Metacognition in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata): does impulsivity explain unnecessary looks in the tubes task? by Lorraine Subias, Noriko Katsu, Kazunori Yamada

“…Abstract Potential metacognitive abilities, such as monitoring and controlling cognitive processes, have been revealed in some primate species. In the tubes task, apes and macaques showed higher content-checking behavior when unaware of a reward’s location, but they also periodically inspected the tubes when aware, especially when a more appealing reward was involved. …”

Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor and Vascular Function by Muhiddin A. Ozkor, Arshed A. Quyyumi

“…Endothelial hyperpolarization is likely due to several factors that appear to be site and species specific. Experimental studies suggest that the contribution of the EDHFs increase as the vessel size decreases, with a predominance of EDHF activity in the resistance vessels, and a compensatory up-regulation of hyperpolarization in states characterized by reduced NO availability. …”

Analysis of amperometric biosensor utilizing synergistic substrates conversion: Akbari-Ganji's method by K. P. V. Preethi, H. Alotaibi, J. Visuvasam

“…The Akbari-Ganji's method (AGM) was used to calculate the semi-analytical expressions for species concentration and normalized current. For all possible values of the Thiele modulus, normalized surface concentration of the oxidized mediator, and normalized surface concentration of the substrate, a simple and approximate hyperbolic expression of concentrations of an oxidized mediator, substrate, and reduced mediator were derived. …”
