01 Nov 2011TL;DR: A probabilistic topic models approach to automatically extract urban patterns from location-based social network data is tested and it is found that the extracted patterns can identify hotspots in the city, and recognize a number of major crowd behaviors that recur over time and space in the urban scenario.
Abstract: Social networks attract lots of new users every day and absorb from them information about events and facts happening in the real world. The exploitation of this information can help identifying mobility patterns that occur in an urban environment as well as produce services to take advantage of social commonalities between people. In this paper we set out to address the problem of extracting urban patterns from fragments of multiple and sparse people life traces, as they emerge from the participation to social network. To investigate this challenging task, we analyzed 13 millions Twitter posts (3 GB) of data in New York. Then we test upon this data a probabilistic topic models approach to automatically extract urban patterns from location-based social network data. We find that the extracted patterns can identify hotspots in the city, and recognize a number of major crowd behaviors that recur over time and space in the urban scenario.

TL;DR: These data show both similarities and differences between the brain patterns of activity related to the observation of noxious or disgusting stimuli, suggesting that areas involved in sensory aspects of pain are specifically triggered by observing noxious events.
Abstract: Looking at still images of body parts in situations that are likely to cause pain has been shown to be associated with activation in some brain areas involved in pain processing. Because pain involves both sensory components and negative affect, it is of interest to explore whether the visually evoked representations of pain and of other negative emotions overlap. By means of event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, here we compare the brain areas recruited, in female volunteers, by the observation of painful, disgusting, or neutral stimuli delivered to one hand or foot. Several cortical foci were activated by the observation of both painful and disgusting video clips, including portions of the medial prefrontal cortex, anterior, mid-, and posterior cingulate cortex, left posterior insula, and right parietal operculum. Signal changes in perigenual cingulate and left anterior insula were linearly related to the perceived unpleasantness, when the individual differences in susceptibility to aversive stimuli were taken into account. Painful scenes selectively induced activation of left parietal foci, including the parietal operculum, the postcentral gyrus, and adjacent portions of the posterior parietal cortex. In contrast, brain foci specific for disgusting scenes were found in the posterior cingulate cortex. These data show both similarities and differences between the brain patterns of activity related to the observation of noxious or disgusting stimuli. Namely, the parietal cortex appears to be particularly involved in the recognition of noxious environmental stimuli, suggesting that areas involved in sensory aspects of pain are specifically triggered by observing noxious events.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate what factors are required in order to succeed in project-based cultural industries, focusing on the effects of relational stability and reputation on two key dimensions of movies' success: commercial success and artistic merit.
Abstract: We investigate what factors are required in order to succeed in project-based cultural industries. In particular, we focus on the effects of relational stability and reputation on two key dimensions of movies’ success: commercial success and artistic merit. We combine the two dimensions of films’ performance for a more accurate understanding of how authenticity and artistic merit are manufactured in the movie industry. We examine this question by analysing a sample of Italian films and focusing on the role of the film director. We argue that commercial success is favoured by a director's strong vertical ties (with producers and distributors) and economic reputation, while artistic merit is positively affected by a director's weak horizontal ties (with other creative partners) and artistic reputation. We propose an explanation in terms of varying degrees of task routineness and we use it to account for the divergence between our results and others in the cultural and organizational literature.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that while molecular analysis is an important tool for understanding phylogeny, an integrative and comparative approach using both molecular and morphological data is necessary to better elucidate evolutionary relationships.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analyses show that Platyhelminthes consist of the two clades Catenulida and Rhabditophora and identify Bothrioplanida as the long-sought closest free-living sister group of the parasitic Neodermata, and resolve Rhabdocoela as the most basally branching euneoophoran taxon.
