Short telomeres drive pessimistic judgement bias in zebrafish

Research bias in judgement bias studies – a systematic review of valuation judgement literature

Valuation judgement bias has been a research topic for several years due to its proclaimed effect on valuation accuracy. However, little is known on the emphasis of literature on judgement bias, with regard to, for instance, research methodologies, research context and robustness of research evidence. A synthesis of available research will establish consistency in the current knowledge base on ...

Treatment bias and clinical judgement.

Short Telomeres in Key Tissues Initiate Local and Systemic Aging in Zebrafish.

Telomeres shorten with each cell division and telomere dysfunction is a recognized hallmark of aging. Tissue proliferation is expected to dictate the rate at which telomeres shorten. We set out to test whether proliferative tissues age faster than non-proliferative due to telomere shortening during zebrafish aging. We performed a prospective study linking telomere length to tissue pathology and...

Dogs showing separation-related behaviour exhibit a ‘pessimistic’ cognitive bias

but rice will not make as effective use of the additional CO2 as would other C3 crops — those plants that, like 55% of grass species, have the basic mechanism of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation. An alternative is to change rice into a C4 plant, which could increase yield by up to 50% while using little or no more nitrogen or water. Although the challenges to such a venture are many and large, t...

Shift-Pessimistic Active Learning Using Robust Bias-Aware Prediction

Existing approaches to active learning are generally optimistic about their certainty with respect to data shift between labeled and unlabeled data. They assume that unknown datapoint labels follow the inductive biases of the active learner. As a result, the most useful datapoint labels—ones that refute current inductive biases— are rarely solicited. We propose a shift-pessimistic approach to a...
