A Thoracic Mechanism of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Due to Blast Pressure Waves [PDF]

, 2008
The mechanisms by which blast pressure waves cause mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are an open question. Possibilities include acceleration of the head, direct passage of the blast wave via the cranium, and propagation of the blast wave to

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

A comparison of the behind armour blunt trauma effects between ceramic faced and soft body armours caused by ballistic impact [PDF]

, 2002
Recently published research has characterised the behind armour blunt trauma (BABT) effects associated with high velocity ballistic impact on textile-based armour faced with a ceramic plate. Subsequently dynamic displacements, accelerations and pressures

Contextual Learning of New Meanings for Familiar Words: Perturbation of Original Meanings Occurs Without Deliberate Study

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract The present study investigated learning new meanings of known words from reading, following Hulme et al.’s (2018) study. English speakers read four short stories containing 16 critical words (i.e., familiar word forms assigned invented secondary meanings).

Being Biased and Knowing How to Reason

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay explains how reasoning is action and not reflex. It then uses that theory to explain one form of knowing how to reason. Reasoning is thinking biased by knowledge. Drawing on Louise Antony's emphasis on bias as critical for dealing with underdetermination in induction, I show that underdetermination confronts all forms of reasoning ...

Computational Modeling of Decision Making Enhances the Adversity Researcher's Toolbox

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past decades, there has been major progress in our understanding of how adversity influences cognitive abilities and strategies. However, most of this research is based on raw performance, such as response times and accuracy. These measures are informative about decision‐making outcomes but tell us little about cognitive processes. In

Prediction of Residual Strength of Carbon/Glass Fiber Hybrid Laminated Composites after Ballistic Impact

Nanjing Hangkong Hangtian Daxue Xuebao
This study investigates the ballistic impact damage characteristics and residual tensile strength of carbon fiber/ glass fiber hybrid laminates using a combination of experimental testing， computed tomography （CT）‑based damage characterization， and ...

Common inputs to motor units are modulated by force profile and muscle length

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groups of motor units receive common synaptic inputs from specialized networks of premotor neurons to produce movement. Here, we test whether common inputs received by motor units in the first dorsal interosseous are fixed or task‐dependent during submaximal isometric contractions.
