Studies investigating fertility decline in developing countries often adopt measures of determinants of fertility behavior developed based on observations from developed countries, without adapting them to the realities of the study setting. As a result, their findings are usually invalid, anomalous or statistically non-significant. This commentary draws on the research article by Moeeni and co...

The current meta-analysis examines the links between unresolved representations of attachment, anomalous parental behavior, and disorganized attachment relationships in 12 studies including 851 families. We found moderate effect sizes for the associations between unresolved states of mind and anomalous behavior (r = .26), unresolved states of mind and infant disorganized attachment relationship...

This paper deals with run-time detection and possible correction of erroneous and/or anomalous behavior in agents defined in datalogor prologbased logic languages. In particular, we augment our previous approaches by allowing an agent to explicitly observe and record its past behavior so as to be able to decide its best actions, detect anomalous behavior and try to dynamically correct detected ...

We consider simple extended dynamical systems with quenched disorder. It is shown that these systems exhibit anomalous transport properties such as the total suppression of chaotic diffusion and anomalous drift. The relation to random walks in random environments, in particular to the Sinai model, explains also the occurence of ageing in such dynamical systems. Anomalous transport is explained ...

Ferromagnetically-filled carbon nanotubes have been recently considered important candidates for application into data recording quantum disk devices. Achievement of high filling rates the ferromagnetic materials is particularly desirable applications. Here we report novel observation continuously filled along capillary with unusual μm-long faceted Fe3C nanowires. Anomalous magnetic features po...

An anomaly in differential scanning calorimetry has been reported in a number of metallic glass materials in which a broad exothermal peak was observed between the glass and crystallization temperatures. The mystery surrounding this calorimetric anomaly is epitomized by four decades long studies of Pd-Ni-P metallic glasses, arguably the best glass-forming alloys. Here we show, using a suite of ...
