Based on grounded cognition theories, the current study showed that judgments about ability were regulated by the subjects' perceptions of their spatial height. In Experiment 1, we found that after seeing the ground from a higher rather than lower floor, people had higher expectations about their performance on a…

Shoes alter the evolved biomechanics of the foot, potentially affecting running kinematics and kinetics that can in turn influence injury and performance. An important feature of conventional running shoes is heel height, whose effects on foot and ankle biomechanics remain understudied. Here, we investigate the effects…

'Jie Yao' 'Chao Ma' 'Xiaoliu Li'] Walking stability is an important factor that is related to working accidents at height. The understanding of the relationship between walking stability and walking conditions remains an unmet need. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of path height, width, and…

'Nadia Bianchi-Berthouze' 'Tomohisa Asai' 'Toshitaka Kimura' 'Norimichi Kitagawa' 'Marcello Costantini'] When we drop an object from our hands, we use internal models of both our body height and object-motion to predict when it will hit the floor. What happens if the sensory feedback finally received from the impact…

Vertical growth of plants is a dynamic process that is influenced by genetic and environmental factors and has a pronounced effect on overall plant architecture and biomass composition. We have performed twelve controlled growth trials of an interspecific Setaria italica x Setaria viridis recombinant inbred line…

The footwear market contains a wide variety of running shoe solutions aiming at optimizing performance and minimizing injuries. Stack height is one of the most highly discussed design features of running shoes, but its effects are not yet well understood. This study investigated the effects of different shoes differing…

Body height growth is a life history component. It involves important costs for its expression and maintenance, which may originate trade-offs on other costly components such as reproduction or immunity. Although previous evidence has supported the idea that human height could be a sexually selected trait, the…

Modern embodied approaches to cognitive science overlap with ideas long explored in theater. Performance coaches such as Michael Chekhov have emphasized proprioceptive awareness of movement as a path to attaining psychological states relevant for embodying characters and inhabiting fictional spaces. Yet, the psychology…

In this work, quantum ballistic simulation study of a III-V tri-gate MOSFET has been presented. At the same time, effects of device parameter variation on ballistic, subthrshold and short channel performance is observed and presented. The ballistic simulation result has also been used to observe the electrostatic…

'Paul L. Gribble'] Background During locomotion, vision is used to perceive environmental obstacles that could potentially threaten stability; locomotor action is then modified to avoid these obstacles. Various factors such as lighting and texture can make these environmental obstacles appear larger or smaller than…

Next generation DRAM series will rely on the ability to obtain low resistance contact junctions in very tight spaces and narrow trenches. Current DRAM technology uses a polycrystalline plug, followed by silicidation with Ti metal to obtain a low resistance interface. The upcoming generations of DRAM series requires us…

This paper identifies a new phenomenon: when users interact with simulated objects in a virtual environment where the user is much smaller than usual, there is a mismatch between the object physics that they expect and the object physics that would be correct at that scale. We report the findings of our study…

In this second part, we present the explicit analytical expression of the framework introduced in Part I. The formulation yields closed-form predictions for capillary rise and depression in cylindrical geometries and extends naturally to a wide range of configurations. It shows that the contact angle, rather than being…

—3D geo-information is of great significance for understanding the living environment; however, 3D perception from remote sensing data, especially on a large scale, is restricted, mainly due to the high costs of 3D sensors such as LiDAR. To tackle this problem, we propose a method for monocular height estimation from…

The presence of a tiny amount of polymers (a few parts per million) in a fluid dramatically reduces turbulent drag. For this reason, polymer additives have been proposed to be used in flood remediation: in an open channel at fixed flow rate, the decrease in friction due to polymer addition is expected to lead to a…

A single-camera synthetic Schlieren method is introduced to measure the height of a dynamic free liquid surface in a container with a flat bottom. Markers placed on the bottom, seen through the free surface, are virtually displaced due to light refraction at the surface. According to Snell's law, the marker…

Inorganic fertilizers have been associated with significant environmental impact, prompting the need for sustainable alternatives. This study explores the rapid conversion of residual plant biomass into organic fertilizer, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach. It effects on maize growth, development…

Thermoelectric effects are envisioned to reduce programming currents in nanopillar phase change memory cells. However, due to the inherent symmetry in such a structure, the contribution due to thermoelectric effects on programming currents is minimal. In this work, we propose a hybrid phase change memory structure…

Regulating the state of the solid-liquid interface by means of electric fields is a powerful tool to control electrochemistry. In scanning probe systems, this can be confined closely to a scanning (nano)electrode by means of fast potential pulses, providing a way to probe the interface and control electrochemical…

In the size-weight illusion, the smaller object from two equally weighted objects is typically perceived as being heavier. One explanation is that the mismatch between the weight expectation based on object size and actual sensory feedback influences heaviness perception. In most studies, the size of an object is…

Liquid metal catalysts have recently attracted attention for synthesizing high-quality two-dimensional (2D) materials facilitated via the catalysts’ perfectly smooth surface. However, the microscopic catalytic processes occurring at the surface are still largely unclear because liquid metals escape the accessibility of…
