Abstract Modern geomagnetic field models are constructed from satellite and observatory data, while models on the millennial timescale are constructed from indirect records of thermoremanent and sedimentary origin.An intermediate period, spanning the last four centuries, is covered by historical survey data and ship-logs, which is strongly dominate
Abstract Thailand has traditionally pursued an aggressive enforcement-based anti-illicit drug policy in an effort to make the country "drug-free." In light of this ongoing approach, we sought to assess impacts of enforcement on drug use behaviors among a cohort of injection drug users (IDU) in Thailand.We examined drug use patterns among IDU partic
In this paper we introduce a novel model and method to increase the effectiveness of training operators of manufacturing installations.The proposed mathematical model describes main aspects of the process of training and development of sensorimotor skills.In contrast to existing models, our mathematical model incorporates dynamic characteristics of
To maintain an erect posture, sensory information must be integrated from the vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems.Additional somatosensory cues from the fingertips have been proposed to be able to improve postural stability during quiet standing.The present review paper focuses on the beneficial effect of light fingertip touch on postural
