Beyond shared signals: The role of downward gaze in the stereotypical representation of sad facial expressions.

According to the influential , perceived gaze direction influences the recognition of emotion from the face, for example, gaze averted sideways facilitates the recognition of sad expressions because both gaze and expression signal avoidance. Importantly, this approach assumes that gaze direction is an independent cue that influences emotion recognition. But could gaze direction also impact emotion recognition because it is part of the stereotypical representation of the expression itself? In Experiment 1, we measured gaze aversion in participants engaged in a facial expression posing task.

Transparent Carbon Ultramicroelectrode Arrays for the Electrochemical Detection of a Bacterial Warfare Toxin, Pyocyanin.

Pyocyanin is a virulence factor produced as a secondary metabolite by the opportunistic human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Fast and direct detection of pyocyanin is of importance as it could provide important insights regarding P. aeruginosa's virulence mechanisms.

Learning about computers.

Although this first experience with computer content accomplished what the faculty had hoped for, it also raised questions that had to be answered. For example, is it feasible for a faculty member to be present at all computer practice sessions? Can a project be developed in one semester and implemented in another? Could computer technology be incorporated in all courses so that there is no time gap between its introduction and application? Should a separate course on computer use be incorporated into the curriculum? If faculty's objectives for student education in nursing include knowledge of computers in professional practice, should this also hold true for nursing educators? After evaluating the success of their efforts to incorporate computer technology into the curriculum, C. W.
