IntroductionPrevious research suggests patients with schizophrenia have altered decision-making when presented with philosophical moral scenarios.However, not much is known about everyday moral decision-making in patients, which can be more relevant to their real-life social functioning.Methods32 patients with schizophrenia and 32 control subjects
Impact of Causticizing Calcium Carbonate from Soda Pulping of Wheat Straw on AKD Sizing
The causticizing calcium carbonate (CCC) produced in the causticizing stage of the chemical recovery process in alkaline pulping of wheat straw has a high silicate content and is difficult to convert to calcium oxide in the lime kiln.The CCC can be utilized as a paper filler to avoid costly lime re-burning, but the silicate content of the CCC can h
Synergistic benefits of conserving land-sea ecosystems
Mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs interact in tropical regions throughout the world.These ecosystems exhibit strong synergies, as the health of each ecosystem supports the functioning of adjacent habitats.We present a global spatial analysis of mangrove, seagrass, and reef communities, identifying regions where these habitats co-occur.While on
Performance of the HOMME dynamical core in the aqua-planet configuration of NCAR CAM4: equatorial waves
Soccer - Goalie - Gloves A new atmospheric dynamical core, named the High Order Method Modeling Environment (HOMME), has been recently included in the NCAR-Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4).It is a petascale capable high-order element-based conservative dynamical core developed on a cubed-sphere grid.We have examined the model simula
