consumer internet creates our modern “social fabric”.1The patterns of the fabric are based on market forces that serve human nature, but not always human needs. Content creators know that triggering a fear response, like outrage, is a very effective engagement...
Convergence of the neuronal, endocrine, and immune pathways represented a new frame for the research (Buckley et al.2014). Evidences indicate that a maladaptive stress response activated by the stress hormone corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) may be responsible to the activation, persistence and ...
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technique for delivering DC power to devices over copperEthernetcabling, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and outlets. While PoE doesn't add Ethernet data capabilities, it does offer expanded options for how and where Ethernet end devices can be pla...
Time is not reversible, but is a unidirectional process determined by the sequence of events (arrow of time), in which entropy grows in the direction of the sequence of events. Quantum reality has a reversible nature, so the entropy of the system is constant and therefore its description is...

What is one of the difficulties with the availability heuristic? What is catoptrophobia? What is proactive interference? What is maintenance rehearsal...
