Research on the perception of interpersonal distance has shown the existence of an asymmetry effect which depends on the reference point of the estimation: the distance from oneself to others can be perceived as longer or shorter than the distance from others to oneself. The mechanism underlying this asymmetric effect is related to the object's cognitive salience. The self often functions as a habitual reference point and therefore one's own salience may be higher than that of other objects.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe origin of high-energy cosmic rays, atomic nuclei that continuously impact Earth's atmosphere, is unknown. Because of deflection by interstellar magnetic fields, cosmic rays produced within the Milky Way arrive at Earth from random directions. However, cosmic rays interact with matter near their sources and during propagation, which produces high-energy neutrinos.

- A supermassive black hole in the galaxy NGC 1068, hidden by cosmic dust, is believed to power its active core, and neutrinos might help us understand this.
- Researchers analyzed data from the IceCube neutrino detector from 2011 to 2020 to detect neutrinos from various gamma-ray sources, including NGC 1068.
- They discovered an excess of high-energy neutrinos from NGC 1068, indicating a significant connection to the galaxy's activity, and these neutrinos were found to be much more abundant than previously measured gamma rays from the same source.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the presence of an unstable sterile neutrino using eight years of atmospheric muon neutrino data collected at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.
- Results indicate that both traditional three-neutrino models and 3+1 sterile neutrino models are less favored compared to the unstable sterile neutrino model, but no significant evidence for 3+1 neutrinos with decay was found.
- The research provides specific parameters for the unstable sterile neutrino model, while also excluding favored regions of the 3+1 model from prior short-baseline oscillation studies.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the dyadic relationships between symptoms of anxiety and depression and life engagement in mother-adolescent and young adult (AYA) dyads with and without a history of cancer.
Methods: One hundred mother-AYA dyads and 50 mother-AYA cancer survivor dyads self-reported anxiety and depressive symptoms and life engagement. Multilevel modelling analyses were used to test actor-partner interdependence models.
