Does the State Impact Hope? The Impact of Direct and Vicarious Police Contact on the Optimism of Youth in Large Cities
The structure and development of explore-exploit decision making
Associations Between Loneliness and Cognitive Resilience to Neuropathology in Older Adults
Higher and increasing loneliness was associated with lower CR in the face of neuropathology. These results suggest that some individuals are less resilient to the accumulation of neuropathology than others, and experiencing high/increasing loneliness is a key factor putting some at risk. Interventions aimed at optimizing cognitive function across older adults should include loneliness reduction as a potential area of focus
A coordinated analysis of the associations among personality traits, cognitive decline, and dementia in older adulthood
Associations Between Personality Traits and Cognitive Resilience in Older Adults
Personality may have a pathoplastic effect on neuropathology, as low neuroticism and high conscientiousness are associated with better function despite neuropathologic burden
The effect of direct and vicarious police contact on the educational achievement of urban teens
How Market Design Emerged from Game Theory
We interview each other about how game theory and mechanism design evolved into practical market design. When we learned game theory, games were modeled either in terms of the strategies available to the players ("noncooperative games") or the outcomes attainable by coalitions ("cooperative games"), and these were viewed as models for different kinds of games. The model itself was viewed as a mathematical object that could be examined in its enti…
Authoritarian Environmental Governance
For over a decade, nature–society geographers have focused on neoliberal and, more recently, postneoliberal environmental governance. Meanwhile, regimes in many nations have become less democratic and other countries, such as the United States, have elected leaders sympathetic to autocrats. Yet despite the spread of authoritarianism, nature–society geographers have as of yet devoted little attention to the subject, which hampers us as we confront…

Taking Personality to the Next Level
What does it mean to know a person? In his famous article, McAdams (1995) addresses this question from the perspective of personality psychology and concludes that personality traits are “the psychology of the stranger.” To really know someone, you need to know more than just how they typically think, feel, and behave on average (a common definition of traits). You need to know how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors change depending on their…

Moments of crisis
There is strong evidence for many key turning points in Scottish and north-west European prehistory – what we call moments of 'crisis' – to be associated with evidence for widespread and abrupt natural changes in climate. Association or coincidence are not cause, though, and the testing of specific hypotheses to establish this relation is needed. The timing of these moments of abrupt climatic change in Scottish prehistory is proposed in a review …
The Ugly Duckling
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the primary federal agency responsible for conserving wild animals in the United States. Yet it has attracted remarkably little attention from environmental historians. Through the regulations it enforces and the refuges it manages, the agency has had a profound impact on the nation's wildlife. The wildlife history of the United States, particularly in the twentieth century, is intertwined with the story of t…
Landscapes of Promise and Betrayal
The reclamation of arid lands in the Western United States is a key topic studied by scholars of the region. The incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II occupies a place of similar prominence among those studying Asian American history. Yet neither group has carefully examined the relationship between federal reclamation and incarceration. Three of the ten concentration camps were built on U.S. Bureau of Reclamation irrigation pro…
Methods to account for spatial autocorrelation in the analysis of species distributional data
Species distributional or trait data based on range map (extent‐of‐occurrence) or atlas survey data often display spatial autocorrelation, i.e. locations close to each other exhibit more similar values than those further apart. If this pattern remains present in the residuals of a statistical model based on such data, one of the key assumptions of standard statistical analyses, that residuals are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d), i…
Globalization, Binational Communities, and Imported Food Risks
Objectives. Although the burden of lead poisoning has decreased across developed countries, it remains the most prevalent environmental poison worldwide. Our objective was to investigate the sources of an outbreak of lead poisoning in Monterey County, California. Methods. An investigation in 3 county health department clinics in Monterey County, California, was conducted between 2001 and 2003 to identify risk factors for elevated blood lead level…

Boundaries of the Mind
Where does the mind begin and end? Most philosophers and cognitive scientists take the view that the mind is bounded by the skull or skin of the individual. Robert Wilson, in this provocative and challenging 2004 book, provides the foundations for the view that the mind extends beyond the boundary of the individual. The approach adopted offers a unique blend of traditional philosophical analysis, cognitive science, and the history of psychology a…

Prophecy by the Dead in Dante and Lucan
In canto VI of the Inferno, in the third circle of Hell, Dante personaggio meets the glutton Ciacco, who delivers the first of the many post-eventum prophecies in the Commedia in response to the following question: ma dimmi, se tu sai, a che verranno li cittadin de la città partita; s'alcun v'è giusto; e dimmi la cagione per che l'ha tanta discordia assalita. (Inf., VI. 60–63)

Teamwork in the Operating Room
Like all dramas, a surgical operation has certain important plots and sub-plots, a cast of characters, and a spatial setting. In narrative form, surgery at a large general hospital often occurs in a sequence such as the following:At seven o'clock in the morning, nurses have arrived on the surgical floor. They find maids finishing the cleaning of the operating suites and corridors. Notices of scheduled operations for the day are posted in prominen…

Map showing ground-water conditions in the Aravaipa Valley area, Graham and Pinal Counties, Arizona-1975
This hydrologic map of the Aravaipa Valley area includes about 500 sq mi in southeastern Arizona. Development of the ground-water resources is small, and pumpage is estimated to be less than 3,000 acre-ft annually for irrigation, livestock, and domestic uses. Hydrographs of the water level in selected wells show no long-term decline. Irrigation wells yield as much as 1 ,200 gal/min from the younger and older alluvium along Aravaipa Creek. The che…

I Thought I was Hallucinating
I began writing I was sitting on my patio this guy appeared I thought I was hallucinating a few days after the final performance of Einstein on the Beach in November of 1976. I wrote a few pages of dialog at a time in a large notebook with blank pages that I often write and draw in when working on a piece. The language I wrote was more a reflection of the way we think than of the way we normally speak. My head became like a TV, switching from tho…
