺(2𝑚,2𝑚) in which this upper bound is attained, this graph can be viewed as a generalization of the Rhombic Dodecahedron. Then we show that for any 𝑚≥2, the graph 𝐺(2𝑚,2𝑚) is the unique (up to isomorphism) bipartite diametrical graph of diameter 4 and partite sets of cardinalities 2𝑚 and 2𝑚, and hence in particular, for 𝑚=3, the graph 𝐺(6,8) which is just the Rhombic Dodecahedron is the unique (up to isomorphism) bipartite diametrical graph of such a diameter and cardinalities of partite sets. …”

Enhanced Lightweight Quantum Key Distribution Protocol for Improved Efficiency and Security by Ashutosh Bhatia, Sainath Bitragunta, Kamlesh Tiwari

“…While the focus of this work is on the BB84 protocol, these optimizations are also directly applicable to a broader class of Discrete-Variable QKD (DV-QKD) protocols, such as six-state, B92, and E91, which share a fundamentally similar post-processing structure. This generality highlights the modularity and adaptability of the proposed methods across diverse QKD implementations. …”
