Abstract:

“Consumer culture” theories frequently claim that people use symbols of consumption to socially self-categorize and satisfy their needs for assimilation or differentiation. Through two empirical quantitative studies, we argue that self-categorization operates according to a duality overlooked by these theories. On one hand, self-categorization can be understood as the assimilation of the “I” into a normatively well-characterized group, a self-categorization that we define as “ontological” in this article. On the other hand, it can be understood as the identification with socially standardized

Abstract:

The racial categorization literature, reliant on forced-choice tasks, suggests that mixed-race targets are often categorized using the parent faces that created the racially mixed stimuli (e.g., Black or White) or their combination (e.g., Black–White multiracial). In the current studies, we introduce a free-response task that allows for spontaneous categorizations of higher ecological validity. Our results suggest that, when allowed, observers often classify Black–White faces into alternative categories (i.e., responses that are neither the parent races nor their combination), such as Hispanic

Abstract:

The article considers conceptual ideas of color categorization as a cultural practice. Color categorization is the process of dividing the color continuum into discrete color groups (color categories) and fixing them in the human mind through the cutural sign system. In modern color studies, this process is viewed from the ecocentric perspective. According to ecocentrism, humans and other living being are equal parts of nature, and they should coexist in harmony and peace. In this regard, it becomes important to search for ecological motivation not only in the human body, but also in human act

Abstract:

Sussman et al. describe an ecological property of the speech signal that is putatively functional in perception. An important issue, however, is whether their putative cue is an emerging feature or whether the second formant (F2) onset and the F2 vowel actually provide independent cues to perceptual categorization. Regardless of the outcome of this issue, an important goal of speech research is to understand how multiple cues are evaluated and integrated to achieve categorization.

Microorganisms encode proteins that function in the transformations of useful and harmful nitrogenous compounds in the global nitrogen cycle. The major transformations in the nitrogen cycle are nitrogen fixation, nitrification, denitrification, anaerobic ammonium oxidation, and ammonification.

Recently, deep learning algorithms based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved higher than human accuracy for a wide range of visual categorization tasks.

Abstract:

AbstractSince 1969, ten soil seed bank classification systems have been published. Among these systems, the number of recognized seed bank categories varies from three to twelve. Seed longevity is the main factor used for distinguishing categories, but dormancy and germination types are also important. Systems considering relatively few seed bank categories have been the most commonly proposed in contemporary plant ecology. In contrast, systems involving high numbers of categories have received limited interest because the detailed ecological knowledge of individual species required for their

Abstract:

This study collected acoustic information on false killer whales ( Pseudorca crassidens) in Mexican waters, close to Roca Partida Island, Revillagigedo Archipelago. In total, 321 whistles were collected after we found a group with at least ten individuals. The high prevalence of ascending contour types [upsweep (type I): 42.99%] contradicted the idea that false killer whales mostly produce constant whistles. Lack of well-established reproducibility criteria for whistle type categorization among studies may have generated results different from those expected for signal modulation. Future acous

Abstract:

This article presents a case study of the solidarity economy in Italy: the Italian G.A.S. – Gruppi di Acquisto Solidale, which I translate as Solidarity Purchase Groups. GAS are often conceptualized as "alternative food networks". Beyond this categorization, I highlight their novelty in relational, political, and ecological terms, with respect to their capacity to forge new partnerships between consumers and producers. Introducing an ethnographic study that I have developed in a recent monograph (Grasseni 2013), I dwell here in particular on how the solidarity economy is embedded in practice.

Abstract:

While sharing intellectual ancestry, organizational ecology and institutionalism are rarely used conjointly to explain population dynamics. A rapprochement would nevertheless be fruitful, as the parsimonious models developed by ecologists are better able to explain organizational founding and failure when enriched with institutional variables. We present a meta-analysis of density dependence theory, which predicts a non-monotonic relationship between population density and organizational vital events. We show that ecology and institutionalism are ‘better together’ by extending this ecological

Abstract To advance research on the role of race, ethnicity, and structural racism in health disparities, recent calls-to-action have described methods to correct race and ethnicity categorization and to measure structural and social determinants of health (SSDOH). Following the rapid advance in the understanding of race and SSDOH, long running cohort studies typically lack access to this novel data, which has limited SSDOH evidence to cross-sectional and ecological associations. We implemented methods to rectify this data gap in prospective cohort studies, using The Women’s Health Initiative

Abstract:

Natural marine soundscapes are being threatened by increasing anthropic noise, particularly in shallow coastal waters. To preserve and monitor these soundscapes, understanding them is essential. Here, we propose a new method for semi-supervised categorization of shallow marine soundscapes, with further interpretation of these categories according to concurrent environmental conditions. The proposed methodology uses a nonlinear mapping of short-term spectrograms to a two-dimensional space, followed by a density-based clustering algorithm to identify similar sound environments.

Background: Lung Cancer is the disease spreading around the world nowadays. Early recognition of lung disease is a difficult task as the cells which cause tumor will grow quickly and the majority of these cells are enclosed with each other. From the beginning of the treatment, tumor detection handling systems which are generally utilized for the diagnosis of lung cancer, recognizable proof of hereditary and ecological elements is imperative in creating a novel technique for lung tumor detection.

Ecotoxicity was evaluated using crustacean (Dahpnia magna, Thamnocephalus platyurus) and algae (Raphidocelis subcapitata) bioassays. The geochemical and mineralogical results suggested that the mining residues underwent intense weathering processes, with active processes of acidity generatio

Going from a saltwater creature to a freshwater creature is not easy, however, and several modifications in appearance and physiology are necessary to survive the dramatic change in salinity. Their return to freshwater is not random, based on chemical signals left by the migration of lamprey larvae to return to rivers They can return to the same place they came from, but, unlike Pacific salmon, this prec
