Equity sensitivity versus equity preference: validating a new viewpoint on equity sensitivity
Traditional research on equity sensitivity has defined the construct as a preference for increased work rewards and/or a preference for reduced work inputs. In contrast, I here define equity sensitivity as a dispositional tendency to perceive stimuli as fair versus unfair. This new definition does …

Sensitivity Enhanced Model Reduction
… we numerically explore methods of coupling sensitivity analysis to the reduced model in order to increase the accuracy of a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) basis across a wider range of parameters. Various techniques based on polynomial interpolation and basis alteration are compared. …

Studies in Peroxiredoxin Hyperoxidation Sensitivity
… biochemistry of peroxiredoxins (Prx) and their sensitivity to inactivation by their own substrate, in a process called hyperoxidation. Hyperoxidation sensitivity is important to study because Prxs are implicated in many different diseases. For example, Prxs contribute to chemo- and …

Specialty crop sensitivity to dicamba
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) and potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are important specialty crops, accounting for 4% of the total agricultural crops sales in 2019 (USDA-NASS). Production continues to grow, as the sales these three crops generated increased from 30% of …

Sensitivity of Occult Blood Tests
… to determine the relative quantitative sensitivity of various occult blood tests. In addition some substances were investigated to determine if they gave positive tests and also the quantitative sensitivity of the tests to these substances.

Sensitivity methods and slow adaptation
In many existing model reference adaptive control (MRAC) schemes, the plant order and relative degree are assumed known. Then a full-order control parameterization is specified which allows for an exact transfer function match between the closed-loop plant and a reference model. Often for plants of …

Computational applications of noise sensitivity
… thesis is concerned with the study of the noise sensitivity of boolean functions and its applications in theoretical computer science. Noise sensitivity is defined as follows: Let f be a boolean function and let ... be a parameter. Suppose a uniformly random string x is picked, and y is formed by …

Sensitivity analysis of fracture scattering
We use a 2-D finite difference method to numerically calculate the seismic response of a single finite fracture in a homogeneous media. In our experiments, we use a point explosive source and ignore the free surface effect, so the fracture scattering wave field contains two parts: P-to-P scattering …

Model realization using sensitivity functions
… linear, time invariant model realization using sensitivity functions are presented. These concepts involve approaching the device modeling problem from an error gradient minimization viewpoint. This leads to the attainment of a minimal index of performance function (IP) and, consequently, …

Do gender, anxiety sensitivity level, and timing of anxiety sensitivity assessment predict heart rate variability?
<p>Anxiety sensitivity (AS), or the fear/belief that anxiety symptoms and sensations will have negative outcomes, is a strong predictor of future psychopathology. AS is divided into three factors: physical, cognitive, and social. Reduced heart rate variability (HRV), or the variation in intervals …

Development of sensitivity analysis with the use of TSUNAMI-3D sensitivity coefficients for benchmark uncertainty analysis
… the direct uncertainty analysis values with the sensitivity coefficients produced from the TSUNAMI-3D computer code. TSUNAMI-3D produces sensitivities to the nuclear data, while the direct uncertainty analysis required sensitivities to the material, and physical properties. The goal of this work …

Lipid sensitivity of the GPR132 receptor
The pH sensitive receptors are a group of four phylogenetically related G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). The prototypical member of this family, GPR68, is activated by low pH extracellular conditions. However, GPR132 does not contain histidine residues at equivalent positions and is likely not …

Mechanisms Regulating Pulmonary Sensitivity to Radiation
<p>At the present time, here is no approved medical countermeasure (MCM) for mitigating or treating pneumonitis/fibrosis following acute radiation exposure. Since it is neither ethical nor feasible to evaluate potential MCMs against radiation injury in the clinical setting, the FDA permits MCM …

Baroreflex sensitivity and developmental coordination disorder
… indicator of cardiovascular health is baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), which is a measure of short term BP regulation that is accomplished through changes in HR. Diminished BRS is predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate BRS in 117 children …
