Background: Mobile sensing technology allows automated behavior shaping routines to be incorporated into health behavior interventions and other settings. In previous work, a computational model was built to investigate how to best arrange automatic behavior shaping procedures, but the degree to which this model reflects actual human behavior is not known.
Purpose: To translate a previously developed computational model of automatic behavior shaping into an experimental setting.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 5804 days of Super-Kamiokande data from 1996 to 2018 to detect variations in solar ^{8}B neutrino flux.
- The researchers utilized a five-day interval measurement approach and employed maximum likelihood and Lomb-Scargle methods to find any periodic modulations.
- They found a significant modulation related to Earth's elliptical orbit around the Sun, with measurements of eccentricity and perihelion shift aligning with astronomical data.
Background: Delay discounting is the depreciation in a reward's perceived value as a function of the time until receipt. Monetary incentive programs that provide rewards contingent on meeting daily physical activity (PA) goals may change participants' delay discounting preferences.
Purpose: Determine if monetary incentives provided in close temporal proximity to meeting PA goals changed delay discounting, and if such changes mediated intervention effects.
The introduction of quantum methods in spectroscopy can provide enhanced performance and technical advantages in the management of noise. We investigate the application of quantum illumination in a pump and probe experiment. Thermal lensing in a suspension of gold nanorods is explored using a classical beam as the pump and the emission from parametric downconversion as the probe.
