Deleting and sorting files is beneficial – But only when you fully let go by Kyra Göbel, Cornelia Niessen

“…However, following the concept of distributed cognition, related thoughts and insecurities also need to be addressed. Using a combination of controlled laboratory research (Think/No-Think paradigm) and an experience sampling approach (NLevel1 = 1,476, NLevel2 = 158), the present study examined effects of the interplay between sorting/deleting files and the ability to control thoughts on mental effort, task focus, and work performance. …”

Incomplete Lineage Sorting and Hybridization Statistics for Large-Scale Retroposon Insertion Data. by Andrej Kuritzin, Tabea Kischka, Jürgen Schmitz, Gennady Churakov

“…Fortunately, such misleading fixed cases are relatively rare but nevertheless, need to be considered. Here, we present novel, comprehensive statistical models applicable for (1) analyzing any pattern of rare genomic changes, (2) testing and differentiating conflicting phylogenetic reconstructions based on rare genomic changes caused by incomplete lineage sorting or/and ancestral hybridization, and (3) differentiating between search strategies involving genome information from one or several lineages. …”

Real-Time Caterpillar Detection and Tracking in Orchard Using YOLO-NAS Plus SORT by Sumesh Nair, Guo-Fong Hong, Chia-Wei Hsu, Chun-Yu Lin, Shean-Jen Chen

“…Detecting and tracking caterpillars in orchard environments is crucial for advancing precision agriculture but remains challenging due to occlusions, variable lighting, wind interference, and the need for precise small-object detection. This study presents a real-time deep learning approach that integrates the YOLO-NAS object detection model with the SORT tracking algorithm to overcome these challenges. …”

Incomplete lineage sorting and introgression among genera and species of Liliaceae tribe Tulipeae: insights from phylogenomics by Zhihui Zhang, Meizhen Wang, Zhaoping Yang, Hans Peter Comes, Xin Zhong, Ryan A. Folk, Yigang Song, Dana A. York, Kenneth M. Cameron, Pan Li

“…The genus, noted for its large genome, presents discordant relationships among Amana, Erythronium, and Tulipa, likely due to incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and/or reticulate evolution. Thus, phylogenomic approaches are needed to clarify these relationships and the conflicting signals within the tribe Tulipeae. …”
