The characteristic mobility of highland populations in Southeast Asia relied to a large extent on their particular adaption an ecological environment: swidden cultivation tubers mountain slopes. This ecology corresponded cosmologies which potency was limitless, or at least had no fixed and delimited precinct (as did the rice paddies Buddhist realms valleys). Military state building, modern tran...

secondary metabolites present in plants and microorganisms generally arise from oxidative coupling and/or pericyclic reactions. In the field of alkaloids, such compounds often exhibit biological activities dramatically increased, when compared with the corresponding monomeric units, as illustrated by anticancer heterodimeric bisindole alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine, and curarizing homodi...

The affect system has been shaped by the hammer and chisel of adaptation and natural selection such that form follows function. The characteristics of the system thus differ across the nervous system as a function of the unique constraints existent at each level. For instance, although physical limitations constrain behavioral expressions and incline behavioral predispositions toward a bipolar ...

One current response to group work is that in publications addressed to management, work designers, and corporate consultants, the main interest seems to lie in process-related support of cooperation (e.g., training and moderating of group processes), in order to enable or select cooperation-oriented workers (e.g., Salas, Cooke, & Rosen, 2008; Tannenbaum, Salas, & Cannon-Bowers, 1996). It is ar...

There is a compelling simplicity to the theoretical approach to moral judgment proposed by Gray, Young, and Waytz (this issue; henceforth GYW). On 10 their approach, all that is needed to account for the large body of empirical findings on moral judgment is a description of the prototypical moral encounter—a moral agent who brings harm to a moral patient. This is what psychological theorizing o...

A common assumption of theories of memory is that the meaning of a word can be represented by a vector which places a word as a point in a multidimensional semantic space (e.g. Landauer & Dumais, 1997; Burgess & Lund, 2000; Osgood, Suci, & Tannenbaum, 1957). Representing words as vectors in a multidimensional space allows simple geometric operations such as the Euclidian distance or the angle b...

In this work, we present an approach to jointly segment a rigid object in a 2D image and estimate its 3D pose, using the knowledge of a 3D model. We naturally couple the two processes together into a unique energy functional that is minimized through a variational approach. Our methodology differs from the standard monocular 3D pose estimation algorithms since it does not rely on local image fe...

This study examined linguistic patterns in the Jewish ultra-Orthodox community in Israel, a group that has rarely been studied from a sociolinguistic perspective. Participants were 92 girls, 10-12 years old, who attend a school where Yiddish is the language of instruction and Hebrew, Israel’s official language, is studied only in religious contexts. Results show that the girls use and prefer to...

This study investigated the effect of the disability labels learning disabilities (LD) and emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) on public school general education and special education teachers’ willingness to refer students to gifted programs. Results indicated that teachers were significantly influenced by the LD and EBD labels when making referrals to gifted programs. Both groups of teac...
