Joint attention skills are an important part of human cultural learning. However, little is known about the emergence and meaning of these skills in early ontogeny. The development of, and relation among, various joint attention skills was assessed. Seventy-two 5 to 10-month-old infants were tested on a variety of joint attention tasks. Intercorrelations among these tasks were sparse, which put...

Although enterprise imaging and workflow systems provide distinct business benefits, selection and standardization of a single system or strategy is complicated by the plethora of products available and the diversity of business applications. This article's methodology provides a framework for evaluating imaging and workflow systems along two key parameters: functionality in terms of an organiz...

Cough-variant asthma is considered by some to be an asthma phenotype. Bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) is an undisputed feature of asthma. Of school-aged wheezers, 90% are atopic. Are school-aged coughers who demonstrate BDR also atopic? If so, then it would be reasonable to reserve the diagnosis cough-variant asthma for this particular group. Airway resistance was measured by the interrupte...

Expanding upon Pimbblet’s informative 2011 analysis of career h-indices for members of the Astronomical Society of Australia, we provide additional citation metrics which are geared to a) quantifying the current performance of b) all professional astronomers in Australia. We have trawled the staff web-pages of Australian Universities, Observatories and Research Organisations hosting professiona...

One hundred six infants participated in a longitudinal study of cognition-emotion integration exploring the effects of attentional control on regulation of negative affect across infancy. At both 5 and 10 months, attentional control was measured behaviorally (looking time to neutral stimulus), physiologically (cardiac reactivity), and with temperament-based parental ratings of orienting/regulat...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(24)H(16)BrN(3)OS(3), contains three approximately planar fragments, viz. an oxadiazole ring plus two adjacent thio-phene groups, and two phenothia-zine benzene rings, with largest deviations from the least-squares planes of 0.051 (3), 0.019 (4) and 0.014 (3) Å, respectively. The phenothia-zine unit adopts a butterfly conformation, with a dihedral angle of ...
