Handedness/footedness and side biases are a well-known phenomenon in many animals, including humans.However, these so-called biases have mostly been studied at the population level--individual biases have received less attention, especially with regard to consistency over different tasks.Here we investigate behavioral lateralization in 12 male Budg
As the performance of a convolutional neural network is logarithmically proportional to the amount of training data, data augmentation has attracted increasing attention in recent years.Although the current data augmentation methods are efficient because they force the network to learn multiple parts of a given training image through occlusion or r
Abstract Plant-sourced aromatic amino acid (AAA) derivatives are a vast group of chorulon hcg compounds with broad applications.Here, we present the development of a yeast consortium for efficient production of (S)-norcoclaurine, the key precursor for benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis.A xylose transporter enables the concurrent mixed-sugar u
Successful implementation of the quest for sustainable use of the planet requires that human society both reexamine and expand present views ventilationstejp of what is sacred and what is not.The most important aspect will be going beyond a homocentric focus to a biocentric emphasis.A unifying theme would be the desire to leave a habitable planet f
Social skills have been known to predict bullying tendencies in adolescence.However, knowledge about the mechanisms by here which social skills are linked to bullying tendency remains limited.The present study investigated whether friendship quality would mediate the link.A sample of 204 adolescents (16-18 years old; 163 girls; 41 boys) studying in
