The relationship between low perceived numeracy and cancer knowledge, beliefs, and affect.
Low numeracy may skew patient perceptions of information about cancer.This paper examines the relationship between self-reported measures of perceived numeracy and cancer knowledge, beliefs, and affect, using results from 3,052 respondents to the 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS-3).Chi-squared tests were used to identify differ
Optimization of lipid extraction from the oleaginous yeasts Rhodotorula glutinis and Lipomyces kononenkoae
Abstract The constant growing demand for vegetable oil for biodiesel and food is raising many environmental concerns about the sustainability of its production based on crops.Oleaginous yeasts show great potential to end with those concerns due to their high lipid productivity in small areas.To evaluate their productivity in lipids, an efficient an
Signatures of criticality in turning avalanches of schooling fish
Moving animal groups transmit information through propagating waves or behavioral cascades, exhibiting characteristics akin to systems near a critical point from statistical physics.Using data from freely swimming schooling fish in an experimental tank, we investigate spontaneous behavioral cascades involving turning avalanches, where large directi
