portable wireless neuro‑stimulators have been developed to facilitate long‑term cognitive and behavioral studies on the central nervous system in freely moving animals. these stimulators can provide precisely controllable input(s) to the nervous system, without distracting the animal attention with cables connected to its body. in this study, a low power backpack neuro‑stimulator was developed ...

Stereotypes are often presumed to exaggerate group differences, but empirical evidence is mixed. We suggest exaggeration is moderated by the accessibility of specific stereotype content. In particular, because the most accessible stereotype contents are attributes perceived to differ between groups, those attributes are most likely to exaggerate actual group differences due to regression to the...

Historically, the bodily senses have often been regarded as impeccable sources of spatial information and as being the teacher of vision. Here, the authors report that the haptic perception of slope by means of the foot is greatly exaggerated. The exaggeration is present in verbal as well as proprioceptive judgments. It is shown that this misperception of pedal slope is not caused by calibratio...

The article substantiates the relevance of reviewed work for fundamental sciences, practitioners (obstetricians, gynecologists, general surgeons, plastic colonoproctologists, venereologists, pathologists, forensic physicians, cosmetologists, urologists, sex therapists), clinical residents and a wide student audience. epochal nature publication Volgograd medical scientists is emphasized (without...

An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for plane waves propagating through stratified slabs. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is shown that it depends ...

11 This paper presents the 4DPlates, an application designed to display high resolution data and reconstruct their positions in the geologic past. 4DPlates makes use of level of detail (LoD) grids with a 4-8 tree structure to store the data so only the require resolution for a particular viewpoint is used. This facility means that the user can interact with large data sets on the fly, achieving...
