Robust cell particle detection to dense regions and subjective training sampl...
: In recent years, finding the cause of pathogenesis is expected by observing the cell images. In this paper, we propose a cell particle detection method in cell images.... -
Spatial and topical imbalances in biodiversity research
The rapid erosion of biodiversity is among the biggest challenges human society is facing. Concurrently, major efforts are in place to quantify changes in biodiversity, to... -
The emergent integrated network structure of scientific research
Scientific research is often thought of as being conducted by individuals and small teams striving for disciplinary advances. Yet as a whole, this endeavor more closely... -
Heterogeneous groups overcome the diffusion of responsibility problem in soci...
Social norms promote cooperation in everyday life because many people are willing to negatively sanction norm breakers at a cost to themselves. However, a norm violation may... -
A funder-imposed data publication requirement seldom inspired data sharing
Growth of the open science movement has drawn significant attention to data sharing and availability across the scientific community. In this study, we tested the ability to... -
Building flux capacity: Citizen scientists increase resolution of soil greenh...
Though citizen science programs have been broadly successful in diverse scientific fields, their adoption has lagged in some disciplines, including soil science and ecosystem... -
Knowledge evolution in physics research: An analysis of bibliographic couplin...
Even as we advance the frontiers of physics knowledge, our understanding of how this knowledge evolves remains at the descriptive levels of Popper and Kuhn. Using the APS... -
Independent re-analysis of alleged mind-matter interaction in double-slit exp...
A two year long experimental dataset in which authors of Radin, et al., 2016 claim to find evidence of mind-matter interaction is independently re-analyzed. In this experiment,... -
Preference evaluation of ground beef by untrained subjects with three levels ...
After receiving bad publicity in 2012 and being removed from many ground beef products, finely textured beef (referred to as 'pink slime' by some) is making a comeback. Some of... -
