Action and rehabilitation in hemispatial neglect
Milner and Goodale (1995, 2006) propose a model of vision that makes a distinction between ‘vision for perception’ and ‘vision for action’. Regarding hemispatial neglect, they, somewhat contentiously, hypothesize that this disorder is better explained by damage to a high-level representational …

Advanced Composites for Design and Rehabilitation of Hydraulic Structures
Concrete and steel have been predominantly used in civil and hydraulic infrastructure construction. With several years of service under adverse climatic conditions, those structures have exhibited moderate to severe deterioration and composite materials are emerging as one of the most feasible and …
