Carvalho, Luísa D.V., Stachel, Thomas, Pearson, D. Graham, Fuck, Reinhardt A., Jalowitzki, Tiago, Timmerman, Suzette, Steele-Maclnnis, Matthew, Gonçalves, Guilherme O., Pereira, Rogério Silvestre, Scholz, Ricardo
Abstract The lithospheric mantle underpinning the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province, southwestern São Francisco Craton, was investigated through a study of 82 diamonds and their mineral inclusions from the Coromandel (Douradinho River), Verde River (northern Coromandel), Abaeté, Frutal, and Romaria...

Path integration, rather than being suppressed, is used to update spatial views in familiar environments with constantly available landmarks
Download2023-01-01
This project tested three hypotheses conceptualizing the interaction between path integration based on self-motion and piloting based on landmarks in a familiar environment with persistent landmarks. The first hypothesis posits that path integration functions automatically, as in environments...

Disrupted Orientation After Path Integration by Absence of Anticipated Prevalent Spatial Views
Download2024-01-01
Two previous studies indicated that removing expected landmarks disrupts homing, a new phenomenon concerning the interplay between path integration and landmark-based navigation. This study systematically investigated when this disruption occurs, which spatial representations are disrupted, and...

Disasters caused by extreme weather and human-initiated events continue to disproportionately impact vulnerable and underserved communities. While these communities often rely on public transit to travel, most North American jurisdictions still lack a fundamental understanding of equity-centered...

Electric vehicles in emergencies and evacuations: a review of resilience and future research directions
Download2024-10-21
Babaei, Mohammad Hossein, Wong, Stephen D.
Disasters often require large-scale evacuations, and damage key infrastructure (e.g., power, transportation). With growing electric vehicle (EV) adoption and electrification of transportation, governments and utilities may face significant power challenges during disasters, especially during the...

Wong, Andy H., Sharma, Davesh, Kilani, Omar, Rad, Faeze Momeni, Wong, Stephen D., Kwon, Tae J., El-Basyouny, Karim
Inclement winter weather poses a safety risk to all road users, primarily due to roads covered with snow or ice and substantially reduced visibility. The winter road maintenance vehicles used are often larger and slower moving than the surrounding traffic and often become a hazard themselves. To...

Marentette, P., Laurent, A., Nicoladis, E.
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of linguistic dominance on gesture use in bilingual children. Twenty bilingual children aged between 6 and 10 years old were split into two groups regarding their familiarity with storytelling and were videotaped when they told back the...

Abstract Boron is a quintessential crustal element but its conspicuous presence in diamond – a mantle mineral – raises questions about potential subduction pathways for boron and other volatiles. It has been a long-standing goal to characterize the isotopic composition of boron in blue,...
