This study examined the effect of familiarity with Huawei smartphone brand as a mediator between involvement and loyalty in China explored behavioral attitudinal two major components loyalty. An exploratory mixed-methods design grounded stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) framework entailed rounds interviews to build hypothetical framework, following which 403 Chinese users were surveyed test hy...

Quantum information processing is a rapidlymounting field that promises to accelerate the speed up ofcomputations. The field utilizes the novel fundamental rules ofquantum mechanics such as accelerations. Quantum states carry-ing quantum information are tempted to noise and decoherence,that’s why the field of quantum error control comes. In thispaper, we investigate vari...

The placozoan Trichoplax adhaerence is one of the most primitive multi-cellular organisms, and moves about accompanying perpetual changes in its shape. Changes in position, locomotion velocity and the outer shape of the organism were monitored quantitatively with use of a computer image analysis, and their dynamic patterns in free locomotion and upon feeding were analyzed in terms of non-linear...

Behavior-based artificial systems, e.g. mobile robots, are frequently designed using (various degrees and levels of) biology as inspiration, but rarely modeled based on actual quantitative empirical data. This paper presents a data-driven behavior-based model of a simple biological organism, the hydra. Four constituent behaviors were implemented in a simulated animal, and the overall behavior o...

Epigenetic modifications are investigated routinely and are one of the most rapidly growing components of molecular biology. Epigenetics has also been implicated in brain and behavior. Psychiatric disorders with complex etiologies have recently been attributed to specific epigenetic alterations in gene expression patterns leading up to behavioral maladaptations. This field has also provided a n...


 Humans are highly social creatures that form intricate relationships, which makes studying attachment an important part of behavioral neuroscience. These relationships can reinforce positive well-being, but also inflict psychological damage when broken. Monogamous species pair bonds, uncommon in the predominantly polygamous mammalian kingdom. Using prairie vole (Microtus orchogaster), ex...

Exposure to some toxic compounds causes structural and behavioral anomalies associated with the neurons in later stage of life. Those are termed as a neurotoxicant, which can be physical factor, toxin, an infection, radiation, or maybe drug. The incongruities caused due neurotoxicant further depend on toxicity compound. More importantly, neurotoxicity compound is concentration time point exposu...

Endogenous opioid peptides and their receptors are involved in the modulation of a variety of behavioral functions because of their relatively diffuse distribution in the CNS. Recent research suggests that endogenous opioids modulate incentive processes. Incentives are environmental resources that motivate the organism to behave. Incentive motivation is activated by expectancies which, in turn,...

The degree of behavioral control that an organism has over an aversive event is well known to modulate the behavioral and neurochemical consequences of exposure to the event. Here we review recent research that suggests that the experience of control over a potent stressor alters how the organism responds to future aversive events as well as to the stressor being controlled. More specifically, ...

In this paper we investigate the encoding of operator quantum error correcting codes i.e. subsystem codes. We show that encoding of subsystem codes can be reduced to encoding of a related stabilizer code making it possible to use all the known results on encoding of stabilizer codes. Along the way we also show how Clifford codes can be encoded. We also show that gauge qubits can be exploited to...
