An EEG-based empirical analysis of information display, situational awareness and workload in air traffic control by Lu, Patricia Chunqi

“…Although there was no significant difference between unreliable CRA and manual condition, there was a trend of higher SA when ATCOs were equipped with an unreliable CRA than without CRA. In the later part of this study, the author investigated the effects of the number of crossings, traffic flow and conflict situation on ATCOs’ physiological workload. …”

A parametric version of the Hilbert Nullstellensatz by Ait El Manssour, R, Balaji, N, Nosan, K, Shirmohammadi, M, Worrell, J

“…More precisely, he showed that HN lies in the complexity class AM under GRH. In a later work he generalised this result by showing that the problem DIM, which asks to determine the dimension of the set of solutions of a given polynomial system, also lies in AM subject to GRH.…”

The association between the proportion of Brexiters and COVID-19 death rates in England by Phalippou, L, Wu, B

“…</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> Ecological study of whether there exists a significant conditional correlation between two variables that appear unrelated except for attitude towards experts: i) Proportion of people voting in favor of remaining in the European Union in 2016 and ii) COVID-19 outcomes four years later: death rates, vaccination rates. A significant conditional correlation would indicate that polarized beliefs have important consequences across a broad spectrum of societal challenges. …”

Sensorimotor hand representation following altered input by Wesselink, DB

“…Together, these studies stress the importance of early-life behaviour in shaping the primary somatosensory cortex and how later in life, the scope of sensorimotor plasticity is much more limited than previously thought. …”

Ottoman painting and painters during the First World War by Tongo, G

“…Above all, this study reconsiders the view that propaganda, jingoism, and militarism entirely dominated the cultural scene between 1914 and 1918, recovering how Ottoman artists’ paintings often figured the struggles of soldiers in battle and of civilians on the home front in ways that were, if not openly pacifistic, more complex and ambivalent than later mythmaking allowed. The thesis hopes to make original contributions to the history of modern Ottoman/Turkish art, the social history of the Ottoman home front, and the international cultural and art history of the First World War.…”

Evolution of an epidemic: understanding the opioid epidemic in the United States and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on opioid-related mortality by Laing, R, Donnelly, C

Egg development, hatching, and larval development of Marble Goby Oxyeleotris marmoratus under artificial rearing conditions by Senoo, Shigeharu, Kaneko, Masaharu, Cheah, Sin Hock, Ang, Kok Jee

“…In spite of their well-developed eyes and mouths, and the fact that they exhibited the active S-posture, the larvae did not feed on artificial powdered feed or Brachionus spp. for 4--6 days (d) AF, and the mortality before the feeding of Brachionus spp. was much higher than that of the later stages. They shifted their habitat from pelagic to benthic from 30 d AF. …”
