Abstract:
... Open-source research software is an important element of open science. While the number of software packages made available by researchers is increasing, there has been little analysis about their subsequent uptake. We collect basic information about prospective users when sharing our open-source sensitivity analysis toolbox. This enabled us to carry out a user survey to assess adoption success – ...

Abstract:
... Despite much recent interest, it is unclear which types of landmarks are best suited for survey knowledge acquisition. Thus, we investigated the accuracy of survey knowledge after the learning of sequentially visible (local) landmarks and simultaneously visible (global) landmarks from a first-person perspective during navigation through a virtual city. We also assessed systematically the role of w ...

Abstract:
... The Kuril-Kamchatka Trench is considered one of the five deepest trenches on the planet with depths over 10,000 m. It has been visited and surveyed by multiple ships over the years with different depth measurement results. Newly acquired multibeam echosounder data from RV Sonne cruise SO250 now confirmed what some of the historic surveys already stated. The Kuril-Kamchatka Trench does not reach de ...

Abstract:
... Our well-being is influenced by our notion of what constitutes a good life, a vital part of our identity. While pro-environmental behavior is often found to be positively related to individuals' well-being, our research delves into the extent to which this relationship is influenced by individuals' identity, measured both as green self-image and their notion of the good life in general. Using surv ...

Abstract:
... Manipulating the microbiome has enormous potential to treat important human diseases. Microbiome surveys are often used to identify potential therapeutic targets by finding associations between microbial elements and disease status. We argue that many reported associations between the microbiome and disease are incompatible with translational research because they are insufficiently specific. We e ...

Abstract:
... Divisions between political Liberals and Conservatives on environmental issues seem to be widening, with Liberals generally more pro-environmental than Conservatives. We propose that common framing of environmental messages tends to perpetuate these gaps. We designed two experiments to examine this assumption and explore the prospects of narrowing these divisions using communication based on moral ...

Research has begun to examine the effects one’s belief in their responsibility for and ability to affect environmental outcomes (i.e., internal environmental locus of control) can have on their performance of pro-environmental behavior. We build upon this research by suggesting that pro-environmental consumption decisions are shaped not only by ecological dispositions, such as internal environment ...

Abstract:
... Using survey data from the Afrobarometer, we document that respondents who live in areas where more people report having paid a bribe to access household services are more likely to have access to electricity. The existing literature suggests three mechanisms that could explain why more corruption increases access to electricity. Corruption could incentivize firms to operate in the shadow economy ...

We propose a novel methodology to select reliable Euler deconvolution estimates throughout the vertical derivatives of the total-field anomaly, grounded on the capability of this quantity to locate anomalies due to its higher signal decay with distance. In applying Euler deconvolution to a small moving-data window, we compute the standard deviation of the vertical derivatives of the total-field an ...
