ABSTRACT Poor manual skills in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) may be dependent on task complexity and due to difficulties in the automatization phase of the motor learning process. Increased task demands and the dual‐task paradigm can be used to test these hypotheses.

Global Changes in Lepidopteran Phylogenetic Diversity Across Space and Time
Amidst increasing reports of insect declines, it is ever more important to understand spatial and temporal insect diversity patterns and processes. In this study, we repurposed the wealth of sequence data initially used for species identification, to detect global changes in the phylogenetic diversity (PD) of Lepidopteran communities over recent ...

Abstract Jaw–head movement coordination develops during adolescence. However, functional adjustments during this period remain poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize jaw and head movement adjustments in early adolescents and compare this to adults. Three‐dimensional optical cameras captured jaw and head movements during maximum jaw opening–

Comparison of Interlimb Coordination During Soccer Instep Kicking Between Elite and Amateur Players
ABSTRACT This study investigates how interlimb joint coordination influences foot speed during soccer instep kicking, using continuous relative phase (CRP) as a quantitative method. The sample includes 15 elite and 15 amateur players to examine potential differences in coordination patterns and their impact on performance.

History Roundtable on US Universities and the State: Episodes from the Twentieth Century
Abstract This roundtable explores four historical episodes in the history of state–university relations in the United States. In doing so, it addresses issues that also figure prominently in present‐day debates, including questions of academic freedom and free speech, the state's role in research funding as well as the international features of higher ...

We use a demographic model to explicitly connect individual performance to population‐level dynamics, parameterised using experimental data on competing Daphnia genotypes from two latitudes. We show that higher temperatures increase the likelihood of competitive exclusion of Northern genotypes by Southern genotypes, and highlight neonate sex ratios as ...

Graceful Forgetting II. Data as a Process
Data are rapidly growing in size and importance for society, a trend motivated by their enabling power. The accumulation of new data, sustained by progress in technology, leads to a boundless expansion of stored data, in some cases with an exponential ...

Can Hick's law and Fitts' law be combined?
Abstract An attempt was made to combine the two information-theory based laws relating speed and accuracy, Hick's law and Fitts' law, in a task where subjects were asked to repetitively aim at randomly indicated alternative targets from a home position. Fitts' law was not obeyed, so the proposed fusion was not possible.

Insight into Goal-Directed Movements: Beyond Fitts’ Law [PDF]
Various methods and measures have been developed to assess the quality of input devices and interaction techniques. One approach to investigating the performance of input devices and interaction techniques is to focus on the quality of the produced movements.

ABSTRACT The Jevons paradox describes how increased efficiency in the use of a resource can paradoxically increase rather than reduce its overall consumption. In agricultural systems, efficiency is confounded by a broad range of economic, ecological, social and evolutionary factors. Agriculture is a particularly elastic kind of production: Efficiencies
