How toddlers represent enclosed spaces
Recent findings indicate that toddlers can use geometric cues to locate an object hidden in a corner of a rectangular room after being disoriented [Cognition 61 (1996) 195]. It has been suggested that locating the object involves reestablishing one’s initial heading. The present experiments examine search behavior after disorientation. We find that toddlers go directly to a particular corner, i...
متن کاملBlast Brain Injury: Quantifying Axonal Injury Due to Primary Blast
This review includes a study of the cause of Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) by Group A Streptococci (GAS), the existing treatment of the infection, and the proposal of a novel therapy. The purpose of this review is to determine the microbiology and pathogenesis of NF in addition to how the treatment may be modified to best target the infecting pathogens. Existing treatments include rapid surgical d...
متن کاملBlast injury research models.
Blast injuries are an increasing problem in both military and civilian practice. Primary blast injury to the lungs (blast lung) is found in a clinically significant proportion of casualties from explosions even in an open environment, and in a high proportion of severely injured casualties following explosions in confined spaces. Blast casualties also commonly suffer secondary and tertiary blas...
متن کاملModelling the transmission of airborne infections in enclosed spaces.
The Wells-Riley equation for modelling airborne infection in indoor environments is incorporated into an SEIR epidemic model with a short incubation period to simulate the transmission dynamics of airborne infectious diseases in ventilated rooms. The model enables the effect of environmental factors such as the ventilation rate and the room occupancy to be examined, and allows the long-term imp...
متن کاملCoding location in enclosed spaces: is geometry the principle?
Both animals and human toddlers can find an object in a rectangular enclosure after they have been disoriented. They use geometric cues (relative lengths of walls) to discriminate among different corners (e.g. long wall to the left, short to the right). It has been claimed that this ability is 'modular', i.e. exclusively geometric. The present study demonstrates that the ability toddlers exhibi...
