Contemporary experimental psychology is shifting away from constrained laboratory settings to tasks that more closely resemble real-world behavior. Traditional experiments often present stimuli at fixed screen locations, which restricts the use of active vision involving eye movements integral to the neural processes underlying perception, attention, and memory. Recent research has highlighted the

Energy-efficient and cost-effective water desalination systems can significantly replenish freshwater reserves without further stressing limited energy resources. Currently, the majority of the desalination systems are operated by non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuel power plants. The viability of any desalination process depends primarily on the type and amount of energy it utilizes a
We envision a future in which multi-antenna technology effectively exploits the spatial domain as a set of non-interfering orthogonal resources, allowing for flexible resource allocation and efficient modulation/demodulation. We may refer to this paradigm as orthogonal space-division multiplexing (OSDM). On the other hand, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has emerged as a promising technol
Production and use of growing media involve a trade-off between sustainability and public health. We claim that a paradigm shift is needed, focusing on properties supporting environmental sustainability and human health, with a holistic approach involving One Health expertise. We use Legionella in growing media, soil, and gardening as an example to highlight key knowledge gaps.
Our research aims to develop an intelligent control system for optimizing the operation of lighting systems for a jogging track in the countryside by using adaptive control methods, and optimization of built-in lighting control. Through this, lighting systems will be optimized, energy consumption will be minimized and the lighting system will be adapted to be able to handle a larger amount of loca
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a perplexing condition in women characterized by cessation of oocyte production in the ovaries. Despite numerous proposed causes for the development of POF, the actual cause of the most POF cases remains unknown. Given that POF significantly affects fertility and is a devastating diagnosis for women, there is an urgent need for the development of new therapies ai
Butterflies and moths have often been suggested as suitable indicators for monitoring environmental effects on biodiversity, land use changes and management practices, and many butterfly monitoring schemes are established and run in Europe. In these monitoring programmes, the field counts are only carried out when certain, standard weather conditions considered favourable for butterflies are met.
Supersonic combustion is a critical area of research for advancing high-speed flight technologies, particularly for the development of scramjet engines for hypersonic vehicles. This study employs Finite Rate Chemistry (FRC) Large Eddy Simulation (LES) together with different experimental techniques to study the supersonic flow and thermochemical processes in the Small Scale Flight Experiment (SSFE
Aims/hypothesis: An intronic variant (rs10830963) in MTNR1B (encoding the melatonin receptor type 2 [MT2]) has been shown to strongly associate with impaired glucose regulation and elevated type 2 diabetes prevalence. However, MTNR1B missense variants have shown conflicting results on type 2 diabetes. Thus, we aimed to gain further insights into the impact of MTNR1B coding variants on type 2 diabe
It is common for a system integrator to make use of third party intellectual property (IP) blocks from multiple vendors in the design of a circuit. These IPs may include test features, known as instruments, which are connected to a reconfigurable scan network, such as an IEEE Std. 1687 (IJTAG) network, for efficient on-chip integration and communication.Using third party instruments this way becom
In a recent article in TiCS, Lind and Jon-And [1] argued that the sequence memory of animals constitutes a cognitive bottleneck, the ‘sequence bottleneck’, and that mental simulations require faithful representation of sequential information. They therefore concluded that animals cannot perform mental simulations, and that behavioral and neurobiological studies suggesting otherwise are best interp
Semiconductors use on-chip components, referred to as instruments, for test, debugging, firmware programming, configuration and other important functions. The instruments are needed to ensure proper device operation, however, they may be exploited by an adversary in an attack. With many different actors involved in semiconductor development and manufacturing, it becomes important to restrict acces
Billions of animals undertake migratory journeys every year, with powerful consequences for ecosystem dynamics. Key behaviours that enable successful migration are often guided by the visual system. The amount and quality of information that animals can extract from visual scenes are directly related to structural eye size—larger eyes can house larger pupils, enhancing light-gathering capacity and
Extraordinary finds from the Store Frigård cremation cemetery on the Danish island of Bornholm suggest that the society that used the site played a key role in supra-regional contacts and in the distribution of goods and people across the Baltic Sea between the Continent and Southern Scandinavia during the Iron Age.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate bony fusion with Low Dose CT (LDCT) over time following posterior scoliosis surgery in an all screw construct in patients with AIS with special focus on whether the spinal fusion process continue to develop beyond 2 years after scoliosis surgery and to evaluate if LDCT is an adequate radiological method to assess fusion maturation. Methods: Twenty fiv
IMPORTANCE Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) has been associated with a lower incidence of cancer and reduced weight gain. These associations suggest a potential role for the MedDiet in lowering the risk of obesity-related cancers (ORCs). Obesity is a known risk factor for various cancers and shows an inverse association with MedDiet adherence. OBJECTIVE To examine the association betw
We hypothesize that auditory and motor entrainment evolved in early hominin fetuses in direct response to their mothers’ bipedal footsteps and, later, contributed to the evolution of music and language via two related processes. First, selection for bipedalism transformed feet from grasping into weight-bearing organs, which negatively affected infants’ ability to cling to their mothers, provoking
