Modeling Injury Severity for Nighttime and Daytime Crashes by Using Random Parameter Logit Models Accounting for Heterogeneity in Means and Variances by Chenzhu Wang, Ping Zhang, Fei Chen, Jianchuan Cheng

“…By using a random parameter approach to account for unobserved heterogeneity, multivariate logit (RPML) models are proposed to analyze the crash severity based on the explanatory factors in terms of the crash, traffic, speed, road geometry, and sight characteristics. The goodness-of-fit and predictive measures highlight the better performance of the proposed models relative to standard models, as the proposed models reduce the unobserved heterogeneity and yield higher precision. …”

Pantropical Jumping Spiders in Florida by Glavis B. Edwards, Jr.

“… Jumping spiders, or salticids, are so named because they have a highly coordinated jumping ability with which they capture prey and traverse from plant to plant. Their sense of sight is extraordinary for invertebrates; they can see in color (DeVoe 1975), and the large front eyes focus on objects (Land 1972). …”

Plasticity of the Dorsal “Spatial” Stream in Visually Deprived Individuals by Giulia Dormal, Franco Lepore, Olivier Collignon

“…Bringing together evidence from cataract-reversal individuals, early- and late-blind individuals and sight-recovery cases of long-standing blindness, we suggest that the dorsal “spatial” pathway is mostly plastic early in life and is then more resistant to subsequent experience once it is set, highlighting some limits of neuroplasticity.…”

Constraints on the Origin of the Martian Dichotomy From Southern Highlands Marsquakes by Weijia Sun, Hrvoje Tkalčić

“…Here, we improve the signal‐to‐noise ratios and determine the locations of the low‐frequency marsquakes recorded during the InSight mission. We find a new cluster of marsquakes in Terra Cimmeria, Southern Highlands, in addition to those previously located in Cerberus Fossae, Northern Lowlands. …”

Eye-tracking in archaeological practice: applications, potential, and challenges by Tomasz Michalik

“…Eye-tracking is a powerful tool that enables the understanding of visual attention through analysis of gaze patterns. Although sight is one of the senses crucial for learning about the past, the eye-tracking technology is still rarely used in archaeology. …”

Beam Expansion of Blind Spot Detection Radar Antennas Using a Radome with Defected Corrugated Inner Wall by Hayeon Kim, Haengseon Lee, Jeonghoon Cho, Cheolbok Kim

“…The radar used for blind spot detection (BSD) requires a very wide beam width to ensure longer time for tracking out-of-sight objects. It is found that the corrugations modulate the phase velocities of the waves along the surface, which increases beam width in the far field. …”

« To see beyond the horizon of mere selfishness » : l’horizon moral dans les romans de George Eliot by Benjamine Toussaint

“…Her characters’ moral odyssey is about learning to see beyond the limits of their own self-centered experience; however, as Lydgate underlines in Middlemarch, « a man’s mind must be continually expanding and shrinking between the whole human horizon and the horizon of an object-glass. » We shall therefore focus not only on George Eliot’s insistence on the necessity « to see beyond the horizon of mere selfishness » but also on the idea that a genuine moral horizon can only exist in her eyes if people develop the capacity to contemplate various horizons, not only the most distant ones but also those that are the closest to them so that they should not neglect the sufferings of individuals for the sake of abstract ideals. Sight and vision are clearly linked in George Eliot’s novels and so is the notion of sympathy since Lydgate compares the idea of the mind shrinking and expanding with that of « a systole and a diastole » thus implicitly referring to the beating of the heart.…”
