Age and Context Dependency in Causal Learning
… properly prepare for an upcoming event. Encoding context is a type of associative processing; thus, context is also an important aspect of acquiring causal relationships. Context gives us additional information about how two events are related and allows us to be flexible in how we respond to …

The effects of scale and context-dependency on the outcome of experiments investigating soil carbon dynamics
… of soil processes and to establish how scale and context may alter the outcome of experiments. The overarching aim of this thesis was to explore the effect of context and experimental scale on the outcome of experiments investigating soil carbon dynamics and plant-soil interactions. I conducted a …

The Effects of Context-Dependency of Seductive Details on Recall and Transfer in a Multimedia Learning Environment
… of this study was to investigate the effects of context-dependency of seductive details on recall and transfer in multimedia learning environments. Two experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, the purpose was to identify context-dependent vs. context-independent seductive details in a …

Genome Signatures Reveal the Importance of Context Dependent Codon Bias In A Range of Bacterial Genomes
<p>The relationship of nucleotide context on fifteen evolutionarily distinct bacterial species was investigated for all four and six codon families to identify the role of context dependency on synonymous codon usage. Genome signatures of four nucleotide words were used to identify the …

Abiotic and Biotic Factors Shaping Plant-Microbe Interactions
… and ecosystem function. However, the context-dependency of plant-microbe interactions remains an underexplored frontier of scientific understanding. Given that the biotic and abiotic contexts of ecological communities is rapidly shifting due to anthropogenic change, understanding the …

Do you get what I mean? Contrastive Inference and Comprehension in Children
… inference and exhaustification when the context is ambiguous as to whether one should generate pragmatic enrichment. We found that children appear, in some cases, to be extra pragmatic compared to adults. This shows that children, when they are given access to alternatives are …

Algal resource depression by macro-invertebrate herbivores in a chalk stream: An empirical approach
… to assess: herbivore link strength distribution; context-dependency of interaction strength; the relationship of body size with interaction strength; and the effects of competing grazer species on algal resources. The algal-herbivore sub-web was dominated by weak interactions which concurred with …

Query Answering over Contextualized RDF/OWL Knowledge with Expressive Bridge Rules: Decidable classes
… problem of reasoning and query answering over contextualized knowledge in quad format augmented with expressive forall-existential bridge rules. Such bridge rules contain conjunctions, existentially quantified variables in the head, and are strictly more expressive than the bridge rules …

The interactive museum experience: investigating experiential tendencies and audience focus in the Galleries of Modern London and the High Arctic exhibition
… often do not take the multifaceted nature and context-dependency of interactivity into account. Throughout the thesis, I argue that the practice of digital interactivity in museum spaces should not be fetishized, but it must be examined and understood, depending on the context and the setting …

Context-relevant strategic decision-making by leaders under crisis conditions
… geopolitical conflicts, and how their diverse contexts influenced their decision-making amidst uncertainty and change. The primary research question explored was: How do different contexts influence the strategic decision-making behaviours of leaders under crises conditions? The participants in …

Downstream Dilemma: Navigating Microplastic's Impact on Freshwater Symbiosis in the Anthropocene
… reduction in resources resulted in a shift of context dependency, thus increasing parasitic symbiont behavior. This study demonstrates microplastics have the capability to shift symbiotic context from a mutualism to a parasitism.

Biotic interactions through a macroecological lens: biogeographic trends in parasitism rates and life history effects on the evolution of cooperation
… ecology. Biotic interactions are also highly context-dependent, varying in strength in response to many abiotic and biotic factors. Research into biotic interactions can be streamlined by incorporating species-specific traits, such as life history and taxonomy, which produce broader patterns …

Global change effects on ant-mediated seed dispersal
… found that the impacts of global change were context dependent and that our experiments were important tools in disentangling that context dependency. Further, this work demonstrates the value of understanding the basic ecology of the interactions among organisms. Understanding the natural …

RELIGION AS A CULTURAL CONTEXT OF INTOLERANCE: ASSESSING THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL(IZED) FORMS OF RELIGION ON ATTITUDES TOWARDS IMMIGRATION ACROSS EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
… of inter-group relations within this evolving context, existing research is primarily grounded in social identity theory and ethnic competition theory, where values and beliefs are perceived as resources in understanding inter-group dynamics. From such a perspective, immigrants become further …

On the ecological transitions between parasitism and mutualism
… Identifying the underlying mechanisms and context dependency of such ecological dynamics is essential to understand the responses of interacting species to rapidly changing environments. In this thesis, I investigate the ecological factors that cause transitions between parasitism and …

Fire disturbance belowground: untangling consequences for soil food webs and organic matter
… organisms, food webs, and organic matter in the context of fire disturbance and agricultural management. I begin by presenting results from a meta-analysis investigating the effect of fire on soil biota biomass, abundance, richness, evenness, and diversity. Overall, I found a pervasive negative …

The Effect of Elite Secondary School Programs on University Outcomes in Hungary
