Technical intelligence and culture: Nut cracking in humans and chimpanzees.
OBJECTIVES According to the technical intelligence hypothesis, humans are superior to all other animal species in understanding and using tools. However, the vast majority of comparative studies between humans and chimpanzees, both proficient tool users, have not controlled for the effects of age, prior knowledge, past experience, rearing conditions, or differences in experimental procedures. W...
متن کاملThe asymptotics of the moving contact line: Cracking an old nut
For contact line motion where the full Stokes flow equations hold, full matched asymptotic solutions using slip models have been obtained for droplet spreading and more general geometries. These solutions to the singular perturbation problem in the slip length, however, all involve matching through an intermediate region that is taken to be separate from the outer-inner regions. Here, we show t...
متن کاملCracking the therapeutic nut in mild cognitive impairment: better nuts and better nutcrackers.
Neurology® ●●● In this issue of Neurology, the results of a 48-week trial of donepezil in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are reported.1 Although the investigators found a statistically significant effect of donepezil on the modified Alzheimer disease (AD) Assessment Scale–cognitive (ADAS-cog), there was no benefit for donepezil-treated patients on the Clinical Dementia Rating Sca...
متن کاملCracking the nut of service-learning in nursing at a higher educational institution.
BACKGROUND The readiness of academics to engage in the service-learning (SL) institutionalisation process is not accentuated in research on SL institutionalisation in South Africa. The argument has been advanced that SL scholarship and willingness of key stakeholders are crucial for SL institutionalisation at the academic programme level. AIM The research focus of the study being reported her...
متن کاملKinematics and Energetics of Nut-Cracking in Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus libidinosus) in Piauı́, Brazil
Wild bearded capuchins (Cebus libidinosus, quadrupedal, medium-sized monkeys) crack nuts using large stones. We examined the kinematics and energetics of the nut-cracking action of two adult males and two adult females. From a bipedal stance, the monkeys raised a heavy hammer stone (1.46 and 1.32 kg, from 33 to 77% of their body weight) to an average height of 0.33 m, 60% of body length. Then, ...
