We initiated the Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey in 2012 to observe each Kepler exoplanet candidate host star with high-angular-resolution visible-light laser-adaptive-optics imaging. Our goal is to find nearby stars lying in Kepler ’s photometric apertures that are responsible for the relatively high probability of false-positive exoplanet detections and that cause underestimates of ...

We investigated how people react emotionally to working with robots in three scenario-based role-playing survey experiments collected 2019 and 2020 from the United States (Study 1: N = 1003; Study 2: 969, 3: 1059). Participants were randomly assigned groups asked write a short post about scenario which we manipulated number of robot teammates or size social group (work team vs. organization). E...

A method for motion correction, involving both data collection and reconstruction, is presented. The PROPELLER MRI method collects data in concentric rectangular strips rotated about the k-space origin. The central region of k-space is sampled for every strip, which (a) allows one to correct spatial inconsistencies in position, rotation, and phase between strips, (b) allows one to reject data b...

A total of 969 birds representing 121 species of 21 families from the West African nations of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast were examined for haematozoa using thin blood smears; 277 individuals (28.6%) harbored blood parasites.
