The Electronic Whipping Boy
Seventy per cent of children aged five to seven and 50% of all children were viewing Batman at the height of its popularity. The average child spends nearly two hours every day viewing television after 6 p.m. Television for children is transmitted before 6 p.m. The B.B.C. and the I.T.A. acknowledge a responsibility for what goes out on the air before 9 p.m. because they recognise that children ...

Recent studies have cast doubt on the effectiveness of whipping horses during races and this has led to questions concerning its continuing justification. Furthermore, it has been argued that whipping tired horses in racing is the most televised form of violence to animals. The present study used de-identified data from a recent independent Australian poll (n = 1,533) to characterise the 26% of...
متن کاملElectrospinning: A whipping fluid jet generates submicron polymer fibers
Polymeric fibers with diameters in the range from 50 nm to 5 mm are produced by accelerating a fluid jet in an electric field, in a process known as ‘‘electrospinning.’’ Here we show that an essential element of the process is a fluid instability, the rapidly whipping jet. The phenomena responsible for the onset of whipping are revealed by a linear instability analysis that describes the jet be...

This is particularly so, given that it is generally recognized that training o...
متن کاملA Modelling of Springing, Whipping and Slamming for Ships
The slamming phenomenon is a violent impact of the hull of a ship on the free surface of the sea. This loading case is particularly difficult to modelize for several reasons: first of all, the wet surface of the hull is an unknown; then a coupling with the springing (flexibility of the ship) is very complex and finally the interaction with the waves (even if the eigenfrequencies of the structur...
