The relative biologic effectiveness versus linear energy transfercurve as an output-input relation for linear cellular systems by Quoc T. Luu, Paul DuChateau

“…Despite being a simplified ''toy model,'' changes in the systems state parameters lead to model curves that are refutable in a modern molecular biology laboratory. …”

Can Effects of a Generalized Uncertainty Principle Appear in Compact Stars? by João Gabriel Galli Gimenez, Dimiter Hadjimichef, Peter Otto Hess, Marcelo Netz-Marzola, César A. Zen Vasconcellos

“…Assuming the quantum hadrodynamics <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>σ</mi><mo>−</mo><mi>ω</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> approach as a toy-model, due to its simplicity and structured description of neutron stars, we perform a preliminary analysis of GUP effects with a minimum spacetime length on these compact objects. …”

Minimal operational theories: classical theories with quantum features by Davide Rolino, Marco Erba, Alessandro Tosini, Paolo Perinotti

“…As a key example, we construct Minimal Strongly Causal Bilocal Classical Theory, a classical toy-theory that lacks incompatible measurements, preparation uncertainty relations, and is noncontextual (both Kochen–Specker and generalised), yet exhibits irreversibility of measurement disturbance, no-information without disturbance, and no-broadcasting. …”

Biology-Informed inverse problems for insect pests detection using pheromone sensors by Malou, Thibault, Parisey, Nicolas, Adamczyk-Chauvat, Katarzyna, Vergu, Elisabeta, Laroche, Béatrice, Calatayud, Paul-André, Lucas, Philippe, Labarthe, Simon

“…We benchmark the biological-informed penalty with other regularization terms such as Tikhonov, LASSO or composite penalties in a simplified toy model. We use classical comparison criteria, such as target reconstruction error, or Jaccard distance on pest presence-absence. …”

Effect of Core Stability Training based on Bobath Concept on Motor Function of Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy by Yaojin SUN, Xiaoqin ZHANG, Jian TANG, Xiaoke ZHAO, Ran HE

“…The observation group was given core stability training based on Bobath's concept on the basis of the control group, which mainly included static training (hip extension, hip, knee and ankle flexion, point support, bridge training, etc.) and dynamic training (paddling, trunk support, trunk rotation, chase toy etc.), one time a day, 80 min a time, six days a week, continuous treatment for three months. …”

A UV to X-Ray View of Soft Excess in Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei. I. Sample Selection and Spectral Profile by Shi-Jiang Chen, Jun-Xian Wang, Jia-Lai Kang, Wen-Yong Kang, Hao Sou, Teng Liu, Zhen-Yi Cai, Zhen-Bo Su

“…Remarkably, we show with simulations that a toy hybrid scenario, where both ionized disk reflection ( relxilllp , with all reflection parameters fixed at default values except for ionization of the disk) and warm corona ( compTT , with temperature fixed at 1 keV) contribute to the observed soft excess, can successfully reproduce the observed correlation. …”

Reading Under Observation: délire Lolita by Stéphane Vanderhaeghe

“…If Vladimir Nabokov’s narrator overtly plays with his readers, he too, whether he knows it or not, is being toyed with. Through a series of manipulations and “camouflages” the text turns the reading experience into a “camouflet,” questioning its very foundations, be they narrative, textual, temporal or structural.…”

Electricity and Static: Franklin and his British compatriots by Robert Mankin

“…The aim of the essay is to suggest that Franklin was neither a child of the British or European Enlightenment nor one of its toys. And though he may have been touted very generally as an inspiration, he was closer to a foreign force with which, intellectually as well as a politically, it had to contend. …”

“All shadow and silence in it” (3.1.247-48): Reticence in Measure for Measure by Denis Lagae-Devoldere

“…It seems that most critics have failed to notice that the silence at the close of the play is actually made palpable throughout the course of the dramatic action: the silence(s) surrounding the “open” ending makes manifest what has been hinted at and toyed with. The bed-trick, one of the play’s central episodes – in both senses of its plot-related importance and its significant structural position – may be construed as a powerful marker of the interplay between silence and discourse, redeployed in specific stage terms. …”
