DRONE GAME THAT HIGHLIGHTS ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS OF DESIGN DECISIONS

Siara Ruth Isaac, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Gianni Lodetti, Barbara Bruno

This paper reports on the development of a brief scenario-based challenge to prompt engineering students’ reflection about the broader impacts of their design decisions, and thereby increase their ethical sensitivity and motivation. The game scenario asks ...

Constitutive differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness are related to divergent spatial information processing abilities

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Simone Astori, Eleni Vasilaki, Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress response facilitates survival through adaptation and is intimately related to cognitive processes. The Morris water maze task probes spatial learning and memory in rodents and glucocorticoids (i.e. corticosterone (CORT) in rats) have been sugges ...

Learning Recruits Neurons Representing Previously Established Associations in the Corvid Endbrain

Galyna Pidpruzhnykova

Crows quickly learn arbitrary associations. As a neuronal correlate of this behavior, single neurons in the corvid endbrain area nidopallium caudolaterale (NCL) change their response properties during association learning. In crows performing a delayed ass ...

Vulnerability of conditional NCAM-deficient mice to develop stress-induced behavioral alterations

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Reto Bisaz

Previous studies in rodents showed that chronic stress induces structural and functional alterations in several brain regions, including shrinkage of the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex, which are accompanied by cognitive and emotional disturbances. ...

Learning, Stress and the Role of Personality Profiles in Rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Basira Salehi

Stress has been shown to modulate many aspects of physiology and behavior. In particular, substantial work has confirmed that stress is a strong modulator of learning and memory processes. It is more than a century that Yerkes and Dodson have shown that re ...

Infrared spectroscopy of hydrated amino acids in the gas phase: protonated and lithiated valine

Thomas Rizzo, Rainer Beck, Oleg Boyarkine, Sébastien Mercier, Anthi Kamariotou, Evan Rowland Williams

We report here infrared spectra of protonated and lithiated valine with varying degrees of hydration in the gas phase and interpret them with the help of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31++G** level. In both the protonated and lithiated species, our resul ...
