EEG theta power during Necker cube reversals
… neurophysiological model for Necker cube reversals by using electroencephalography. It is suggested that Necker cube reversals are mediated by sustained focused attention to the overall drawing with visual selective attention to vertices of the cube. The main hypotheses were that …

Two Essays on Momentum and Reversals in Stock Returns
… to information. I examine momentum and reversals conditional on firms’ share issuance (net of repurchases) during the momentum holding period and show that (1) among losers, the momentum returns are statistically significant, but the reversals are non-existent, for both issuers and …

Performance of RC Columns Retrofitted with UHPFRC Jackets Under Cyclic Displacement Reversals
It is the purpose of this study to evaluate, through combined experimental and analytical research, the performance of reinforced concrete columns with or without prior damage, after retrofitting with ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) jackets and subjected to cyclic loading …

The Erotic Charms of Platonic Discourse: Mythmaking, Love Potions, and Role Reversals
… stimulating discussions. Socrates also uses role reversals in the lover-beloved relationship to model the soul's ascent, contrasting the traditional roles with the way the lover and beloved are presented in Socrates' speeches. The novice must actively recollect Beauty itself in order to ascend, …

A numerical investigation of the influence of monsoonal wind reversals over the East African coastal ocean
… The monsoon is characterized by wind reversals and seasonality in the precipitation of a region. The surface circulation of the western Indian Ocean during the summer (JAS) and winter (JFM) monsoon winds is investigated using the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) ROMS is forced …

Analysis of Extreme Reversals in Seasonal and Annual Precipitation Anomalies Across the United States, 1895-2014
… in a study that analyzed extreme precipitation reversals for a region within the southwestern United States. That study found that large differences in precipitation from consecutive winters, a hydrologically critical season for the region, occurred more frequently than what would be expected …

The Search for the Opto-Kinetic Cervical Reflex and Reduced Roll Reversals in Pilots Viewing a 3-D Perspective Display
<p>Pilots using conventional instrumentation can suffer spatial disorientation (SD) when unexpectedly forced to transition from visual flight to instrument flight during roll maneuvers. This simulator study was conducted to see if a 3-D perspective display could prevent this form of spatial …

Climatology of the San Francisco Bay and the Initiation of Wind Reversals along the Western United States Coast Determined from AMDAR Data
… data to identify and quantify precursors to wind reversals along the central California coast, and (3) use the quantified magnitudes of the precursors to forecast wind reversals. A limiting factor in past studies of wind reversals was the lack of long-term monitoring of the lower atmosphere. While …

The Effects of Self-evaluation and Response Restriction on Letter and Number Reversal in Young Children.
… training package was successful in correcting reversals in the absence of a model during training and on application tests. These improvements maintained during subsequent follow-up sessions and generalized across trainers. Fading was not always necessary in correcting reversals, but was …

Estimating the probability of loss reversal
This study aims to examine loss reversals with an emphasis on the effect of research and development expenditures on the probability of experiencing loss reversals. This paper builds on previous research by examining a variety of company variables such as accruals, cashflows, dividends, company …

An investigation into the effects of acute alcohol on the inhibitory mechanisms of control involved in visual perception
… can also be assessed by consciously controlling reversals or reporting them under passive viewing conditions. The results do not support the alcohol myopia model as alcohol had a facilitatory effect on reversals. Instead, the results seem to be broadly in line with an alcohol-induced impairment …

Current account sustainability: evidence from South Africa
… behind large and persistent reductions ('reversals') in South Africa's current account. It begins by providing a theoretical analysis of current account sustainability based on the intertemporal optimisation of consumption, saving and investment decisions. Drawing on these theoretical …

Short-term share price overreaction : evidence from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange
… work has focused on longer-term share return reversals. As an emerging market and part of the BRICS collective, South Africa provides an interesting investment environment within which to investigate this phenomenon. Limited research has been done in South Africa on share price overreaction, …

Experimental study of turbulent heat transport in Alcator C-Mod
… of electron scale turbulence. Intrinsic rotation reversals in C-Mod plasmas were studied in this thesis. Similar changes in electron temperature fluctuations, the reduction of Te fluctuations near the edge, were observed across RF rotation reversals and Ohmic rotation reversals. The gyrokinetic …

The Effect of Response Preclusion on Stereotypy and Play in a Child with Autism.
… return to baseline levels of responding during reversals to baseline, and stereotypic behavior decreased across reversals. These results suggest the current antecedent manipulation not only reduces stereotypic behavior, but also can establish an environment that is more conducive to learning …

Rotation generation and transport in tokamak plasmas
… of rotation: momentum transport, Ohmic rotation reversals, and LHCD induced rotation. Momentum transport is approached in a semi-empirical method through the development of the "Toy Model." The "Toy Model" assumes that the toroidal momentum is transported via diffusive and convective profiles, …

Jesus' parables, language and the common world: A response to Dominic Crossan's theology of story
… has addressed the theological interpretation of reversals in Jesus' parables. Many reviewers of Crossan's work have expressed concern that in his theology of story the "common world" which is created in language is disqualified as a place where God may be encountered. This distortion results from …

Alcoholism and family structure
