From Abstract Symbols to Emotional (In-)Sights: An Eye Tracking Study on the Effects of Emotional Vignettes and Pictures
Reading is known to be a highly complex, emotion-inducing process, usually involving connected and cohesive sequences of sentences and paragraphs.However, most empirical results, especially from studies using eye tracking, are either restricted to simple linguistic materials (e.g., isolated words, single sentences) or disregard valence-driven effec
Sulforaphane exposure impairs contractility and mitochondrial function in three-dimensional engineered heart tissue
Sulforaphane (SFN) is a phytochemical compound extracted from cruciferous plants, like broccoli or cauliflower.Its isothiocyanate group renders SFN reactive, thus allowing post-translational modification of cellular proteins to regulate their function with the potential for biological and therapeutic actions.SFN and stabilized variants recently rec
Numerical Simulation of the Influence of Platform Pitch Motion on Power Generation Steadiness in Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
Offshore wind energy is a valuable renewable resource that is inexhaustible, strong, and consistent.To canon imageclass mf227dw reduce cost and improve energy production efficiency, future trends are moving towards wind turbines in deep water, which use floating platforms such as tension leg platforms, barges, and semi-submersible designs.Compared
EDECO: An Enhanced Educational Competition Optimizer for Numerical Optimization Problems
The Educational Competition Optimizer (ECO) is a newly proposed human-based metaheuristic algorithm.It derives from the phenomenon of educational competition in society with good performance.However, the basic ECO is constrained by its limited exploitation and exploration abilities when tackling complex optimization problems and exhibits the drawba
