Immersive virtual reality as a teaching tool in neuroanatomy: A scoping review

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Basic core courses in various undergraduate programs, such as neuroanatomy, pose a challenge for students due to the large volume and complexity of the content. In this context, educational technologies such as immersive virtual reality (IVR), which allow students to actively interact with learning materials, offer a complementary pedagogical ...

Low power wireless sensor network for structural health monitoring of buildings using MEMS strain sensors and accelerometers [PDF]

, 2012
Within the MEMSCON project, a wireless sensor network was developed for structural health monitoring of buildings to assess earthquake damage. The sensor modules use custom-developed capacitive MEMS strain and 3D acceleration sensors and a low power ...

Time-frequency representation of earthquake accelerograms and inelastic structural response records using the adaptive chirplet decomposition and empirical mode decomposition [PDF]

, 2007
In this paper, the adaptive chirplet decomposition combined with the Wigner-Ville transform and the empirical mode decomposition combined with the Hilbert transform are employed to process various non-stationary signals (strong ground motions and ...

From disorientation to preparedness: Information practices as scaffolding in acute crises

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This qualitative study examines how adults in Israel enacted information practices during an acute national crisis. Using the information transitions framework, we investigate how concrete practices emerge and evolve across three stages: understanding, negotiating, and resolving. Semi‐structured Zoom interviews with 18 adults were analyzed via

Socioenvironmental implications of Jatropha curcas cultivation for biodiesel supply in postmining communities

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

Very low frequency earthquakes in Cascadia migrate with tremor [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2015
AbstractWe find very low frequency earthquakes (VLFEs) in Cascadia under northern Washington during 2011 episodic tremor and slip event. VLFEs are rich in low‐frequency energy (20–50 s) and depleted in higher frequencies (higher than 1 Hz) compared to local earthquakes.

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.
