Unraveling the small tie problem mystery: Size effects from finger counting to mental strategies in addition.

Determining how children solve arithmetic problems when they stop using their fingers is a real challenge. To take it up, the evolution of problem-size effects for tie and non-tie problems was observed when 6-year-olds (N = 65) shift from finger counting to mental strategies. These observations revealed that the problem-size effect remained the same for non-tie problems, whereas it drastically decreased for tie problems.

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have proven to be fantastic at a wide range of machine learning tasks, and they have certainly come into their own in all sorts of technologies that are widely consumed today in society as a whole. A basic task of machine learning that neural networks are well suited to is supervised learning, including when learning orbits from time samples of dynamical systems. The usual construct in ANN is to fully train all of the perhaps many millions of parameters that define the network architecture.

Background: Reninoma is a rare cause of secondary hypertension, which can be cured with surgery if identified early before any target organ damage occurs. It leads to hypokalaemia and hypertension and typically responds well to treatment with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers. However, confirmation of the diagnosis and the localisation of this rare culprit lesion can be challenging.
