High on habits [PDF]

open access: yesfrontiers in Neuroscience, 2008
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,

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Dynamic Modelling of Critical Infrastructures for Improved Disaster Habitation Recovery

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural disasters damage infrastructure systems that support housing habitability, leading to population displacement. Recovery efforts speed up infrastructure capacity restoration and, thereby, rehabitation by displaced residents. Current recovery policy analysis methods focus on individual infrastructure systems or overall community recovery

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Habit formation

open access: yesDialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, 2016
Habits, both good ones and bad ones, are pervasive in animal behavior. Important frameworks have been developed to understand habits through psychological and neurobiological studies. This work has given us a rich understanding of brain networks that promote habits, and has also helped us to understand what constitutes a habitual behavior as opposed to

Advancing Model‐Based Systems Engineering in the Development of Naval Vessel Systems Architecture

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing complexity of modern naval vessels due to technological advancements poses challenges for early‐stage ship design (ESSD). Developing well‐defined system architectures and adopting systems engineering approaches are essential to address these challenges.

The Detection and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets

open access: yesChallenges, 2014
We have now confirmed the existence of > 1800 planets orbiting stars other thanthe Sun; known as extrasolar planets or exoplanets. The different methods for detectingsuch planets are sensitive to different regions of parameter space, and so, we are ...

HYPERSCALING HOUSING: Venture Capital, Real Estate Start‐Ups and the Race to Build a Global Residential Brand

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract What happens when venture capitalists try to reinvent housing in their own image? Synonymous with the rise of Big Tech, venture capitalists (VCs) are asset managers that invest in early‐stage companies, pursuing aggressive growth and market domination. Since the 2008 financial crisis, VCs have poured huge sums into real estate start‐ups.

Building a Geochemical View of Microbial Salt Tolerance: Halophilic Adaptation of Marinococcus in a Natural Magnesium Sulfate Brine

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Current knowledge of life in hypersaline habitats is mostly limited to sodium and chloride-dominated environments. This narrow compositional window does not reflect the diversity of brine environments that exist naturally on Earth and other planetary ...
