Chemical Fallout: Current Research on Persistent Pesticides

Paul Ehrlich is really Paul Revere. As he gallops verbally through our society, he warns us of the enemy rapidly approaching. The enemy, much more deadly than the British Redcoats, is in fact, global ecological catastrophe caused by the unbridled increase in the human population, the wanton and gluttonous utilization of the earth's precious and limited resources, and the careless despoliation o...

Hits and misses: leveraging tDCS to advance cognitive research

The popularity of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in basic, commercial, and applied settings grew tremendously over the last decade. Here, we focus on one popular neurostimulation method: transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Many assumptions regarding the outcomes of tDCS are based on the results of stimulating motor cortex. For instance, the primary motor cortex is predict...

Player Profiling with Fallout

In previous research we concluded that a personality profile, based on the Five Factor Model, can be constructed from observations of a player’s behavior in a module that we designed for Neverwinter Nights (Lankveld et al. 2011a). In the present research, we investigate whether we can do the same thing in an actual modern commercial video game, in this case the game Fallout 3. We stored automat...

Fallout FALLOUT FORECASTS IN SURFACE AND UNDER WATER BURSTS

‘The increased efficiency with which superweapons disperse radioactive materials is to some extent counter-acted by the delay in arrival of fallout from the high source cloud and the rapid rate of decay which occurs in the interim.’ – R.L. Stetson, E.A. Schuert, W.W. Perkins, T.H. Shirasawa, and H.K. Chan, Distribution and Intensity of Fallout, Operation Castle, Project 2.5a, U.S. Naval Radiolo...
