Abstract Volcanologists frequently use grain size distributions (GSDs) in tephra layers to infer eruption parameters. However, for long-past eruptions, the accuracy of reconstruction depends upon correspondence between initial deposit and preserved layer on which inferences are based. We ask: how closely does GSD a decades-old resemble from it originated? addressed this question with study prod...

Experimental evidence suggests that emotions can both speed-up and slow-down the internal clock. Speeding up has been observed for to-be-timed emotional stimuli that have the capacity to sustain attention, whereas slowing down has been observed for to-be-timed neutral stimuli that are presented in the context of emotional distractors. These effects have been explained by mechanisms that involve...

Personal development groups or “group processes” are used in most counselling and psychotherapy trainings, but little is understood about how trainees change their experience descriptions of them over time. This study collected qualitative surveys (N = 70) from two master's students 35), at the mid- end point first year training, to find out whether group process changed. We content analysis co...

Abstract Influencing policy is an important scaling mechanism. However, if a program to plausibly claim that it has or can influence policy, needs explain how. This not straightforward because of the complex nature change. Scholars suggest use theory help answer ‘how’ question. In this article, we show how, in practice, middle-range change theory—Kingdon’s Policy Window theory—helped us model w...

Naturally, neuroscientists look at the brain from the outside when measuring how the flow of information unfolds over space and time. A neuron, on the other hand, can only 'see' through its connections, and they are spatiotemporally limited. Hence, the neural processing hierarchy from the neuroscientist's perspective and the hierarchy from the perspective of individual neurons do not agree. In ...
