How are actions physically implemented?
2009This chapter focuses on the interdisciplinary discussion between cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists on how actions, the results of decision processes, are implemented. After surveying the approaches used in action implementation research, we analyze the contributions of these different approaches in more detail.

Physical activity: a (mobile) call to action [PDF]
BMJ, 2020 The need to take “urgent action to improve low levels of physical activity”1 seems true for most countries. Despite the health and economic burden of inactivity23 and the benefits of even light activity,4 policies—in high, middle, and low income countries—have not succeeded in making people move.5 In Brazil, where physical activity could prevent 15 ...

Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action*
Bell System Technical Journal, 1949The transitor in the form described herein consists of two-point contact electrodes, called emitter and collector, placed in close proximity on the upper face of a small block of germanium. The base electrode, the third element of the triode, is a large area low resistance contact on the lower face.

Physics in action - visiting a hospital
Physics Education, 1989Very often, an appreciation of a technological application cannot be gained without actually seeing `the real thing' in action. To this end, this article describes the preparation for and organisation and evaluation of a visit to a hospital.

Physicalism, Action, and Explanation
1993Abstract Naturalism, construed broadly, states that whatever exists is part of the natural order of things. One common understanding of the natural order implies that whatever is natural is explainable, at least in principle, by the natural sciences.

The Social Meaning of Physical Action
2013Intelligent systems should be able to initiate and understand social interactions, which are always brought about by physical actions. Thus, all physical actions need to be interpreted for their social effects. This paper gives an analytical framework that identifies the main challenges in modelling social interactions.

Orientations of the actions of physics teachers
International Journal of Science Education, 1989Although teachers’ thinking and their subjective (implicit) theories have been investigated for many years, little research has been carried out into teachers’ thinking and decision‐making in specific areas. This paper describes the main orientations of physics teachers that are assumed to be typical for this subject.

Availing the Physics of Least Action
New Literary History, 1995Amidst the talk about totality of language?its logic, its rhetoric, its aesthetics, its politics?there persists an unapparent action that we do every day. Like Wittgenstein's language games that we use as commonplace, this kind of action seems not to have a locutionary figure of speech, perhaps because we do it unskeptically.

Pipe organs: physics in an action
Physics World, 2002The pipe organ is the most impressive of all musical instruments, often reaching heights of metres or even tens of metres in concert halls and churches. One of the most crucial parts of the organ is the "action" – the mechanism that links the keys and the pipes.

Action at a Distance in Physics and Cosmology
Physics Bulletin, 1975F Hoyle and J V Narlikar Reading: W H Freeman 1974 pp x + 266 price £7.80 Neither of these authors has shirked controversy in the past and this together with their undoubted ability to write in an attractive way made the review of this book an exciting prospect. I was not disappointed.
