Abstract The present study investigated music‐syntactic processing with chord sequences that ended on either regular or irregular functions. Sequences were composed such perceived differences in the cognitive between syntactically and chords could not be due to sensory of acoustic factors like pitch repetition, commonality (the major component “sensory dissonance”), roughness. Three experiments independent groups subjects conducted: a behavioral experiment two using electroencephalography....

Wikidata is a community-maintained knowledge base that has been assembled from repositories in the fields of genomics, proteomics, genetic variants, pathways, chemical compounds, and diseases, adheres to FAIR principles findability, accessibility, interoperability reusability. Here we describe breadth depth biomedical contained within Wikidata, discuss open-source tools have built add information synchronize it with source databases. We also demonstrate several use cases for including...
Data management plans (DMPs) are documents accompanying research proposals and project outputs. DMPs created as free-form text describe the data tools employed in scientific investigations. They often seen an administrative exercise not integral part of practice. There is now widespread recognition that DMP can have more thematic, machine-actionable richness with added value for all stakeholders: researchers, funders, repository managers, administrators, librarians, others. The community...

This paper provides a brief overview of major hypothesis in invasion biology: the enemy release hypothesis. Building on summary different previous definitions, we provide following revised definition: “A reduced pressure by enemies non-native range contributes to success.” Further, suggest formalizing basic form ‘subject - relationship object’ allow for disambiguating existing meanings and enhancing their usability machines.

The brain, like any living tissue, is constantly changing in response to genetic and environmental cues their interaction, leading changes brain function structure, many of which are now reach neuroimaging techniques. Computational morphometry on the basis Magnetic Resonance (MR) images has become method choice for studying macroscopic structure across time scales. Thanks computational advances sophisticated study designs, both minimal extent change necessary detection and, consequently,...
The Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak in the Americas has caused global concern that we may be on brink of a healthcare crisis. lack research ZIKV over 60 years have known about it left us with little way starting points for drug discovery. Our response can build previous efforts outbreaks and lean heavily work done other flaviviruses such as dengue virus. We provide some suggestions what might possible propose an open discovery effort mobilizes science provides leadership, which thus far been...
We demonstrate how a classical taxonomic description of new species can be enhanced by applying generation molecular methods, and novel computing imaging technologies. A cave-dwelling centipede, Eupolybothrus cavernicolus Komerički & Stoev sp. n. (Chilopoda: Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae), found in remote karst region Knin, Croatia, is the first eukaryotic for which, addition to traditional morphological description, we provide fully sequenced transcriptome, DNA barcode, detailed anatomical...

Further, it defines compares several routes publishing, namely as (1) supplementary files research articles, which may be...

Information related to the COVID-19 pandemic ranges from biological bibliographic, geographical genetic and beyond. The structure of raw data is highly complex, so converting it meaningful insight requires curation, integration, extraction visualization, global crowdsourcing which provides both additional challenges opportunities.

Analyzing the causal impact of different policies in reducing spread COVID-19 is critical importance. The main challenge here existence unobserved confounders (e.g., vigilance residents) which influence both presence and COVID-19. Besides, as may be time-varying, it even more difficult to capture them. Fortunately, increasing prevalence web data from various online applications provides an important resource time-varying observational data, enhances opportunity them, e.g., residents over...
ABSTRACT Urban ecology is a rapidly growing research field that has to keep pace with the pressing need tackle sustainability crisis. As an inherently multi‐disciplinary close ties practitioners and administrators, synthesis knowledge transfer between those different stakeholders crucial. Knowledge maps can enhance provide orientation researchers as well practitioners. A promising option for developing such create hypothesis networks, which structure existing hypotheses aggregate them...
Abstract Improving patient care and advancing scientific discovery requires responsible sharing of research data, healthcare records, biosamples, biomedical resources that must also respect applicable use conditions. Defining a standard to structure manage these conditions is complex challenging task. This exemplified by near unlimited range asset types, high variability conditions, differing applications at the individual or collective level. Furthermore, specifics granularity required are...
Abstract Human personality has brain correlates that exert manifold influences on biological processes. This study investigates relations between emotional and heart activity. Our data demonstrate is related to a specific cardiac amplitude signature in the resting electrocardiogram (ECG). Two experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging show this with activity amygdala hippocampus during processing of musical stimuli valence. Additionally, subjective indices emotionality (as...
Until fairly recently, medical publications have been handicapped by being restricted to non-electronic formats, effectively preventing the dissemination of complex audiovisual and three-dimensional data. However, authors readers could significantly profit from advances in electronic publishing that permit inclusion multimedia content directly into an article. For first time, de facto gold standard for scientific publishing, portable document format (PDF), is used here as a platform embed...
Driven by changes to policies of governments and funding agencies, Open Access content data is quickly becoming the prevailing model in academic publishing. benefits scientists with greater dissemination citation their work, provides society as a whole access latest research. is, however, only one facet scholarly communication. Core scientific statements or assertions are intertwined hidden narratives, underlying these often obscured point that replication results impossible (Nature...
