Distance Perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Distance perception refers to a process in which an observer perceives an interval between two points in space. The interval does not have to be linear, but perception of a straight-line distance has been most extensively studied. The distance can be defined between the observer and an external object (egocentric distance) or between two external ...

Temporoparietal encoding of space and time during vestibular-guided orientation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
When we walk in our environment, we readily determine our travelled distance and location using visual cues. In the dark, estimating travelled distance uses a combination of somatosensory and vestibular (i.e., inertial) cues.

The Object Orientation Effect in Exocentric Distances

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
The object orientation effect describes shorter perceived distances to the front than to the back of oriented objects. The present work extends previous studies in showing that the object orientation effect occurs not only for egocentric distances ...

Background factors of crisis distance learning perception

open access: yesОбразование и наука, 2023
Introduction. Crisis distance learning was an emergency response of higher education systems to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its elements still remain active in world universities.

A Systematic Review of Evidence on the Clinical Effectiveness of Surveillance Imaging in Children With Medulloblastoma and Ependymoma

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surveillance imaging aims to detect tumour relapse before symptoms develop, but it's unclear whether earlier detection of relapse leads to better outcomes in children and young people (CYP) with medulloblastoma and ependymoma. This systematic review aims to identify relevant literature to determine the efficacy of surveillance magnetic ...

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

How is visual separation assessed? By counting distance units

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology
How does the human visual system assess the separation between pairs of stimuli in a frontal plane? According to the direct (or subtractive) view the system finds the difference between the positions of the stimuli in a localization system.

Spearfishing-induced behavioral changes of an unharvested species inside and outside a marine protected area. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
By prohibiting fishing, marine protected areas (MPAs) provide a refuge for harvested species. Humans are often perceived as predators by prey and therefore respond fearfully to humans.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Effects of Levels of Realism on Perceived Distance in Computer-Simulated Urban Spaces

open access: yesBuildings
Today, as planners and urban designers increasingly rely on computational modeling to study complex urban systems, a methodological shift toward virtual experimentation is discernible because the real-world factors are difficult to control.
