Summary: The study found that the combined action of hydraulic cracks and fracturing water is the decisive factor influencing the change in apparent resistivity, and the initiation sequence and spatial location of cracks can be intuitively reflected through the characteristics of resistivity.

Summary: Rational decision makers aim to maximize gains, but biases and distortions often affect humans and animals in their decision-making. A recent study found that humans, mice, and rats fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy in economic decisions. By using a computational model, researchers were able to illustrate how a rational decision maker's behavior can be replicated and proposed a new task design to differentiate sunk costs from decision valuation fluctuations.

Summary: This study introduces firm information gain for model discrimination based on Shannon entropy and worst-case scenario experimental design. A framework that combines the parallel-sequential genetic algorithm (GA) and the nested quadrature rule is proposed to maximize the firm information gain. The results show that using a full covariance matrix and prioritizing new groundwater data collection over exploring additional pumping wells can effectively identify the same and true model.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the modulation of auditory duration perception by task-irrelevant visual apparent motion. We found that the speed and temporal frequency of the apparent motion had an impact on the perception of auditory duration. Slow apparent motion led to overestimation of auditory duration, while fast apparent motion did not have this effect. Additionally, the temporal frequency of the apparent motion influenced auditory duration perception, with fast apparent motion and the actual motion frequency resulting in underestimation of auditory duration.

Summary: Through theoretical and experimental demonstrations, quantum advantage can be achieved in quantum reading by combining practical photon-counting measurements with a simple maximum-likelihood decision. Quantum entanglement and simple optics are shown to enhance the readout of digital data, paving the way for practical applications of quantum reading.

Summary: Current biomimetic designs lack the incorporation of natural variance, while the presented methodology allows for the introduction of randomness through the superimposition of Gaussian distribution on regular arrays of parametric unit cells, preventing overlaps and providing a template for more accurate mimicry of biological structures across multi-physics problems.

Summary: This study found that there was a dramatic shift in floral composition during the PETM in the Bighorn Basin. However, the palynofloral change was more subtle. The researchers discovered that older pollen grains were extensively redeposited during the PETM, leading to poor preservation of temperate taxon pollen and well-preserved pollen from tropical taxon.

Summary: This article explores the concept of consumer autonomy and proposes a formalization using mathematical theory to define true autonomy, actual autonomy, reliability of wills, and reliability of product choice. It suggests that decreasing true autonomy can actually increase actual autonomy if it leads to an increase in reliability. The insights from this formalization provide valuable avenues for future research on consumer autonomy.

Summary: This paper examines race- and gender-based discrimination in grading using a quasi-experimental research design. The results show no evidence of gender or ethnic bias based on names in the grading process. The study suggests the importance of considering the stakes involved in potentially discriminatory activities compared to discrimination in other areas such as employment and housing.

Summary: This article proposes a pricing optimization approach for refund service fees based on negative binomial distribution to address the issue of losses caused by ticket cancellation behavior faced by high-speed railway enterprises. By categorizing passengers and building an optimization model, the compensation for ticket cancellation losses is maximized. The case study shows that the current charging standard for refund service fees is too low and needs to be adjusted to balance the losses.

Summary: Global agricultural industries are facing pressure to meet future food demand, but the existing crop genetic diversity may not be sufficient. However, advances in genome sequencing technologies and discovery of genetic diversity in crop wild relatives (CWRs) offer potential for crop improvement. There are various ex-situ and in-situ resources holding rare and valuable wild species, which carry agronomically important traits. The availability and use of CWR genomic resources, as well as modern breeding experimental approaches and computational methods, can contribute to crop adaptability and yield improvement.

Summary: The pressure on coastal regions in both developing and developed countries is similar, focusing on climate change, marine resource preservation, infrastructure development, and economic growth. The difference lies in the resources required to address these issues. In remote areas like small island regions in emerging developed countries like Indonesia, the challenges are more complex. However, efforts must come from coastal communities to initiate movements to maintain marine resources and prepare for the negative impact of climate change. This study aimed to measure the value of protecting the surrounding marine area in the Kei Islands, Indonesia, using choice modelling to understand coastal communities' perceptions towards Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The findings showed that most coastal communities supported the idea of protecting marine resources, with coastal protection being the main trigger for implementing MPAs in the region. The results highlight the importance of climate change in coastal regions.
