the Abstract: “We aimed to determine if sarcopenia, and specific
components of muscle size, function and physical performance, are
associated with high impacts achieved during
habitual PA, as these are related to bone strength in
community-dwelling older women.” This article may be obtained online

Anthropomorphism in the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence – The limits of cognition?
Acta Astronaut. 2018 Feb;143:163-8. Epub 2017 Nov 24.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/
Note:
From
the Abstract: “This paper aims at pinpointing [anthropomorphism] in a
number of classical reactions to basic questions related to the search
for extra-terrestrial intelligence.
Many of these reactions are based on human motives such as curiosity
and fear, rationalised by experience and historical analogy and modelled
in the Science Fiction Culture by literature and movies.”

A novel dissociation between representational momentum and representational gravity through response modality.

Note:
From
the Introduction: “In the present study, we investigate whether
knowledge about the effects of gravity is exclusively intrinsic to the
perceiver’s motor system or whether it
is a cognitive factor influencing spatial judgements.”
