Background: Women are less physically active, report greater perceived barriers for exercise, and show higher levels of depressive symptoms.This contributes to high global disability.The relationship between perceived barriers for physical activity and depressive symptoms in women remains largely unexplored.The aims of this cross-sectional analysis
Changes in bacterial physiology necessarily precede cell death in response to antibiotics.Herein we investigate the early disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis as a marker for antibiotic response.Using a machine learning framework, we quantify the temporal information encoded in single-cell Ca2+ dynamics.We find Ca2+ dynamics distinguish kanamycin sensiti
The paper addresses the rationale of a process that produces artworks made by a swarm of robots.This process relies on the interaction, though the environment, of a set of robots designed to create spatiotemporal patterns from an initial homogeneous medium (the canvas).Inspired by social insect societies, the approach presented here exploits robot-
People are motivated to hold favorable attitudes about the systems on which they depend, so they justify (i.e., rationalize, defend and bolster) forms of social and economic inequality, even if the inequality is disadvantageous to them.This paper examines how this system-justifying motivation is reflected in behaviors involving interpersonal trust.
