In this paper, we study the different types of trajectories that correspond to a particular orbital behavior of caldera-type Hamiltonian systems. This particular orbital behavior is dynamical matching. Dynamical matching is an important chemical phen...
Though turbulence is often thought to have universal behavior regardless of origin, it may be possible to distinguish between the types of turbulence generated by different sources. Prior work in turbulence modeling has shown that the fundamental &ld...
Zebrafish have the ability, to a certain extent, to distinguish between different types of stimuli, including distinguishing between videos of conspecifics and non-conspecifics, a skill known as stimulus discrimination. In this study, we investigated...
Community outdoor public spaces are indispensable to urban residents’ daily lives. Analyzing community outdoor public spaces from a behavioral perspective is crucial and an effective way to support human-centered development in urban areas. Tra...
The quality of drivers’ performance is one of the crucial components related to road safety. One of the key cognitive characteristics related to the ability to drive safely are executive functions. The main goal of the presented research is to...
Analysis of freely moving Drosophila captures complex movement behaviors. However, previous experiments have been limited by the inability to distinguish between falls and downward jumps (downjumps). Here, individual flies moving freely in a culture...
Responsibility for homework and parent–adolescent communication may have different associations with adolescent adjustment. Using two waves of the China Education Panel Survey (2013–2015), we examined these parent-specific behaviors in ou...
In this paper we explore the existence of behavioral consistency between individuals’ pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors in related domains (cross-domain), distinguishing between the following two types of behaviors that the literature h...
This paper deals with the modeling of wealth distribution considering a society with non-constant population and non-conservative wealth trades. The modeling approach is based on the kinetic theory of active particles, where individuals are distingui...
