This paper presents a dedicated system for de-icing trolley wires. The proposed issue is appropriately under the protection of intellectual property solving as described in patent no.B1 230665 PL Patent Office Republic Poland. In solution presented herein, achieved mainly by electrodynamic force excitation and secondarily result heating. Because ice removed primarily through vibrations, it avoi...

Trolley problems have been used in the development of moral theory and the psychological study of moral judgments and behavior. Most of this research has focused on people from the West, with implicit assumptions that moral intuitions should generalize and that moral psychology is universal.

Although moral dilemmas such as the trolley and footbridge dilemmas (Thomson, 1986) have been widely employed to investigate the nature of moral reasoning, but their psychometric properties remain a mystery. In this study, 219 participants completed 62 moral dilemma tasks used in Greene et al. (2001), and the correlation structure among the dilemmas was analyzed through factor analysis and stru...

An overhead crane transports cargoes of various weights and volumes depending on the operation case. Friction factors characterized by damped coefficients are changeable in terms of the operating environment. In this study, an adaptive version of the sliding mode control of a crane system is developed in the case of no priori knowledge of the payload mass and damped elements. Using two inputs, ...

We examined the effects of framing and order of presentation on professional philosophers' judgments about a moral puzzle case (the "trolley problem") and a version of the Tversky & Kahneman "Asian disease" scenario. Professional philosophers exhibited substantial framing effects and order effects, and were no less subject to such effects than was a comparison group of non-philosopher academic ...

Using an intergroup version of the trolley problem, we explored participants' willingness to sacrifice their lives for their group. In Study 1, Spaniards whose personal identities were fused with their group identity endorsed saving fellow Spaniards by jumping to their deaths in front of a runaway trolley. Studies 2 and 3 showed that the self-sacrificial behaviors of fused Spaniards generalized...
