Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.0K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Reconstruction of Single-Cell Innate Fluorescence Signatures by Confocal Microscopy

3.1K
Here, a protocol is presented for optically extracting and cataloging innate cellular fluorescence signatures (i.e., cellular autofluorescence) from every individual live cell distributed in a three-dimensional space. This method is suitable for studying the innate fluorescence signature of diverse biological systems at a single-cell resolution, including cells from bacteria, fungi, yeasts, plants, and...

Testing for Odor Discrimination and Habituation in Mice

18.7K
This manuscript describes a protocol to examine the olfactory system of rodents. The olfactory habituation/dishabituation test will allow investigators to determine whether a mouse habituates to a repeatedly presented odor and whether the mouse demonstrates dishabituation when presented a novel odor.

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction

1.4K
Generalization, discrimination, and extinction are key concepts in operant conditioning that influence how behaviors are learned and maintained.
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

Price Discrimination under Monopoly01:25

Price Discrimination under Monopoly

2.3K
Price discrimination under monopoly refers to the practice where a monopolist charges different prices for the same product or service to different customers or in different markets. This strategy allows the monopolist to capture more consumer surplus, turning it into additional profits. For price discrimination to be effective, three conditions must be met: 1) the firm must have market power, 2) the firm must have the ability to separate markets or customers, and 3)  the firm faces...

The Measurement of Unsteady Surface Pressure Using a Remote Microphone Probe

7.3K
Here, we present a protocol to measure, with high spatial resolution, the unsteady surface pressure in turbulent flows. This method demonstrates the construction of a remote microphone probe (RMP) and the determination of its frequency-dependent, complex transfer function. An analytical determination of the dynamic response is presented and...

    Summary

    Near-infrared remote photoplethysmography (PPG) offers dark environment monitoring. A new method, DIScriminative signature based extraction (DIS), enhances pulse rate measurement in NIR despite weaker signals and motion artifacts.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Optical Sensing
    • Physiological Monitoring

    Background:

    • Near-infrared (NIR) remote photoplethysmography (PPG) enables unobtrusive vital signs monitoring using invisible light, ideal for low-light conditions.
    • However, NIR-PPG signals exhibit lower strength (AC/DC ratio) compared to RGB, posing challenges for robust vital signs extraction.
    • Existing methods struggle with signal quality degradation due to motion artifacts and inherent signal weakness in the NIR spectrum.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel PPG extraction method, DIScriminative signature based extraction (DIS), specifically designed to enhance pulse rate measurement accuracy in the NIR spectrum.
    • To address the challenges of low signal strength and motion artifacts in NIR-PPG monitoring.
    • To provide a robust and generally applicable solution for vital signs monitoring in challenging environments.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a new PPG extraction technique named DIScriminative signature based extraction (DIS).
    • Utilized both color signals (reflecting blood absorption variations) and disturbance signals as inputs for PPG extraction.
    • Employed a discriminative signature and one-step least-squares regression (joint optimization) to simultaneously extract the pulsatile component and suppress disturbances.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated significant improvement in pulse rate measurement accuracy using the DIS method in NIR.
    • Successfully retrieved the pulsatile component while effectively suppressing disturbance signals.
    • Validated the method's efficacy in a large-scale laboratory experiment involving heavy body motions.

    Conclusions:

    • The DIS method offers a significant advancement for pulse rate measurement using NIR-PPG, particularly in the presence of motion artifacts.
    • The technique's ability to leverage color and disturbance signals provides a robust approach to overcome the limitations of weak NIR-PPG signals.
    • DIS is a simple, generally applicable, and effective method for improving vital signs monitoring in challenging, low-light conditions.
