Unlocking Multi‐Valley Energy Pockets and Interface‐Induced Phonon Filtering in InSb Thermoelectrics by Reaction‐Driven Interface Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
InSb, a narrow‐bandgap semiconductor with high carrier mobility, is promising for thermoelectric energy conversion but suffers from high lattice thermal conductivity and strong bipolar conduction. Here, in situ interface engineering using Co2O3 nanoprecursors forms hierarchical CoSbx/In2O3/CoSb3 heterostructures that enhance phonon scattering and ...

Perception of spatial orientation in microgravity

Brain Research Reviews, 1998
Experiments during space and parabolic flights have shown that human spatial orientation in microgravity differs to a significant extent from its performance on earth. Due to the missing reference of gravitational force, unusual perceptual phenomena are observed, from inversion illusions to errors of perceived motion and position with respect to the ...

Spatial orientation: A relationship with inferential memory

Brain and Cognition, 2023
Two branches of the scientific literature have dominated our understanding of hippocampal function. One focuses on the support this structure offers to declarative memory, while the other views the hippocampus as a part of a system dedicated to spatial navigation.

Spatial Orientation in the Blind

Nature, 1967
LITTLE is known directly about the ability of congenitally blind subjects to orient themselves in an unfamiliar environment. Senden1 went to considerable lengths to document the apparently inherent and unsurmountable difficulties arising from an alleged absence of a “sense of space”.

Spatial Memory and Spatial Orientation

2008
Navigating through a remembered space depends critically on the ability to stay oriented with respect to the remembered environment and to reorient after becoming lost. This chapter describes the roles of long-term spatial memory, sensorimotor spatial memory, and path integration in determining spatial orientation.

Spatial Orientation

Abstract This chapter surveys spatial orientation systems across the Malayo-Polynesian languages of Southeast Asia. Although spatial orientation has been studied extensively in Oceanic languages, relatively less attention has been paid to orientation in the non-Oceanic languages.

Control of spatial orientation in a mollusc

Nature, 1998
The main function of postural nervous mechanisms in different species, from mollusc to man, is to counteract the force of gravity and stabilize body orientation in space. Here we investigate the basic principles of postural control in a simple animal model, the marine mollusc Clione limacina. When swimming, C.

Spatial orientations

2020
Whereas the dative and ablative case markers are primarily used in combination with verbs denoting movement to and from some object, the locative signifies that all movement is absent. This natural relation justifies a simultaneous discussion of these case forms in deictic pronouns. These markers play a crucial role in expressions based on the genitive-
