Disentangling neural heterogeneity in autism
Two main theories of neural atypicality have been postulated in autism. One theory proposes that autism can be explained as the result of atypical patterns of hypo and hyper functional connectivity (FC) within and between brain areas. A complementary theory suggests that atypical functional …

Disentangling neural network representations for improved generalization
Despite the increasingly broad perceptual capabilities of neural networks, applying them to new tasks requires significant engineering effort in data collection and model design. Generally, inductive biases can make this process easier by leveraging knowledge about the world to guide neural network …

Disentangling plant-microbe interactions under environmental change
The application of nitrogen fertiliser to maintain agricultural productivity is one of the key aspects of modern farming. These activities help provide for a growing population under climate change pressures with higher intensity droughts occurring more frequently. However, such manipulations alter …

Nicotine Addiction and Impulsive Behaviour: Disentangling the Relationship
Drug addiction can now be considered a global epidemic with considerable psychological, physical, social and economicc osts. Substantial research remains focused upon furthering our understating of the disorder, for which current treatments are limited in their effectiveness. More recently there …

Disentangling Colonial Migration: Koreans to the Metropole, 1910-1945
This study explores colonial Korea and its relation to imperial Japan through the lens of Korean emigrants to Japan who acted as a bridge between the periphery and metropole of the Japanese empire. Because Korean residents in the labouring class occupied the largest population of foreigners in …

Disentangling morphosyntax from morphophonology: a re-evaluation of morphological priming
The notion of morpheme as the smallest unit of form with a meaning has been widely abandoned by theoretical morphologists due to its empirical inadequacy (Matthews 1972, Anderson 1992, Aronoff 1993, Hall and Marantz 1993, Aronoff and Sims 2023). Instead, contemporary approaches to morphology argue …

Disentangling Resilience, Agility and Leanness: Conceptual Development and Empirical Analysis
… context of supply chain, specifically by: (1) disentangling resilience, leanness and agility and (2) investigating how resilience along with leanness and agility affects operational performance outcomes. At the first phase, a literature review of practices underlying Lean, Agile and Resilient …

Disentangling the EMC effect: from free to bound nucleon structure
Deep inelastic scattering experiments using electron beams on fixed targets allow for the study of the structure of nucleons. While the structure of the free proton has been well measured, the free neutron structure and the modification of nucleon structure in the nuclear environment, the EMC …

Disentangling the influence of dispersal on community assembly and stability
With the introduction of metacommunity theory, the field of community ecology expanded its scope to include patterns and processes beyond the scale of local communities. Dispersal, or the movement of organisms between sites, can play an influential role in generating patterns of community assembly …

Malice, inequality, instability, or ignorance? Disentangling the mechanisms of LLM unfairness
Ensuring fairness in large language models (LLMs) is critical as these models are increasingly deployed in sensitive domains. Traditional fairness metrics typically report a single scalar score, which conflates distinct sources of model failure and obscures underlying biases. In this work, we …

Fourier Transform Based Analysis of Mass Spectra: Disentangling Mass Heterogeneity and Polydispersity
Understanding the interactions of small molecules with biomolecules and their complexes is fundamental to the clinical interpretation of biological functions and pharmaceutical development. Conversely, these delicate interactions present a multiplexed problem requiring highly specific and sensitive …

Disentangling autism heterogeneity by the distinction of disability versus difference over development
Heterogeneity is ubiquitous amongst autistic individuals at multiple scales. A multitude of phenotypes coexists under the autism diagnostic label. Nowadays, the concept of personalized medicine is changing how research and clinical areas operate by emphasizing individual psychobiological …

Disentangling the 'enigmatic mass' of home education discourse : a Foucault influenced analysis
This research investigates how knowledge about home education, the term most commonly used to describe children who are educated based at home as opposed to school, is formed and shaped through discourse. The study was conducted in the years immediately following the global COVID-19 pandemic, a …

Disentangling Perceived and Measured Soil Health in New York City Urban Farms
Soil contamination is often addressed by constructing new compost-based soils for urban agriculture. We examined these constructed soils to assess soil health across a diversity of farming sites across New York City, consulting with farmers to characterize their soils as “healthy” or “unhealthy” …

Disentangling Discrimination: The Impact of Political and Societal Discrimination on Democratic (Dis)Engagement
How does discrimination impact the political behaviors of racial and ethnic minority groups in democratic societies? Are all types of discrimination the same? The direct relationship between discrimination and behavior is surprisingly understudied. The few studies that have focused on this topic …
