Introduction: The U.S. Navy is exploring new technologies aimed at improving maritime electro-optic and infrared imaging systems. Specific goals include the enhancement of day/night, wide-area situational awareness; improved detection, identification, and tracking capabilities; and increased system reliability. Developing an imaging system that can accomplish these objectives is a tremendous de...

Representation of search and target acquisition (STA) in military models and simulations arguably abstracts the most critical aspects of combat. This research focuses on the search aspect of STA for the unaided human eye. It is intuitive that an individual’s environmental characteristics and interpretation of the environment in the context of all comprehended information, commonly summarized as...

Researchers have proposed that immersion could have advantages for tasks involving abstract mental activities, such as conceptual learning; however, there are few empirical results that support this idea. We hypothesized that higher levels of immersion would benefit such tasks if the mental activity can be mapped to objects or locations in a 3D environment. To investigate this hypothesis, we pe...

This study was conducted to evaluate nursing documentation on patient hygienic care and to analyze the consistency between actual care given by nurses and that of documented in nursing record. Data were collected from 85 nurses employed at critical care units, on whom 255 sets of observations were performed through a structured participant observation form, which could be used to record the obs...

Hygienic macro systems, such as Scheme’s, automatically rename variables to prevent unintentional variable capture—in short, they “just work.” Yet hygiene has never been formally presented as a specification rather than an algorithm. According to folklore, the definition of hygienic macro expansion hinges on the preservation of alphaequivalence. But the only known notion of alpha-equivalence fo...

Honeybees have evolved a social immunity consisting of the cooperation of individuals to decrease disease in the hive. We identified a set of genes involved in this social immunity by analysing the brain transcriptome of highly varroa-hygienic bees, who efficiently detect and remove brood infected with the Varroa destructor mite. The function of these candidate genes does not seem to support a ...
