Gene misexpression in humans
… in a context where it is usually inactive. In humans, gene misexpression has been implicated in cancers and several rare diseases, for example congenital limb malformations, congenital hyperinsulinism and monogenic severe childhood obesity. These studies have identified gain-of-function genetic …

The Consumer of Humans
For decades, a dearth of scientific research, inadequate treatment and diagnostic tools have slowed progress in the fight to control tuberculosis globally. Scientists have developed important drugs, such as isoniazid, rifampin, and pyrazinamide, against the disease. But these drugs must be taken …

Humans Among the Clouds
For over 100 years, scientists have trekked to an observatory on top of Blue Hill in Milton, Massachusetts to observe and record the weather. When the Observatory was founded in 1885, scientists’ understanding of Earth’s atmosphere was still too limited for them to reliably predict the next day’s …

Triggering and measuring neural response indicative of inhibition in humans during conversations with virtual humans
… (fNIRS) to measure response to virtual humans; previous studies have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which provides a less natural experience and is not conducive to non-verbal communication. The results from the first experiment suggest an effect emanating from prior …

When humans anthropomorphize non-humans: The impact of interactivity and human motivation on anthropomorphism and persuasion
… advances at a rapid pace, the boundary between humans and AI is becoming increasingly blurred. This dissertation primarily focuses on the role of anthropomorphism in AI-driven persuasion. Anthropomorphism serves as a foundational mechanism through which individuals perceive and evaluate AI …

Eating as Adjunctive Behavior in Humans
The problem. The present study investigated the possibility that some eating may be adjunctive in nature during television viewing when an opportunity to eat is provided. Procedure. Three children were individually placed in a room with a television that monitored either uninterrupted cartoons or …

Assessment of Ocular Accommodation in Humans
Accommodation is the change in the dioptric power of the eye altering the focus from distance to near. Presbyopia is the loss of accommodative function that occurs with age. There are many techniques used to measure accommodation, however, there is little consensus as to how clinical data should be …

Reading "Monstrous" Humans in Reformation England
… the process by which these texts transformed humans into legible signs, training the reader to understand their own flawed interiority in relation to the spectacle of human deformity and, consequently, to read external monstrosity in terms of moral failure. The first chapter of the thesis …

Objective Measures of Tinnitus in Humans
Currently, the only means of assessing tinnitus and evaluating tinnitus treatments is by subjective measures (e.g. behavioral tests, questionnaires). Subjective methods, while important for clinical assessment, do not offer a reliable way to distinguish peripherally vs. centrally driven dysfunction …

Watching Humans and Detecting Their Abnormalities
In summary, an abnormality detection system, which involves in human detection, human tracking, and activity classification, is discussed in the dissertation. The current system can only work under familiar environments. Future work will aim at a general abnormality detection system for video …

Confident Learning for Machines and Humans
… human intelligence has the potential to empower humans with augmented capabilities (e.g., improving rhyme-density while writing song lyrics, enhancing empathy via emotion detection, and personalizing learning in online courses). Unfortunately, humans operate in an uncertain world – where the …

Mathematical models for Tuberculosis spread in humans
We studied two models describing transmission dynamics of tuberculosis (TB) and discussed their implications to human health. The first model is analyzed in the presence of treatment of active TB persons and the screened asymptomatic TB infectives. The second model is analyzed by looking at …

Fixed -interval timeout from avoidance with humans
… fixed-interval (FI) schedules of reinforcement, humans and other animals often have different response patterns. For example, the pattern typically associated with animals is the scallop: a pause followed by a gradual acceleration in responding. Humans generally show terminal-minimum (i.e., pause …
