Orienting structure to serve medical functions
<p>This thesis explores how the change in material and the structure can better serve medicalfunctions. A 3D printed physical phantom and a hydrogel coated orthopedic implant were developed. The purpose of physical phantom work was to characterize and improve the ability of fused filament …

The Effects of Nicotine on Attention Orienting
… distractors impaired task performance due to orienting to and reorienting from the distractor. Simultaneous distractors did not cause orientation of attention (indicated by absence of a P3a Event-Related Potential) and produced smaller increments in response latencies. However, this type of …

Neural correlates of cardiac orienting response habituation
<p>This study represents an attempt to determine some of the neural correlates of habituation to repetitive auditory stimulation, and to relate those correlates to the existing theories concerning habituation mechanisms. As the following literature review will reveal, a well controlled …

Orienting of willed temporal attention: an EEG study
… of information. In most studies on temporal orienting external cues have been used to direct participants' attention. However, in everyday life, we also make internal choices, without external cues, of when to orient our attention. Recent studies in visual-spatial attention developed a …

Orienting Human Resource Management to Serve University Commercialisation
The contribution of human resource management (HRM) to organisational performance is confirmed, yet there remains the challenge to understand how the configuration of HR practices leads to organisational outcomes. The objective of this research is to examine university commercialisation strategies …

Experienced teachers’ planning practices: Orienting, inventing, and envisioning
… to each other through three core practices: orienting, inventing, and envisioning. In sum, I argue that theoretical attention to the development of teachers’ practices can help researchers reconceptualize how we understand, study, and support planning for student learning and teacher …

A look into how inhibition and stress influence visual orienting
… out distractions. It consists of visual orienting, which shifts attention to a target, and inhibition, which suppresses irrelevant stimuli. The Posner paradigm (Posner, 1980) was one of the first tasks to measure both processes, while the Infant Orienting With Attention task (IOWA; …

Effects of Systematic Orienting Stimuli on Comatose Patients : Six Case Studies
… investigate the effect of meaningful, systematic orienting stimuli (SOS) provided by professional nurse clinicians and a patient's significant others as evaluated by the criterion variables of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores to measure the level of arousal and serum thyroxine (T<sub>4</sub>) …

Design of an automated sorting and orienting machine for electronic pins
… pin insertion system separates the sorting and orienting of the pin from the insertion of the pin into a PCB. This system decoupling allows for more reliable pin delivery, which can in turn increase the insertion speed and reliability. This thesis focuses on sorting and orienting of the pin. The …

Emotional engagement and orienting: the effects of picture size on affective response
… imminence of dangers and appetitive cues. The Orienting Response (OR) is a fundamental response pattern that an organism executes whenever a novel or significant stimulus is detected, and has been shown to be consistently modulated by the affective value of a stimulus. However, detecting …

Design and development of an automated sorting and orienting machine for vials
… and automates the process of sorting and orienting loose state vials. It is the first stage of the proposed solution and facilitates later actions that load vials into trays. The sorting machine accepts loose bulk of vials and continuously outputs a stream of vials that are oriented in the …

Text orienting cues: Enhancing dynamic visual acuity for targets of unknown origin
Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) refers to an observer's ability to resolve a critical detail in a visual target under conditions of relative motion between an observer and a target. DVA research has conventionally used visual targets originating from a single fixation point and moving in a predictable …

The development and plasticity of visuo-spatial orienting behaviors and underlying circuitry in adolescent mice
… predation behaviors and visual motion-induced orienting between adolescents and adults in both sexes of C57BL6/J mice. We found that adolescent mice of both sexes fed ad-libitum on standard mouse chow detected and approached live insects faster, more frequently and spent more time in proximity …

Visual orienting to eye gaze in individuals with high and low levels of autistic traits
… recorded. Results indicated no differences in orienting between the high and low group. This suggests that the atypical cueing effects found in those with autism do not extend to the typical population as a function of autistic trait. Furthermore, error rates on the anti-saccade task suggest a …
