Analysis of the elasticity of demand for bread by Marina Lolić Čipčić, Doris Cvitković

“…The range of the calculated coefficients of price elasticity of demand is significantly higher when the campaign is introduced, in other words, the introduction of the pricing campaign reduced the sensitivity of customers to price changes in the short term, i.e. after the end of the pricing campaign sales increase despite the return of prices to the levels that preceded the campaign. …”

The Fungi-specific histone Acetyltransferase Rtt109 mediates morphogenesis, Aflatoxin synthesis and pathogenicity in Aspergillus flavus by acetylating H3K9 by Ruilin Sun, Meifang Wen, Lianghuan Wu, Huahui Lan, Jun Yuan, Shihua Wang

“…The amount of aflatoxins synthesized by △rtt109 in the PDB liquid medium was significantly decreased We also found that the △rtt109 strain was extremely sensitive to DNA damage stress. Through the maize seed infection experiment, we found that the growth of △rtt109 on the surface of affected corn was largely reduced, and the amount of aerial mycelium decreased significantly, which was consistent with the results on the artificial medium. …”

Ultrasound Measured Depth of Pelvic Free Fluid Correlates Well with Blood Loss Volume in Patients with Ectopic Pregnancy by Shuai Tang, Qing Zhou, Yuelun Zhang, Lin Chen, Xuerong Yu, Yanming Zhang, Zhenhong Qi, Yu Xia, Yuguang Huang

“…We employed 800 ml as the cut-off point of the haemorrhage and further set it to 1000 ml and 1200 ml in the sensitivity analysis. Results. The mean pelvic free fluid depths measured by TVS and TAS were 4.45 ± 2.15 cm and 4.45 ± 2.56 cm in the haemorrhage ≥800 ml group, while they were 2.48 ± 1.51 cm and 2.55 ± 1.19 cm in <800 ml group. …”

Background-induced forces from dark relics by Sergio Barbosa, Sylvain Fichet

“…For homogeneous distributions — analogous to cosmic neutrinos, all the background-induced forces remain, unlike the quantum ones, exponentially unsuppressed at large distance, implying that large scale fifth force experiments are highly sensitive to dark relics. Moreover at zero mass the forces from dark bosons are generically enhanced with respect to their quantum counterpart due to Bose-Einstein distribution. …”

Prior Information Shapes Perceptual Confidence by Luca Tarasi, Margherita Covelli, Chiara Tabarelli de Fatis, Vincenzo Romei

“…First, we replicate previous findings, demonstrating that decisional priors impact decision criteria but not task sensitivity. Secondly, we reveal the strong effect that prior expectations exert on type-2 decisions, with this influence being moderated by a congruency effect between the given prior, the actual stimulus presented, and the provided response. …”

Overcoming Data Scarcity in Wind Power Forecasting: A Deep Learning Approach With Bidirectional Generative Adversarial Network and Neighborhood Search PSO Algorithm by Shiyu Liu, Fei Chen, Zhendong Liu, Hongyan Qiao

“…During the prediction stage, SAM is designed to obtain a new input matrix for weight allocation before BiGRU, enhancing its sensitivity to critical input information. Furthermore, to prevent SAM-BiGRU from succumbing to local optima, the Dense layer is optimized by the NSPSO algorithm to improve the prediction accuracy. …”

GIS-based multi-criteria decision making for identifying rainwater harvesting sites by Waqed H. Hassan, Karrar Mahdi, Zahraa K. Kadhim

“…The results indicated that the optimum location (very high suitability) for RWH is mostly in middle regions of the study area, covering 286 km2 (13%), while for the other categories, high suitability is at 23% (498 km2), medium suitability at 29% (636 km2), low suitability at 21% (462 km2), and very low suitability at 14% (305 km2). Sensitivity analysis was used to identify the relative importance of the parameters and determine how each of the nine criteria influences the optimal RWH sites. …”
