Biases in Personality Test Results
We studied the differences in perceived accuracy of general and specific personality test results in 89 participants. We hypothesized that participants receiving general feedback would rate their reliability higher than those receiving specific feedback. Each participant took a personality test, received either general or specific results, and then rated the accuracy of those results on a numbered scale. The participants who received general feedback, on average, thought the personality test âgot themâ the most. These results are important, because they show how people are willing to believe results that are vague because they tend to be more positive
Current antimicrobial use in farm animals in the Republic of Ireland
peer-reviewedAbstract
Antimicrobial resistance has been recognised as one of the most difficult challenges facing human and animal
health in recent decades. The surveillance of antimicrobial use in animal health plays a major role in dealing with
the growing issue of resistance. This paper reviews current data available on antimicrobial use in farmed animals in
the Republic of Ireland, including each of the major livestock production sectors; pigs, poultry, dairy, beef and
sheep. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify relevant published literature, and ongoing research
was identified through the network of authors and searches of each of the research databases of the main
agriculture funding bodies in Ireland. The varying quantities and quality of data available across each livestock
sector underlines the need for harmonisation of data collection methods. This review highlights the progress that
has been made regarding data collection in the intensive production sectors such as pigs and poultry, however, it
is clear there are significant knowledge gaps in less intensive industries such as dairy, beef and sheep. To comply
with European regulations an antimicrobial data collection system is due to be developed for all food-producing
animals in the future, however in the short-term surveillance studies have allowed us to build a picture of current
use within the Republic of Ireland. Further studies will allow us to fill current knowledge gaps and build a more
comprehensive overview of antimicrobial use in farm animals in Ireland
Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV: mapping the Milky Way, nearby galaxies, and the distant universe
We describe the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV), a project encompassing three major spectroscopic programs. The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2) is observing hundreds of thousands of Milky Way stars at high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratios in the near-infrared. The Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey is obtaining spatially resolved spectroscopy for thousands of nearby galaxies (median ). The extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) is mapping the galaxy, quasar, and neutral gas distributions between and 3.5 to constrain cosmology using baryon acoustic oscillations, redshift space distortions, and the shape of the power spectrum. Within eBOSS, we are conducting two major subprograms: the SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources (SPIDERS), investigating X-ray AGNs and galaxies in X-ray clusters, and the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS), obtaining spectra of variable sources. All programs use the 2.5 m Sloan Foundation Telescope at the Apache Point Observatory; observations there began in Summer 2014. APOGEE-2 also operates a second near-infrared spectrograph at the 2.5 m du Pont Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, with observations beginning in early 2017. Observations at both facilities are scheduled to continue through 2020. In keeping with previous SDSS policy, SDSS-IV provides regularly scheduled public data releases; the first one, Data Release 13, was made available in 2016 July

Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV: Mapping the Milky Way, Nearby Galaxies, and the Distant Universe
We describe the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV), a project encompassing
three major spectroscopic programs. The Apache Point Observatory Galactic
Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2) is observing hundreds of thousands of Milky
Way stars at high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio in the
near-infrared. The Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA)
survey is obtaining spatially-resolved spectroscopy for thousands of nearby
galaxies (median redshift of z = 0.03). The extended Baryon Oscillation
Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) is mapping the galaxy, quasar, and neutral gas
distributions between redshifts z = 0.6 and 3.5 to constrain cosmology using
baryon acoustic oscillations, redshift space distortions, and the shape of the
power spectrum. Within eBOSS, we are conducting two major subprograms: the
SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources (SPIDERS), investigating X-ray
AGN and galaxies in X-ray clusters, and the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey
(TDSS), obtaining spectra of variable sources. All programs use the 2.5-meter
Sloan Foundation Telescope at Apache Point Observatory; observations there
began in Summer 2014. APOGEE-2 also operates a second near-infrared
spectrograph at the 2.5-meter du Pont Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory,
with observations beginning in early 2017. Observations at both facilities are
scheduled to continue through 2020. In keeping with previous SDSS policy,
SDSS-IV provides regularly scheduled public data releases; the first one, Data
Release 13, was made available in July 2016
