Abstract:
The growing holistic focus of HF/E leads inevitably to a consideration of the ‘system of all systems’, the Earth. Our part in the incipient destruction of its civilization- carrying capacity is antithetical to the stated goals and aspirations of our science.

Abstract:
The present experiment examined the effects of sex and handedness on the perception of brief intervals up to 20 s in duration. In order to obtain participants with sufficiently high scores on a scale of handedness, we screened 1,276 people; the process yielded 16 men and 16 women eligible for testing.

Abstract:
For most of the history of the modern automobile, the start function has been initiated by turning an ignition key which is typically carried on a keychain holding a bunch of keys that unlock many of the portals in our lives.
