Two studies explored children's understanding of how the presence of conflicting mental states in a single mind can lead people to act so as to subvert their own desires. Study 1 analyzed explanations by children (4--7 years) and adults of behaviors arising from this sort of 'Ulysses conflict' and compared them with their understanding of conflicting desires in different minds, as well as with ...

Abstract. Flux distributions and abundances relative to oxygen of interplanetary ions (Z > 1) are statistically studied and compared for measurements made at 1 and at ~ 5 AU on the ACE and the Ulysses spacecraft near the ecliptic plane. Over the nearly two year interval studied, the distributions of the relative abundances and the fluxes of particles at the two locations are found to be approxi...

The combination of the Voyager spacecraft in the outer heliosphere, Ulysses at high latitudes, and multiple solar wind monitors near Earth provides a unique opportunity to study the global structure and evolution of the solar wind. From solar minimum to solar maximum the latitudinal gradients of density and speed reverse so that at solar maximum speeds are higher near the solar equator, but sol...

[1] The kinetic properties of heavy ions in the solar wind reflect the plasma processes governing the solar wind in the heliosphere. We use Ulysses-SWICS data that resolve heavy ions in a wide range of mass-per-charge values, 2 m/q 9.33, to investigate the heavy ions and their dynamic evolution throughout the heliosphere. While at 1 AU the imprint of Coulomb collisions is known to be present in...

The nano-hole array structure in the black scales of the butterfly can be viewed as a natural solar collector. A low-cost, high-efficiency light absorption structure, inspired by the Papilio ulysses butterfly, was optimized using a finite-difference time-domain method. The results show that the nano-hole structure of Papilio ulysses contributes to light absorption. The shape of the holes affect...
