Social and non-social risk-taking in adolescence by Weike Wang, Kylie Evans, Susanne Schweizer

“…This is in contrast with adolescent-typical behaviour, which is characterised by heightened risk-taking in social contexts. The current study aimed to investigate how low self-perceived social value influences risk-taking in social compared to non-social contexts during adolescence. 114 adolescents (aged 12–23 years) completed the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) in individual and social contexts. …”

All‐Electronic Memristor Based on Charge Carrier Confinement in Bulk Semiconductor of Metal–Semiconductor–Metal Structure by Abolfazl Mahmoodpoor, Alexandr Marunchenko, Sergey Makarov

“…It is shown that an all‐electronic memristor is achieved through the confinement of majority charge carriers within the bulk semiconductor by the favor of high barrier Schottky contacts. The findings reveal a remarkable current offset between forward and backward scans, along with exceptional current pulse consistency with a tunable current level using pulse frequency. …”

Sense of agency in gesture-based interactions: modulated by sensory modality but not feedback meaning by George Evangelou, Orestis Georgiou, Eddie Brown, James W. Moore

“…It is important, however, that the user still feels a sense of agency, which here refers to perceiving system changes as caused by their gesture.MethodsIn the current study, 36 participants engaged in an experimental time perception task with an automotive-themed infotainment menu, serving as an implicit quantitative measure of agency. …”

Impact of Thermal Power Plant Waste Products on Corrosion Dynamics of Pipeline Carbon Steel Alloy in Soil Aqueous Solutions by Camila Porporatti Rosso, Eduardo Ceretta Moreira, Matheus Henrique Baesso, André Gündel, Alexandre Ferreira Galio

“…Adding desulfurization by-products to soil solutions (DBS) created a transpassive layer during potentiostatic polarization, with a passive current density of about 10μA.cm-2. EIS measurements showed a substantial increase in polarization resistance, with the DBS exhibiting nearly 700 times higher resistance than the standard soil solution (SSS) at 0V (OCP). …”

Oh, the places you can go … if you ace calculus: helping minoritized students succeed in undergraduate mathematics by Amira F. A. Ibrahim, Sarah E. McKellar, J. Frank Yates, Priti Shah

“…However, most of the literature on minoritized STEM students uses a deficit lens and does not consider the role of historical and systemic contexts on these students’ STEM achievement. As a product, current interventions used to increase academic achievement are limited in scope and do not consider the complex interplay between the numerous factors known to influence academic success. …”
