In a constantly changing environment, one of the conditions for adaptation is based on the visual system's ability to realize predictions. In this context, a question that arises is the evolution of the processes allowing anticipation with regard to the acquisition of knowledge relative to specific situations. We sought to study this question by focusing on boundary extension, the tendency to overestimate the scope of a previously perceived scene. We presented to novice, beginner, and expert car drivers road scenes in the form of approach sequences constituting very briefly displayed photographs (i.e., 250 milliseconds each), in order to determine the effect of expertise at an early stage of scene perception. After three presentations, participants had to judge whether a fourth photograph was the same, closer up, or further away than the third one. When experts and beginners showed a classical boundary extension effect, novices presented no directional memory distortion. Different hypotheses are discussed.

The changing relationship between racial identity and skin color in Brazil.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
January 2025
Department of Sociology, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-5100.
In recent years, Brazil's non-White (Brown and Black) population became a numerical majority for the first time since the 19th century. Although we know this change was mostly due to racial reclassification, we do not know how such changes are related to skin color, the primary marker of race in Brazil. Using data from six Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), or America's Barometer, surveys from 2010 to 2023, we examine how changes in racial self-identification (White, Brown, or Black) are related to respondent skin color (light, medium, or dark).

Within this genus, section Hymenostegis is notable for its complexity and high levels of endemism, especially in northwestern Iran. During recent field explorations in West Azarbaijan province, a distinct population of Astragalus was identified, differing from known species within section Hymenostegis.

January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic and Traumatology, Trabzon Kanuni Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey.
Objective: Despite several surgical options, there has yet to be a consensus on the best treatment for femoral neck fracture (FNF) due to higher complication rates compared to other bone fractures. This study aims to examine the possible consequences and solution suggestions of changing screws during surgery for various reasons in FNF surgical treatment from a biomechanical perspective.
Method: FNF and treatment materials were analyzed biomechanically using a package program based on the finite element method (FEM).
Experimental and numerical investigation of dissimilar weld characterization in laser welding of duplex 2205 and AISI 1060 steel: Microstructure, mechanical properties and weld geometry.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on dissimilar laser welding of AISI 1060 carbon steel and Duplex Stainless Steel 2205, using both experimental and numerical methods to analyze the impact of welding parameters.
- The increase in laser power significantly influenced the melt pool depth, which rose from 0.4 mm to 1.4 mm when power was ramped up from 250 to 450 W, and the resultant microstructure varied between the two materials with distinct solidification patterns.
- Tensile test results indicated that the carbon steel side exhibited brittle fracture, while the Duplex Stainless Steel showed a ductile fracture, highlighting the differing mechanical properties due to their respective microstructures and the transition towards ductility with increased laser energy density.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) simulations may provide insight into this novel therapeutic technology and help optimize its use. However, because of the relatively short history and technical complexity of TEER simulations, important questions remain unanswered. For example, there is no consensus on how to handle the annular boundary conditions in these simulations.
