Linking unfounded beliefs to genetic dopamine availability

Unfounded convictions involving beliefs in the paranormal, grandiosity ideas or suspicious thoughts are endorsed at varying degrees among the general population. Here, we investigated the neurobiopsychological basis of the observed inter-individual variability in the propensity toward unfounded beliefs. One hundred two healthy individuals were genotyped for four polymorphisms in the COMT gene (...

Using Gate Sizing to Reduce Glitch Power

| With the growing scale of integration and the increased use of battery operated devices the power dissipation of CMOS circuits becomes an important factor in the design process. Power dissipation in CMOS-gates depends on the capacity switched and the transition density. Gate sizing is used to scale gates and their internal capacities. Smaller gates mean smaller capacities and therefore less p...

Follow the argument where it leads: Simonsohn’s criticisms on publication bias critiques are unfounded

Simonsohn (2012) argued that my recent publication bias critiques (Francis, 2012a,b,c,d,e,f, in press) are invalid. We both investigate consistency within a set of reported statistical findings to determine whether reported data are valid. Simonsohn recently analyzed cases where authors appeared to be fraudulently manipulating their data (Yong, 2012a,b), while I have focused on cases where publ...

On the Glitch Phenomenon

The Principle of the Glitch states that for any device which makes a discrete decision based upon a continuous range of possible inputs, there are inputs for which it will take arbitrarily long to reach a decision. The appropriate mathematical setting for studying this principle is described. This involves defining the concept of continuity for mappings on sets of functions. It can then be show...
