Arithmetic-Like Reasoning in Wild Vervet Monkeys: A Demonstration of Cost-Benefit Calculation in Foraging by Sayaka Tsutsumi, Tomokazu Ushitani, Kazuo Fujita

“…., “(2−1)−1”), though the results became less evident. This suggests that vervet monkeys are capable of spontaneously deploying mental manipulations of numerosity for cost-benefit calculation of foraging but that the extent of such capacity varies among individuals. …”

Structural, Morphological and Thermal Properties of Kenaf Microcrystalline Cellulose/Poly (Butylene Adipate-Co-Terephthalate) Films for Packaging Applications by Aatikah Meraj, Ahmad Safwan Ismail, Mohammad Jawaid

“…The uniform dispersion of MCC within the PBAT matrix significantly contributes to improved thermal stability, as evidenced by delayed degradation, and enhanced heat resistance. SEM makes it evident that addition of MCC to PBAT influences the surface morphology, with an optimal range promoting mechanical adherence through roughness. …”

Altered cortical network dynamics during observing and preparing action in patients with corticobasal syndrome by Marius Krösche, Christian J. Hartmann, Markus Butz, Alfons Schnitzler, Jan Hirschmann

“…We analyzed spectral power modulations at the source level.During action observation, event-related beta power (13-30 Hz) suppression was weaker in CBS patients compared to controls. This reduction was evident bilaterally in superior parietal, primary motor, premotor and inferior frontal cortex. …”
