What does global mean temperature tell us about local climate?
The subject of climate feedbacks focuses attention on global mean surface air temperature (GMST) as the key metric of climate change. But what does knowledge of past and future GMST tell us about the climate of specific regions? In the context of the ongoing UNFCCC process, this is an important question for policy-makers as well as for scientists. The answer depends on many factors, including t...
متن کاملVoluntary muscle activation is impaired by core temperature rather than local muscle temperature.
Fatigue during hyperthermia may be due in part to a failure of the central nervous system to fully activate the working muscles. We investigated the effects of passive hyperthermia on maximal plantar flexor isometric torque (maximal isometric voluntary contraction) and voluntary activation to determine the roles of local skin temperature, core temperature, and peripheral muscle temperature in f...
متن کاملAdaptation to number operates on perceived rather than physical numerosity.
Humans share with many animals a number sense, the ability to estimate rapidly the approximate number of items in a scene. Recent work has shown that like many other perceptual attributes, numerosity is susceptible to adaptation. It is not clear, however, whether adaptation works directly on mechanisms selective to numerosity, or via related mechanisms, such as those tuned to texture density. T...
متن کاملTransitive responding in animals and humans: Exaptation rather than adaptation?
In order to survive and reproduce, individual animals need to navigate through a multidimensional utility landscape in a near-optimal way. There is little doubt that the behaviourally more advanced species can bring cognitive competencies to bear on this difficult task. Among the cognitive abilities that are helpful in this context is transitive inference. This is typically the competency to de...
متن کاملMean and variance adaptation within the MLLR framework
One of the key issues for adaptation algorithms is to modify a large number of parameters with only a small amount of adaptation data. Speaker adaptation techniques try to obtain near speaker dependent (SD) performance with only small amounts of speaker speciic data, and are often based on initial speaker independent (SI) recognition systems. Some of these speaker adaptation techniques may also...
