'Chihiro Hosoda'] Persistence of a distant goal is an important personality trait that determines academic and social success. Recent studies have shown that individual differences in persistence involve both genetic and environmental factors; however, these studies have not examined the role of maternal factors on a…

Failure of antibiotic therapies causes > 700,000 deaths yearly and involves both bacterial resistance and persistence. Persistence results in the relapse of infections by producing a tiny fraction of pathogen survivors that stay dormant during antibiotic exposure. From an evolutionary perspective, persistence is either…

'Kurt L. Hoffman'] Persistence is defined as, among other ways, the need to achieve the goals and strive for the goal. Persistence can also be considered from the perspective of the resource concept, as a positive factor related to an individual’s adaptive behaviour, psychological resilience, and normal…

'C. Casanova‐Mateo' 'L. Cuadra' 'María Piles' 'Gustau Camps‐Valls'] Persistence is an important characteristic of many complex systems in nature, related to how long the system remains at a certain state before changing to a different one. The study of complex systems' persistence involves different definitions and…

Behavioral persistence, the maintenance of goal-directed action despite obstacles, is a fundamental adaptive process, yet its scientific study remains fragmented across disciplines with disparate operational definitions. Here, we introduce the Persistence Spectrum (PERCS) framework, a five-dimensional model…

Pathogenic bacteria respond to antibiotic pressure with the evolution of resistance but survival can also depend on their ability to tolerate antibiotic treatment, known as persistence. While a variety of resistance mechanisms and underlying genetics are well characterised in vitro and in vivo, the evolution of…

Deciding how long to keep waiting for uncertain future rewards is a complex problem. Previous research has shown that choosing to stop waiting results from an evaluative process that weighs the subjective value of the awaited reward against the opportunity cost of waiting. In functional neuroimaging data, activity in…

Background: An important aspect of achievement goals is the persistence and determination that the person possesses in order to achieve it. Spain does not have an adequate instrument for its measurement. First, this article had the aim of adapt and validate the Motivational Persistence Scale of Constantin et al. in a…

'Aaron P. Mitchell'] Antifungal persistence is the phenomenon that occurs when a subpopulation of fungal cells can survive in the presence of high concentrations of antifungal drugs, which is different from the concepts of antifungal resistance and tolerance. Fungal persisters are not mutants but phenotypic variants of…

'Ahniia Havrylina'] Research on the passion investment market is still limited, especially on the issue of persistence. This paper is the first to investigate it using both R/S analysis and fractional integration in the case of 3 fine wine price indices, 10 diamond price indices, 15 art price indices, and 1 stamp price…

One of the critical tools of persistent homology is the persistence diagram. We demonstrate the applicability of a persistence diagram showing the existence of topological features (here rings in a 2D network) generated over time instead of space as a tool to analyse trajectories of biological networks. We show how the…

—The check-in service is often provided as an incentive system by online learning platforms to help users establish a learning routine and achieve accomplishment. However, according to the questionnaire conducted in this study, 82.5% of users of online English learning platforms that feature a check-in service have…

Perseveration – repeating one choice when others would generate larger rewards – is a common behavior, but neither its purpose nor neuronal mechanisms are understood. Here we demonstrate a neural correlate and causal role of dorsal prefrontal cortex (area MOs) in perseveration in mice performing a dynamic reward…

In this paper, we consider topological featurizations of data defined over simplicial complexes, like images and labeled graphs, obtained by convolving this data with various filters before computing persistence. Viewing a convolution filter as a local motif, the persistence diagram of the resulting convolution…

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has transformed the field of immunology by redirecting T lymphocytes toward tumor antigens. Despite successes in attaining remission rates as high as 70%, the performance of CAR therapy is limited by the survival of T cells. T cell persistence is crucial as it sustains…

While plastic pollution threatens ecosystems and human health, the use of plastic products continues to increase. Limiting its harm requires strategies when designing plastic products informed by the threats plastics pose to the environment. Thus, we developed a sustainability metric for the eco-design of plastic…

Adaptivity allows individuals to flexibly execute cognitive control to meet dynamically changing task demands while adhering to task goals. Such adaptivity is crucial for navigating complex problem spaces such as creative problem-solving. Recent theoretical and empirical investigations of individuals' tendencies…

Persistent homology, building its foundation on homology theory, has been successfully applied various fields containing computation of topology. Here, we derive and implement persistent homology theory to specefic topological spaces with G-invariant covering, whereby persistence over quotient space can be canonically…

Time series data of atmospheric CO2 levels is highly autocorrelated with multiple timescale variations. In recent years, the data shows a persistent increase in these levels. To understand this persistence, we use enzyme activity and biological growth as analogous phenomena and draw comparisons with the atmospheric CO2…

Recent work (J. Chem. Phys. 154, 114114) has demonstrated that sublevelset persistent homology provides a compact representation of the complex features of an energy landscape in $3N$-dimensions. This includes information about all transition paths between local minima (connected by critical points of index > 1), and…

Porous organic cages (POCs) are a class of porous molecular materials characterised by their tunable, intrinsic porosity; this functional property makes them candidates for applications including guest storage and separation. Typically formed via dynamic covalent chemistry reactions from multifunctionalised molecular…

Lifelong learning occurs on timescales ranging from minutes to decades. People can lose themselves in a new skill, practicing for hours until exhausted. And they can pursue mastery over days or decades, perhaps abandoning old skills entirely to seek out new challenges. A full understanding of learning requires an…

Continual learning systems will interact with humans, with each other, and with the physical world through time – and continue to learn and adapt as they do. An important open problem for continual learning is a large-scale benchmark which enable realistic evaluation of algorithms. In this paper, we study a natural…
