Water bathing alters the speed-accuracy trade-off of escape flights in European starlings [PDF]

, 2009
Birds of most species regularly bathe in water, but the function of this behaviour is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that water bathing is important in feather maintenance, and hence should enhance flight performance. We manipulated European starlings'

Speed maintenance under cognitive load – Implications for theories of driver behaviour [PDF]

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2011
No theory of driver behaviour has yet managed to achieve widespread acceptance and use in the field of Traffic Psychology, partly due to the difficulty in testing many of the theories. However, one class of theories, the motivational theories, can be usefully split into two groups and the differences between them can then be examined.

Stressful Events Reported by Childhood Cancer Survivors and Community Controls From the St. Jude Lifetime (SJLIFE) Cohort: A Mixed Method Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Characterizing stressful events reported by childhood cancer survivors experienced throughout the lifespan may help improve trauma‐informed care relevant to the survivor experience. Methods Participants included 2552 survivors (54% female; 34 years of age) and 469 community controls (62% female; 33 years of age) from the St.

A Stochastic Analysis of the Maintenance Behaviour of Skylarks [PDF]

Behaviour, 1969
The paper attempts to describe the maintenance behaviour of Skylarks Alauda arvensis using conventional qualitative and quantitative descriptive frameworks and, as a new technique, random event series analysis. It is based on behaviour records of individually marked birds which were observed in the field for extended periods.

Memory CD4 T cell subsets are kinetically heterogeneous and replenished from naive T cells at high levels [PDF]

, 2017
Characterising the longevity of immunological memory requires establishing the rules underlying the renewal and death of peripheral T cells. However, we lack knowledge of the population structure and how self-renewal and de novo influx contribute to ...

Patient Activation in Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors: Current Insights and Implications for Survivorship Care—A Systematic Review From the e‐QuoL Project

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Patient activation—encompassing knowledge, confidence, and skills in managing individual's health—is a cornerstone of person‐centered care. However, its significance among childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors (CAYACS) remains unexplored. This article examines the application of the 13‐item Patient Activation Measure (

Dynamic Analysis Method for Fault Propagation Behaviour of Machining Centres

Applied Sciences, 2021
Fault propagation behaviour analysis is the basis of fault diagnosis and health maintenance. Traditional fault propagation studies are mostly based on a priori knowledge of a causality model combined with rule-based reasoning, disregarding the ...
