Neurons in the macaque Anterior Intraparietal area (AIP) encode depth structure in random-dot stimuli defined by gradients of binocular disparity, but the importance of binocular disparity in real-world objects for AIP neurons is unknown. We investigated the effect of binocular disparity on the responses of AIP neurons to images of real-world objects during passive fixation. We presented stereo...

Blue gourami fish have a pair of modified ventral fins that are used to obtain tactile information about surrounding objects. Use of ventral fins by blue gourami was investigated during initial exploration of novel objects. When exposed to a sequence of novel plastic objects, varying in shape and colour, the blue gourami showed preferential use of the left fin during initial contacts. Lateralit...

In this paper, I give an account, in terms of centering theory [GJW86], of some phenomena of pronominalization in Italian, in particular the use of the null or the overt pronoun in subject position. After a general introduction to the Italian pronominal system, I will review centering, and then show how the original rules given in [GJW86] have to be extended or modified. Finally, I will show th...

Considerable evidence indicates that preverbal infants expect that only physical contact can cause an inanimate object to move. However, very few studies have investigated infants' expectations about the source of causal power. In three experiments, we found that (a) 10- and 12-month-old infants expect a human hand, and not an inanimate object, to be the primary cause of an inanimate object's m...

Background: Fetishism is a type of paraphilia. The focus of sexual arousal in fetishism is oriented towards inanimate objects. Sexual arousal and craving are some of the reasons the youth resort to crystal (glass). Drug abuse may cause disorders in sexual function. Case Report: The patient was a 41 years old man. He married in age 22 years and experienced frequent intercourses with his wife fro...

In this article, we present and analyse the concept of Digital Twin (DT) linked to distinct types objects (artefacts, natural, inanimate or living) examine challenges involved in creating them from a fundamental neuroethics approach that emphasises conceptual analyses. We begin by providing brief description DTs their initial development as models artefacts physical objects, identifying core bu...

SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted by contacting; however, the virus so active that it can attach to objects and be from humans via such contacting. The virus, which spreads through some living or inanimate-mediated processes, more dangerous. On basis of routine contact transmission infectious diseases, this paper further discusses scope efficiency diseases with indirect transmission. Through study two ...

Development of antibiotic resistance is a major challenge for antibiotics as an effective treatment approach infectious diseases and pathogenic microbes with to will become difficult be treated. Therefore, new therapy method, which safe can inactivate effectively without developing resistance, highly needed. Ultraviolet irradiation well known its ability microbial inactivation it widely used in...

Disinfection is defined as the destruction of microorganisms, not necessarily destroy all microbes but may reducing them to an acceptable level. Thus, it could stop chain bugs transmission avoid infections. Antimicrobials are divided into antimicrobial agents and antibiotics. Disinfectants or hand sanitizers used prevent microbial contamination on inanimate objects that present in environment; ...

Recent event-related potential studies report a P600 effect to incongruous verbs preceded by semantically associated inanimate noun-phrase (NP) arguments, e.g., "eat" in "At breakfast the eggs would eat...". This P600 effect may reflect the processing cost incurred when semantic-thematic relationships between critical verbs and their preceding NP argument(s) bias towards different interpretatio...
