The Imagined Moment

Searching Imagined Environments

Subjects read narratives describing directions of objects around a standing or reclimng observer, who was periodically reoriented. RTs were measured to identify which object was currently located beyond the observer's head, feet, front, back, fight, and left. When the observer was standing, head/feet RTs were fastest, followed by front/back and then right/left. For the reclining observer, front...

Imagined Worlds of Accounting

Science, engineering, and all other learned disciplines, as well as our socio-politicaleconomic organizations are artifacts—results of our imagination and ingenuity. Modern corporation—a marvel of organizational engineering—would not be possible without imagination. To run organizations, in the face of the centrifugal forces of divergent self-interest and inherently dispersed information, we ne...

3D monostatic wavefield tomography of comet interiors

Introduction: Fundamental answers about small planetary bodies origin and evolution hinge on our ability to image in detail their interior structure in 3D and at high resolution [2]. The interior structure is not easily accessible without redundant data, e.g., radar reflections observed from multiple viewpoints, as in medical tomography. The ideal targets for such investigation are Jupiter Fami...
