This paper argues that believability is a more important dimension of information quality than accuracy because of what is called the representation gap between information and data, where “data” is defined as what is entered into an information system and “information” is defined as what is returned by the system in response to decision level queries. It provides an analysis of believability t...

Exosomes, as a mediator of cell-to-cell transfer of genetic information, act an important role in intercommunication between tumor cells and their niche including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, adipocytes and monocytes. Several studies have shown that tumor cells can influence their neighboring cells by releasing exosomes. These exosomes provide signaling cues for stimulation, activation, prol...

Environmental issues are an important aspect of party competition and voters’ political preferences. Yet behaviour research often considers environmental attitudes as a component broader ‘second-dimension’ either subsumes it into this or omits it. Using data from the fifth wave European Values Study, we demonstrate through factor analysis that environmentalism loads separate dimension across We...

Niche construction theory is a relatively new approach in evolutionary biology that seeks to integrate an ecological dimension into the Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection. It is regarded by many evolutionary biologists as providing a significant revision of the Neo-Darwinian modern synthesis that unified Darwin's theory of natural and sexual selection with 20th century populatio...
