Perceptions of the Personalities of Namesaked Children as a Function of Their Sex and Birth Order.

One-hundred-seventeen participants rated hypothetical individuals on the "Big Five" personality traits, narcissism, intelligence, and creativity. Hypothetical individuals differed according to namesake status (named after a parent/relative or not), sex, and birth order. Namesaking interacted with both sex and birth order on ratings of many personality traits, but sex and birth order were stronger predictors of personality stereotypes than was namesaking.

Deep Learning Approaches for Automatic Localization in Medical Images.

Recent revolutionary advances in deep learning (DL) have fueled several breakthrough achievements in various complicated computer vision tasks. The remarkable successes and achievements started in 2012 when deep learning neural networks (DNNs) outperformed the shallow machine learning models on a number of significant benchmarks. Significant advances were made in computer vision by conducting very complex image interpretation tasks with outstanding accuracy.

Computational Intelligence-Based Melanoma Detection and Classification Using Dermoscopic Images.

Melanoma is a kind of skin cancer caused by the irregular development of pigment-producing cells. Since melanoma detection efficiency is limited to different factors such as poor contrast among lesions and nearby skin regions, and visual resemblance among melanoma and non-melanoma lesions, intelligent computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) models are essential. Recently, computational intelligence (CI) and deep learning (DL) techniques are utilized for effective decision-making in the biomedical field.

Reaction of phosphinylated nitrosoalkenes with electron-rich heterocycles. Electrophilic aromatic substitution vs. cycloaddition.

The behavior of phosphinyl nitrosoalkenes with indole, pyrrole and 2,5-dimethylpyrrole is described. The reaction of nitrosoalkenes with indole leads to the formation of 3-substituted indoles. While a concerted asynchronous [4 + 2] cycloaddition process may explain the formation of 3-substituted indole when a methyl group is present at the 3-position of nitrosoalkene, the presence of a 3-methoxycarbonyl group at the same position of nitrosoalkene increases its electrophilic character, and both mechanisms, an electrophilic aromatic substitution and a [4 + 2] cycloaddition process, are predicted to be competitive, although thermodynamically the cycloaddition is favoured.
