Individual and sex differences in frontloading behavior and approach- avoidance conflict preference predict addiction-like ethanol seeking in rats by Tanner A. McNamara, Hanyi Weng, Hsin Yu Liao, Rutsuko Ito

“…We found that female rats displayed more addiction-like phenotypes than males overall, and that frontloading patterns differed by sex, with females outdrinking males in the early part of access sessions (bingeing), but males strongly concentrating their lever pressing for ethanol in that period (onset skew). Multiple regression analyses revealed that bingeing was a strong positive predictor and onset skew a negative predictor of motivational breakpoint. …”

Non-Supersymmetric CS-Matter Theories with Known AdS Duals by Davide Forcella, Alberto Zaffaroni

“…The corresponding supergravity solution is obtained by changing sign to the four-form in the Freund-Rubin solution representing M2 branes (“skew-whiffing” transformation) and it is known to be stable. …”

Translation Invariant Spaces and Asymptotic Properties of Variational Equations by Adina Luminiţa Sasu, Bogdan Sasu

“…We give a complete description of the dichotomous behaviors of the most general case of skew-product flows, without any assumption concerning the flow, the cocycle or the splitting of the state space, our study being based only on the solvability of some associated control systems between certain function spaces. …”

A Numerical Scheme Based on an Immersed Boundary Method for Compressible Turbulent Flows with Shocks: Application to Two-Dimensional Flows around Cylinders by Shun Takahashi, Taku Nonomura, Kota Fukuda

“…The turbulent flow region is modeled by a second-order pseudo skew-symmetric form with minimum dissipation, while the monotone upstream-centered scheme for conservation laws (MUSCL) scheme is employed in the shock region. …”

Hexagons govern three-qubit contextuality by Metod Saniga, Frédéric Holweck, Colm Kelleher, Axel Muller, Alain Giorgetti, Henri de Boutray

“…We demonstrate this fascinating property first on the configuration comprising all 315 contexts of the space and then on doilies, both types of quadrics as well as on complements of skew-embedded hexagons. In connection with the last-mentioned case and elliptic quadrics we also conducted some experimental tests on a Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computer to substantiate our theoretical findings.…”

Properties and Applications of the Modified Kies–Lomax Distribution with Estimation Methods by Abdelaziz Alsubie

“…The MKL distribution, due to its flexibility, provides left-skewed, symmetrical, right-skewed, and reversed-J shaped densities and increasing, unimodal, decreasing, and bathtub hazard rate shapes. …”

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the Atrato slider, Trachemys medemi (Testudines, Emydidae) by Sebastián Cuadrado-Ríos, Mario Vargas-Ramírez, Christian Kehlmaier, Uwe Fritz

“…The genome composition is characterized by a positive AT skew (0.123) and a negative GC skew (-0.342). Phylogenetic analyses based on complete mitogenomes, which lack some Trachemys species, placed T. medemi as sister to T. venusta. …”

On hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution by M. E. Ghitany, S. A. Al-Awadhi, S. L. Kalla

“…It is shown that the hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution has moments of all positive orders, is overdispersed, skewed to the right, and leptokurtic. Also, a three-term recurrence relation for computing probabilities from the considered distribution is given. …”

Microscale total genomic DNA was used to explore the complete mitochondrial genomes of two biting midge species of the family Ceratopogonidae (Insecta: Diptera) by Xiaohong Jiang, Yao Xie, Qiongyou Liu

“…The nucleotide composition of these genomes was highly biased towards A + T nucleotides (78.15% and 78.25%), and the AT skews (-0.001894 and 0.011999), negative GC skews (-0.535714 and -0.217391), and codon usage were determined. …”
