AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how cultural differences influence online support for high-profile individuals using the Tall Poppy Scale, comparing responses from Chinese and New Zealand European participants.
- The survey focused on their willingness to vote for or against reality TV contestants based on their success or failure, revealing that New Zealanders tended to support high achievers while the Chinese preferred to see them fail.
- Additionally, the Chinese participants interacted less with achievement content, indicating a cultural discomfort with celebrating individual success.
Article Abstract
The willingness to support (or denigrate) high-profile individuals online was examined across cultures using the Tall Poppy Scale. A sample of 106 Chinese and 164 New Zealand Europeans answered an online questionnaire addressing their preference for high achievers to be rewarded or fail. Participants were asked whether they would vote to support reality TV contestants, and offered further information (about success or failure) on a debrief page. The Favour Reward scale predicted willingness to vote and support others. The Favour Fall subscale tended to predict time spent viewing achievement-related information on a debrief page. The Chinese sample did not prefer reward of high achievers, instead favoring their fall, but spent less time per click on the debrief page, suggesting they disliked recognizing individual achievement.

The optimal method for three-dimensional thermal imaging within cells involves collecting intracellular temperature responses while simultaneously obtaining corresponding 3D positional information. Current temperature measurement techniques based on the photothermal properties of quantum dots face several limitations, including high cytotoxicity and low fluorescence quantum yields. These issues affect the normal metabolic processes of tumor cells.

Anti-ambipolar transistors (AAT) are considered as a breakthrough technology in the field of electronics and optoelectronics, which is not only widely used in diverse logic circuits, but also crucial for the realization of high-performance photodetectors. The anti-ambipolar characteristics arising from the gate-tunable energy band structure can produce high-performance photodetection at different gate voltages. As a result, this places higher demands on the parametric driving range (ΔVg) and peak-to-valley ratio (PVR) of the AAT.

Germanium is known to occupy tetrahedral sites by substituting silicon in germanosilicate zeolites. In this study, we present pioneering findings regarding the synthesis of zeolites with an MFI structure (GeMFI) incorporating a high germanium amount (16% Ge). Remarkably, the germanium atoms feature a slight electron deficiency with respect to GeO, and the typical coordination number of 4, as usually reported for the germanosilicate zeolites, is exceeded, giving rise to Ge dimers in a double-bridge configuration.

To improve the expressiveness and realism of illustration images, the experiment innovatively combines the attention mechanism with the cycle consistency adversarial network and proposes an efficient style transfer method for illustration images. The model comprehensively utilizes the image restoration and style transfer capabilities of the attention mechanism and the cycle consistency adversarial network, and introduces an improved attention module, which can adaptively highlight the key visual elements in the illustration, thereby maintaining artistic integrity during the style transfer process. Through a series of quantitative and qualitative experiments, high-quality style transfer is achieved, especially while retaining the original features of the illustration.
