The well-worn path

The Well-Worn Route and the Path Less Traveled Distinct Neural Bases of Route Following and Wayfinding in Humans

Finding one's way in a large-scale environment may engage different cognitive processes than following a familiar route. The neural bases of these processes were investigated using functional MRI (fMRI). Subjects found their way in one virtual-reality town and followed a well-learned route in another. In a control condition, subjects followed a visible trail. Within subjects, accurate wayfindin...

Well-founded Path Orderings for Operads

The definition herein of the Graph Path Ordering (GPO) on certain graph expressions is inspired by that of the Recursive Path Ordering (RPO), and enjoys all those properties that have made RPO popular, in particular, well-foundedness and monotonicity on variable-free terms. We are indeed interested in a generalization of algebraic expressions called operadic expressions, which are finite graphs...

The development of a Spanish language version of the Worn Out scale of the General Well-Being Questionnaire (GWBQ).

The paper describes the development of a short Spanish-language version of the General Well-Being Questionnaire (GWBQ; Cox and Gotts, 1987), based on the 12 items of its Worn Out scale. Research has shown the English-version Worn Out scale to be sensitive to aspects of the design and management of work. This study aimed to test its cross-cultural consistency in a Spanish-language workplace cont...

A Worn-Out Welcome

A 298 W hen Iceland became the first country to ban most forms of asbestos in 1983, 1 global use hovered around 4.3–4.7 million metric tons per year. 2 Twenty-five years later, with several dozen countries now implementing some form of ban, 1 that number had dropped to 2.1 million metric tons. 3 Today, while demand has plummeted in most developed countries, it continues to rise in those countri...
