Variable success in audiometric assessment of young children with operant conditioning indicates the need for systematic examination of commonly employed techniques. The current study investigated response and reinforcement features of two operant discrimination paradigms with normal I7-month-old children. Findings indicated more responses prior to the onset of habituation when the response task was based on complex central processing skills (localization and coordination of auditory/visual space) versus simple detection. Use of animation in toy reinforcers resulted in more than a twofold increase in the number of subject responses. Results showed no significant difference in response conditioning rate or consistency for the response tasks and forms of reinforcement examined.

Abstract Determining the mechanism by which high-mass stars are formed is essential for our understanding of the energy budget and chemical evolution of galaxies. By using the New IRAM KIDs Array 2 (NIKA2) camera on the Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimétrique (IRAM) 30-m telescope, we have conducted high-sensitivity and large-scale mapping of a fraction of the Galactic plane in order to search for signatures of the transition between the high- and low-mass star-forming modes. Here, we present the first results from the Galactic Star Formation with NIKA2 (GASTON) project, a Large Programme at the IRAM 30-m telescope which is mapping ≈2 deg2 of the inner Galactic plane (GP), centred on ℓ = 23${_{.}^{\circ}}$9, b = 0${_{.}^{\circ}}$05, as well as targets in Taurus and Ophiuchus in 1.15 and 2.00 mm continuum wavebands. In this paper we present the first of the GASTON GP data taken, and present initial science results. We conduct an extraction of structures from the 1.15 mm maps using a dendrogram analysis and, by comparison to the compact source catalogues from Herschel survey data, we identify a population of 321 previously-undetected clumps. Approximately 80 per cent of these new clumps are 70 μm-quiet, and may be considered as starless candidates. We find that this new population of clumps are less massive and cooler, on average, than clumps that have already been identified. Further, by classifying the full sample of clumps based upon their infrared-bright fraction – an indicator of evolutionary stage – we find evidence for clump mass growth, supporting models of clump-fed high-mass star formation.

Nanopores have a unique advantage for detecting biomolecules in a label-free fashion, such as DNA that can be synthesized into specific structures to perform computations. This method has been considered for the detection of diseased molecules. Here, we propose a novel marker molecule detection method based on DNA logic gate by deciphering a variable DNA tetrahedron structure using a nanopore. We designed two types of probes containing a tetrahedron and a single-strand DNA tail which paired with different parts of the target molecule. In the presence of the target, the two probes formed a double tetrahedron structure. As translocation of the single and the double tetrahedron structures under bias voltage produced different blockage signals, the events could be assigned into four different operations, i.e., (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), according to the predefined structure by logic gate. The pattern signal produced by the AND operation is obviously different from the signal of the other three operations. This pattern recognition method has been differentiated from simple detection methods based on DNA self-assembly and nanopore technologies.
