(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 ...
Supervised learning from human performance at the computationally hard problemof optimal traffic signal control on a network of junctions
(2014)
Optimal switching of traffic lights on a network of junctions is a computationally intractable problem. In this research, road traffic networks containing signallized junctions are simulated. A computer game interface is ...
Forward flight of birds revisited. Part 1.
(2014)
This paper is the first part of the two-part exposition, addressing performance and dynamic stability of birds. The aerodynamic model underlying the entire study is presented in this part. It exploits the simplicity of the ...
Strong biomechanical constraints on young children’s mental imagery of hands
(2014)
Mental rotation (MR) of body parts is a useful paradigm to investigate how people manipulate mental imagery related to body schema. It has been documented that adult participants use ‘motor imagery’ for MR of hands: a ...
Repeatability in the contact calling systemof Spix’s disc winged bat
(2015)
Spix’s disc-winged bat (Thyroptera tricolor) forms cohesive groups despite using an extremely ephemeral roost, partly due to the use of two acoustic signals that help individuals locate roost sites and group members. While ...

Line D: Organizational Skills Competency D-3: Read Drawings and Specifications
(Campus Manitoba, 2016)
Some of the most important documents used in the workplace are the technical drawings, diagrams, and schematics that specify how fabrication and construction tasks will be carried out, or describe the composition and ...
Evidence for a bimodal distribution of hybrid indices in a hybrid zone with high admixture
(The Royal Society, 2015)
The genetic structure of a hybrid zone can provide insights into the relative roles of the various factors that maintain the zone. Here, we use a multilocus approach to characterize a hybrid zone between two subspecies of ...

The E music box
(The Royal Society, 2015)
Humans are assumed to have a natural universal predisposition for making music and for musical interaction. Research in this domain is, however, typically conducted with musically trained individuals, and therefore confounded ...
