Prediction for the He I Λ10830å Absorption Wing in the Coming Event of Eta Carinae

We propose an explanation to the appearance of a wide blue absorption wing in the He I λ10830Å P Cygni profile of the massive binary star η Car several months before periastron. We assume that the mixing regions of the two wind is accelerated by the secondary’s wind to ∼ 1800 km s, and is responsible for the absorption. We also assume that the secondary star is toward the observer at periastron...

The influence of event attributes on tourist’s loyalty: Evidence from the Ashoura event in Yazd City

Many studies have found that the perceived authenticity of cultural and religious events affects event satisfaction and loyalty. Little is currently known about how perceived authenticity is affected by the facilities, such as food and the availability of information, which are independent determinants of satisfaction and loyalty. This study aims to examine the antecedents of event loyalty. Que...

I heard that coming: event-related potential evidence for stimulus-driven prediction in the auditory system.

The auditory system has been shown to detect predictability in a tone sequence, but does it use the extracted regularities for actually predicting the continuation of the sequence? The present study sought to find evidence for the generation of such predictions. Predictability was manipulated in an isochronous series of tones in which every other tone was a repetition of its predecessor. The ex...

It was concluded that none of the various definitions are specific enough wRh regard to the idea of an actual physical split between the consciousness and the body.
