This review collates and examines critically a theoretically convergent but widely dispersed body of research on the influence of external environments on the functioning of families as contexts of human development. Investigations falling within this expanding domain include studies of the interac ..."

The faculty of language: what is it, who has it, and how did it evolve?
- Science,
, 2002
"... We argue that an understanding of the faculty of language requires substantial interdisciplinary cooperation. We suggest how current developments in linguistics can be profitably wedded to work in evolutionary biology, anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience. We submit that a distinction should ..."

Concerning similarity, it would note that all living things are designed on the basis of highly
The quality of qualitative research.
, 1999
"... A variety of conceptions of qualitative research exist, with competing claims as to what counts as good quality work. Rather than opting for the criteria promoted by A lot of effort has been expended by methodologists over the years, trying to give some guidance to qualitative researchers in improv ..."

. Explicit discussions of quality in social research, though, began from concerns designated with words such as validity and reliability, developed within the quantitative or scientific tradition, and then moved on under the pressure of critique from the qualitative research community. At first, this led
Simulating dynamical features of escape panic
- Nature
"... One of the most disastrous forms of collective human behaviour is the kind of crowd stampede induced by panic, often leading to fatalities as people are crushed or trampled. Sometimes this behaviour is triggered in life-threatening situations such as fires in crowded buildings; 1,2 at other times, s ..."

Visual navigation in insects: Coupling of egocentric and geocentric information
- Journal of Experimental Biology
, 1996
"... Social hymenopterans such as bees and ants are centralplace foragers; they regularly depart from and return to fixed positions in their environment. In returning to the starting point of their foraging excursion or to any other point, they could resort to two fundamentally different ways of navigati ..."

, they are expected, at least by some authors, to use a map-based system of navigation, i.e. to obtain positional information by virtue of the spatial position they occupy within a larger environmental framework. In bees and ants, path integration employing a skylight compass is the predominant mechanism
GeoNotes: Social and Navigational Aspects of Location-Based Information Systems
, 2001
"... Abstract. Location-based information systems allow the user to access information in relation to the user’s position in geographical space. This paper outlines navigational and social aspects of such systems. It is argued that location-based systems must allow users to participate as content provide ..."

Moreover, as these systems allow commercial and private users to annotate space with information on a mass-scale, information filtering techniques will become essential in order to prevent information overload and user disturbance.

Social Potentials for Scalable Multi-Robot Formations
, 2000
"... Potential function approaches to robot navigation provide an elegant paradigm for expressing multiple constraints and goals in mobile robot navigation problems [9]. As an example, a simple reactive navigation strategy can be generated by combining repulsion from obstacles with attraction to a goal. ..."
