The perceived duration of an interval depends on numerous aspects of the passed event both endogenous, including physiological arousal, level of wakefulness, attention, and surprise, as well as exogenous such as valence, salience, or context in the environment. There is some evidence that "time-giving" cues from the environment (zeitgebers) are coupled with time perception. The movement of the sun on the horizon was demonstrated to affect interval perception in a study conducted by Schatzschneider et al. (2016) claiming that the sun's motion is a zeitgeber that influences time perception. In t

Quantification of hydrologic model prediction uncertainty for various flow quantiles is of great importance for water resource planning and management. Thus, this study is designed to assess the effect of subbasin spatial scale on the hydrological model prediction uncertainty for different flow quantiles. The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), a geographic information system (GIS) interfaced hydrological model, was used in this study. Here, the spatial variations within the sub-basins of the Omo Gibe River basin in Ethiopia’s Abelti, Wabi, and Gecha watersheds from 1989 to 2020 were examined.

Abstract To test the impact of genetic heterogeneity on cis- and trans-mediated mechanisms of gene expression regulation, we profiled the transcriptome of adipose tissue in 20 inbred congenic strains derived from diabetic Goto–Kakizaki (GK) rats and Brown–Norway (BN) controls, which contain well-defined blocks (1–183 Mb) of genetic polymorphisms, and in 123 genetically heterogeneous rats of an (GK × BN)F2 offspring. Within each congenic we identified 73–1351 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), only 7.7% of which mapped within the congenic blocks, and which may be regulated in cis. The remai

BACKGROUND: When attempting to statistically distinguish between a null and an alternative hypothesis, many researchers in the life and social sciences turn to binned statistical analysis methods, or methods that are simply based on the moments of a distribution (such as the mean, and variance). These methods have the advantage of simplicity of implementation, and simplicity of explanation. However, when null and alternative hypotheses manifest themselves in subtle differences in patterns in the data, binned analysis methods may be insensitive to these differences, and researchers may erroneou
