And Behavior

The blast furnace campaign length is today usually restricted by the hearth life, which is strongly related to the drainage and behavior of the coke bed in the hearth, usually referred to as the dead man. Because the hearth is inaccessible and the conditions are complex, knowledge and understanding of the state of the dead man are still limited compared to other parts of the blast furnace process. Since a number of publications have studied different aspects of the dead man in the literature, the purpose of the current review is to compile the findings and knowledge in a comprehensive document. We mainly focus on contributions with respect to the dead man state, and those assessing its influence on the hearth performance in terms of liquid flow patterns, lining wear and drainage behavior. A set of common modeling approaches in this specific furnace area is also briefly presented. The aim of the review is also to deepen the understanding and stimulate further research on open questions related to the dead man in the blast furnace hearth.

The Way

Growing evidence points to a bidirectional relationship between spatial distance and level of mental representation, whereby distant (vs. near) events are represented by a higher level of representation, and higher levels of representations increase perceptions of distance. In the current article, we review research that establishes this association and explores its implications. We begin by briefly describing construal level theory, the theoretical framework that gives rise to this associative prediction, and then review a set of theory-consistent findings that serve to illuminate the way that spatial distance influences cognition and behavior and the way in which people make judgments about spatial distance. Finally, we discuss open questions for future research on spatial distance using a construal level theory approach.

It is widely accepted that bubbles are a necessary but insufficient condition for the development of decompression sickness. However, open questions remain regarding the precise formation and behavior of these bubbles after an ambient pressure reduction (decompression), primarily due to the inherent difficulty of directly observing this phenomenon in vivo. In decompression research, information about these bubbles after a decompression is gathered via means of ultrasound acquisitions. The ability to draw conclusions regarding decompression research using ultrasound is highly influenced by the variability of the methodologies and equipment utilized by different research groups. These differences play a significant role in the quality of the data and thus the interpretation of the results. The purpose of this review is to provide a technical overview of the use of ultrasound in decompression research, particularly Doppler and brightness (B)-mode ultrasound. Further, we will discuss the strengths and limitations of these technologies and how new advancements are improving our ability to understand bubble behavior post-decompression.

Attitude Surveys

A questionnaire with 70 closed and 11 open questions was administered to 230 mathematics students enrolled in Grades 10 through 12, the majority of whom were enrolled in the traditional year-long 10th-grade course in plane geometry. Sections of the questionnaire dealt with the students' attributions of success or failure; their comparative perceptions of mathematics, English, and social studies; their view of mathematics as a discipline; and their attitude toward mathematics. The data, which are closely tied to a series of classroom and protocol studies, suggest the resolution of contradictory patterns of data in other attitude surveys, where students simultaneously claim that “mathematics is mostly memorizing” but that mathematics is a creative and useful discipline in which they learn to think.

Introduction: Career as a doctor is not finished after graduate from basic medical education and clerkship. It will continue and there are many career options that can be choose, divided into clinician or non-clinician. There are many factors that influencing career choice, and one of them is role model. This research aimed to know how role model influence career choicing at students’ of Medical Faculty of Sriwijaya University. Method: This research is descriptive qualitative research. Data is acquired from Program Studi Pendidikan Dokter students by survey with open questions and in-depth interview.Results: 293 students become respondents of the survey and 8 students become key informants form in-depth interview. Based from informants, positive role model’ criterias are having a good-teaching method, looking good, having a good communication method, good attitude and behavior, skilled, and success in their career so that students want to follow those positive role model. Informants also said that negative role model’ criterias are having bad teaching method, bad looking and having bad attittude and behavior so that students don't want to follow role model’ trait. Conclusion: Positive role model can make students interested to follow positve role model’ career, and negative role model make students do not want to follow negative role model’ trait.

The brain is a complex dynamical system composed of many interacting sub-regions. Knowledge of how these interactions reconfigure over time is critical to a full understanding of the brain’s functional architecture, the neural basis of flexible cognition and behavior, and how neural systems are disrupted in psychiatric and neurological illness. The idea that we might be able to study neural and cognitive dynamics through analysis of neuroimaging data has catalyzed substantial interest in methods which seek to estimate moment-to-moment fluctuations in functional connectivity (often referred to as “dynamic” or time-varying connectivity; TVC). At the same time, debates have emerged regarding the application of TVC analyses to resting fMRI data, and about the statistical validity, physiological origins, and cognitive relevance of resting TVC. These and other unresolved issues complicate the interpretation of resting TVC findings and limit the insights which can be gained from this otherwise promising research area. This article reviews the current resting TVC literature in light of these issues. We introduce core concepts, define key terms, summarize current controversies and open questions, and present a forward-looking perspective on how resting TVC analyses can be rigorously applied to investigate a wide range of questions in cognitive and systems neuroscience.

The Impact

Virtual Reality (VR) users typically either sit or stand/walk when using VR; however, the impact of this is little researched, and there is a lack of any broad or systematic analysis of how this difference in physical posture might affect user experience and behavior. To address this gap, we propose such a systematic analysis that was refined through discussions and iterations during a dedicated workshop with VR experts. This analysis was complemented by an online survey to integrate the perspectives of a larger and more diverse group of VR experts, including developers and power users. The result is a validated expert assessment of the impact of posture and degree of embodiment on the most relevant aspects of VR experience and behavior. In particular, we posit potential strong effects of posture on user comfort, safety, self-motion perception, engagement, and accessibility. We further argue that the degree of embodiment can strongly impact cybersickness, locomotion precision, safety, self-motion perception, engagement, technical complexity, and accessibility. We provide a compact visualization of key findings and discuss areas where posture and embodiment do or do not have a known influence, as well as highlight open questions that could guide future research and VR design efforts.
