What is a habit? One problem with the concept of habit has been that virtually everyone has their own ideas of what is meant by such a term. Whilst not eschewing folk psychology, it is useful to re-examine dictionary definitions of 'habit'. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines habit as "a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that

Abstract Geomorphology generally aims to describe and investigate the processes that lead to the formation of landscapes, while geochronology is needed to detect their timing and duration. Due to restrictions on exporting geological samples from Egypt, modern geoscientific studies in the Nile Delta lack the possibility of dating the investigated ...

Charting the landscape of the environmental exposome
We describe the biological and chemical components of the environmental exposomes in three major environmental matrices that are highly relevant to human and social‐economical health—air, soil, and water. We discuss how different exposome components can interact with each other. Finally, we propose a list of outstanding challenges to be tackled to push

The African savannah ecosystem is populated by nomadic pastoralists who corral livestock at night in temporary enclosures, called bomas, to protect them. The number and distribution of bomas in the savannah is important from an ecological perspective. However, no studies have yet examined the spatial‐temporal dynamics of bomas and their relationship to

Antarctica's vegetation in a changing climate
Antarctica's unique terrestrial ecosystems are changing with significant impact on the local vegetation. Change is manifold and includes alterations in abiotic and biotic interactions. How the vegetation will respond is still unclear. Abstract Antarctica plays a central role in regulating global climatic and oceanographic patterns and is an integral ...

Abstract Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are causing unprecedented changes to the climate. In 2015, at the United Nations (UN) Conference of the Parties in Paris, France, countries agreed to limit the global mean temperature (GMT) increase to 2°C above preindustrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.

The neural circuits involved in learning and executing goal-directed actions, which are governed by action-outcome contingencies and sensitive to changes in the expected value of the outcome, have been shown to be different from those mediating habits, which are less dependent on action-outcome relations and changes in outcome value. Extended training,

Analyzing the Habitable Zones of Circumbinary Planets Using Machine Learning [PDF]
Exoplanet detection in the past decade by efforts including NASA's Kepler and TESS missions has discovered many worlds that differ substantially from planets in our own Solar System, including more than 150 exoplanets orbiting binary or multi-star systems.
