Willing to wait: Anorexia nervosa symptomatology is associated with higher future orientation and reduced intertemporal discounting by Isabel Schuman, Jingyi Wang, Ian C. Ballard, Regina C. Lapate

“…These results were unrelated to subjective time perception and independent of mood and anxiety symptomatology. Collectively, these findings suggest that future-oriented cognition may be a cognitive mechanism underlying altered intertemporal decision making in anorexia nervosa.…”

Towards a Digital Transformation Hyper-Framework: The Essential Design Principles and Components of the Initial Prototype by Ana Perisic, Branko Perisic

“…To cope with the complexity, the digital transformation of cyber-physical and socio-technology systems demands the utilization of heterogeneous tailorable development environments with dynamic configuring ability and transparent integration of independently developed dedicated frameworks. The essential design principles and component-based architecting of the initial prototype of the digital transformation hyper-framework represent this research target. …”

Superconformal anomalies for string defects in six-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 0) SCFTs by Fabio Apruzzi, Noppadol Mekareeya, Brandon Robinson, Alessandro Tomasiello

“…Using a holographic description of these defects furnished by probe D4-branes in AdS7 solutions of ten-dimensional type IIA supergravity, we compute the two independent defect Weyl anomalies from the on-shell action for a spherical defect and defect sphere entanglement entropy. …”

High transmission in 120-degree sharp bends of inversion-symmetric and inversion-asymmetric photonic crystal waveguides by Wei Dai, Taiki Yoda, Yuto Moritake, Masaaki Ono, Eiichi Kuramochi, Masaya Notomi

“…In this study, we conduct a series of comparative numerical and experimental investigations of bend-transmission in various triangular PhCs with and without inversion symmetry and reveal that the high bend-transmission is solely determined by the domain-wall configuration and independent of the existence of the inversion symmetry. …”

An MCMC Approach to Bayesian Image Analysis in Fourier Space by Konstantinos Bakas, John Kornak, Hernando Ombao

“…One advantage of Fourier-based methods is that a large set of spatially correlated processes in image space can be represented via independent processes over Fourier space. A recent approach, Bayesian Image Analysis in Fourier Space (BIFS), introduced parameter functions to describe prior expectations about distributional parameters over Fourier space. …”

Metric-affine cosmological models and the inverse problem of the calculus of variations. Part II: Variational bootstrapping of the $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model by Ludovic Ducobu, Nicoleta Voicu

“…This setup is particularly appealing for the construction of modified theories of gravity, since one can take lessons from GR for an “educated guess” of the metric field equations; the field equations for the other fields are then fixed by the obtained Lagrangian (up to terms that are completely independent from the metric tensor). In the present paper, we apply variational bootstrapping to determine metric-affine models which are, in a variational sense, closest to the $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model of cosmology. …”
