A current debate exists as to whether locomotion on foot is guided by optic flow (the apparent motion of the world when the subject is moving) [1–4] or perceived direction [5]. Rushton et al. [5] have shown that the path taken by a participant wearing prism spectacles is described reasonably by a model predicting trajectory from visual direction. We repeated Rushton et al.’s [5] experiment but ...

and male alopecia [1–4] . The prerequisite for delivering appropriate patient care is an understanding of the pathologic dynamics of hair loss and a potential multitude of causal relationships. Once the diagnosis is certain, treatment appropriate for that diagnosis is likely to control the problem. Ultimately, the best way to alleviate the emotional distress related to hair loss is to effective...

Comments on the original article, "Intelligence: New findings and theoretical developments," by R. E. Nisbett, J. Aronson, C. Blair, W. Dickens, J. Flynn, D. F. Halpern, and E. Turkheimer (see record 2011-30298-001). The present authors assert Nisbett et al were incorrect when they claimed that between 1972 and 2002 there was a 5.5-point narrowing of the 15-point IQ gap between Blacks and White...

Mixing is a widely practiced operation to effect distribution, intermingling and homogeneity of matter. Stirred tanks with different geometries (such as in main container tanks, impellers, baffles, etc.) are also widely used to mix different materials. The forces applied by impellers develop overall circulation or bulk flow. Superimposed on this flow pattern, there are turbulent eddies and also...

In the 19th century measurements of cranial capacity by Morton and others supported a "Caucasoid>Mongoloid>Negroid" hierarchy of intelligence. This continued through most of the 20th century but was challenged by a nonhierarchical view originating with Boas. Beginning in the 1980s Rushton correlated cranial and IQ measurements and presented a hierarchy with "Mongoloids" at the top. Each of thes...

In three studies, we analyzed validation data from personality questionnaires to test whether a general factor of personality (GFP) occupies the apex of the multi-factorial hierarchy. In Study 1, we carried out a cross-val...
