Uncomfortable images produce non-sparse responses in amodel of primary visual cortex
(2015)The processing of visual information by the nervous system requires significant metabolic resources. To minimize the energy needed, our visual system appears to be optimized to encode typical natural images as efficiently ... -
Understanding Basic Music Theory
(Rice University, 2013)Although it is significantly expanded from "Introduction to Music Theory", this book still covers only the bare essentials of music theory. Music is a very large subject, and the advanced theory that students will want to ... -

Understanding the group dynamics and success of teams
(2016)Complex problems often require coordinated group effort and can consume significant resources, yet our understanding of how teams form and succeed has been limited by a lack of large-scale, quantitative data. We analyse ... -
Unexpected consequences of a drier world
(2015)The complexity of animal life histories makes it difficult to predict the consequences of climate change on their populations. In this paper, we show, for the first time, that longer summer drought episodes, such as those ... -
Unexpected monophyletic origin of Ephoron shigae unisexual reproduction strains and their rapid expansion across Japan
(2015)The burrowing polymitarcyid mayflyEphoron shigaeis distri-buted across Japan, Korea, northeast China and far east Russia. Some populations are bisexual, and others are unisexual, i.e. geographically parthenogenetic throughout ... -
The unexpected survival of an ancient lineage of anseriformbirds into the Neogene of Australia
(2016)Presbyornithids were the dominant birds in Palaeogene lacustrine assemblages, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, but are thought to have disappeared worldwide by the mid-Eocene. Now classified within Anseriformes ... -

(2015)Ricinulei are among the most obscure and cryptic arachnid orders, constituting a micro-diverse group with extreme endemism. The 76 extant species described to date are grouped in three genera:Ricinoides, from tropical ... -
The use of body condition and haematology to detect widespread threatening processes in sleepy lizards in two agricultural environments.
(2014)Agricultural practices, including habitat alteration and application of agricultural chemicals, can impact wildlife resulting in their decline. Determining which of these practices are contributing to declines is essential ... -
Use of elastic stability analysis to explain the stress-dependent nature of soil strength
(2015)The peak and critical state strengths of sands are linearly related to the stress level, just as the frictional resistance to sliding along an interface is related to the normal force. The analogy with frictional sliding ... -
Using LD the GNU linker
(Jeffrey Osier, 2010)Ld combines a number of object and archive files, relocates their data and ties up symbol references. Usually the last step in compiling a program is to run ld. ld accepts Linker Command Language files written in a superset ... -
Using prediction markets to forecast research evaluations
(The Royal Society, 2015)The 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF2014) was conducted to assess the quality of research carried out at higher education institutions in the UK over a 6 year period. However, the process was criticized for being ... -
Using simulation to evaluate wildlife survey designs
(2016)Logistically demanding and expensive wildlife surveys should ideally yield defensible estimates. Here, we show how simulation can be used to evaluate alternative survey designs for estimating wildlife abundance. Specifically, ... -
Variability of Wind and Wind Power
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)The installed capacity for wind power is increasing substantially in response to the worldwide interest in low-emissions power sources and a desire to decrease the dependence on petroleum. The European Union directive ... -
Variation in thermal stress response in two populations of the brown seaweed, Fucus distichus from the Arctic and subarctic intertidal
(2016)It is unclear whether intertidal organisms are ‘preadapted’ to cope with the increase of temperature and temperature variability or if they are currently at their thermal tolerance limits. To address the dichotomy, we ... -

Viewing images of snakes accelerates making judgements of their colour in humans
(2014)One of the most prevalent current psychobiological notions about human behaviour and emotion suggests that prioritization of threatening stimuli processing induces deleterious effects on task performance. In order to confirm ...
