compared in their ability to process secondary task
information while executing a primary one-handed catching
task. On 40% of the trials, a secondary visual...
Objective: There are currently 6,000-7,000 recognized rare disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 10 Americans. While each rare disease is unique, the experience of having a rare condition is relatively common. It is this common experience of having a rare disease during the Covid-19 pandemic that we aim to represent with...
Understanding connectivity among exploited populations is critical to their sustainable management and long-term viability. In the marine environment, estimates of connectivity often rely on the use of genetic markers, as dispersal primarily occurs during a planktonic larval phase which is difficult to track using direct methods. In this thesis, we...
