This manuscript contributes to a future definition of objectivity by bringing together recent statements in epistemology and methodology. It outlines how improved objectivity can be achieved by systematically incorporating multiple perspectives, thereby improving the validity of science. The more result-biasing…

In the last decade, many problematic cases of scientific conduct have been diagnosed; some of which involve outright fraud (e.g., Stapel, 2012) others are more subtle (e.g., supposed evidence of extrasensory perception; Bem, 2011). These and similar problems can be interpreted as caused by lack of scientific…

The objective method determines the weight-based known evaluation information by solving a mathematical model, which is particularly useful in situations where the decision-makers do not exist, or the options of the decision-maker are inconsistent . Several objective methods have mainly been discussed in the…

1## Introduction Cognitive fatigue is mainly caused by the accumulation of metabolites in the brain after prolonged mental activity or excessive stress. It is limited solely to a mental state arising from a behavioral situation that includes a long-term, continuous, and repetitive performance of some mental tasks (; …

'Pier Luigi Mazzeo' 'Isabelle Ledoux-Rak' 'Alessandro Bruno' 'Alessia Artesani' 'Faraz Janan'] A high-quality optical path alignment is essential for achieving superior image quality in optical biological microscope (OBM) systems. The traditional automatic alignment methods for OBMs rely heavily on complex…

Flux balance analysis (FBA) is a powerful tool to study genome-scale models of the cellular metabolism, based on finding the optimal flux distributions over the network. While the objective function is crucial for the outcome, its choice, even though motivated by evolutionary arguments, has not been directly connected…

Secondary metabolites are not essential for the growth of microorganisms, but they play a critical role in how microbes interact with their surroundings. In addition to this important ecological role, secondary metabolites also have a variety of agricultural, medicinal, and industrial uses, and thus the examination of…

Background Accurate determination of mouse positions from video data is crucial for various types of behavioral analyses. While detection of body positions is straightforward, the correct identification of nose positions, usually more informative, is far more challenging. The difficulty is largely due to variability in…

'Yuanchao Liu'] Bi-objective optimization problems arise when a process needs to be optimized with respect to two conflicting objectives. Solving such problems produces a set of points called the Pareto front, where no objective can be improved without worsening at least one other objective. Existing deterministic…

Cells are the basic building blocks of human organisms, and the identification of their types and states in transcriptomic data is an important and challenging task. Many of the existing approaches to cell-type prediction are based on clustering methods that optimize only one criterion. In this paper, a multi-objective…

Practice at our Center shows that approach using 3D surface imaging for morphometric comparison of patterned injuries does not always lead to accurate conclusions. We decided to evaluate whether a selection protocol focused on analysis phase could enable us to form an early assessment of the outcome of a comparison…

'Richard Andersson' 'Jeroen S. Benjamins' 'Dan Witzner Hansen' 'Ignace T. C. Hooge'] Researchers using eye tracking are heavily dependent on software and hardware tools to perform their studies, from recording eye tracking data and visualizing it, to processing and analyzing it. This article provides an overview of…

'Jochen Kuhn' 'Stefan Küchemann' 'Petros Daras'] Remote eye tracking has become an important tool for the online analysis of learning processes. Mobile eye trackers can even extend the range of opportunities (in comparison to stationary eye trackers) to real settings, such as classrooms or experimental lab courses.…

The performance of 2D digital imaging systems depends on several factors related with both optical and electronic processing. These concepts have originated standards, which have been conceived for photographic equipment and bi-dimensional scanning systems, and which have been aimed at estimating different parameters…
