Gendered Social Norms Change in Water Governance Structures Through Community Facilitation: Evaluation of the UPWARD Intervention in Tanzania

Frontiers in Sociology, 2021
Background: In rural Tanzania, women and girls disproportionately bear the burden of water scarcity. Gendered social norms on the acceptability of women’s participation in the public sphere limit their decision-making power within local water governance ...

Density-of-states similarity descriptor for unsupervised learning from materials data

Scientific Data, 2022
We develop a materials descriptor based on the electronic density-of-states (DOS) and investigate the similarity of materials based on it. As an application example, we study the Computational 2D Materials Database (C2DB) that hosts thousands of two ...

Binocular coordination during smooth pursuit in dyslexia: a multiple case study

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2010
Smooth pursuit (SP) was explored in dyslexics and non-dyslexics. Dyslexic children show similar gain of SP, and number and amplitude of catch-up saccades (CUS) as non-dyslexic children.

Binocular coordination of saccades: development, aging and cerebral substrate

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2008
The origin of binocular coordination of saccades (central, peripheral) and the role of learning remain controversial (Hering vs Helmholtz). We will present evidence for learning: in young children (5 years) horizontal saccades are poorly yoked ...

Different effects of double-pulse TMS of the posterior parietal cortex on reflexive and voluntary saccades

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2011
Gap and overlap tasks are widely used to promote automatic versus controlled saccades. This study examines the hypothesis that the right posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is differently involved in the two tasks. Twelve healthy students participated in the

Effects of aging on regular and express latencies of vergence

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2009
Vergence eye movements are frequent in every day life and important for depth perception. Yet, studies of vergence in elderly are rare. We examined convergence and divergence between targets placed along median line at 20, 40 or 150cm.
