New linearization and reweighting for simulations of string sigma-model on the lattice by L. Bianchi, V. Forini, B. Leder, P. Töpfer, E. Vescovi

“…Abstract We study the discretized worldsheet of Type IIB strings in the Gubser-Klebanov-Polyakov background in a new setup, which eliminates a complex phase previously detected in the fermionic determinant. A sign ambiguity remains, which a study of the fermionic spectrum shows to be related to Yukawa-like terms, including those present in the original Lagrangian before the linearization standard in a lattice QFT approach. …”

The multiple self and psychological openness by Hubert Suszek, Maciej Kopera, Andrzej Jakubczyk

“…This effect was consistently observed across various domains of openness: openness as a state (Study 1, N = 204), openness to change (Studies 3 and 4, N = 230 and N = 184), range of values (Studies 2 and 3, N = 212 and N = 230), psychological mindedness and decentering (Study 5, N = 159). Results consistently showed moderate effect sizes (d = 0.31–0.44) across different operationalizations of both the multiple self-induction and openness measures.DiscussionThese findings indicate that the way in which individuals organize their self-knowledge has important implications for their cognitive and experiential flexibility, contributing to our understanding of personality plasticity and development.…”
