The involvement of metacognition in mindfulness is already acknowledged in recent mindfulness models. The focus of the current paper is on how mindfulness may be seen to involve a particular subcategory of metacognitive feeling referred to as fringe consciousness. Fringe feelings are in themselves consciously experienced but have been demonstrated to reflect nonconscious context information and...

Moiré topography has the advantage of requiring only a single image to obtain a three-dimensional measurement, but it cannot discern the fringe order. Because there is an ambiguity problem when calculating the depth range by use of fringe intensity or phase unwrapping, it is impossible to obtain an absolute phase and an absolute depth range. It is therefore difficult to discern the relation bet...

Soft elastic layers with top and bottom surfaces adhered to rigid bodies are abundant in biological organisms and engineering applications. As the rigid bodies are pulled apart, the stressed layer can exhibit various modes of mechanical instabilities. In cases where the layer's thickness is much smaller than its length and width, the dominant modes that have been studied are the cavitation, int...

The Notch pathway mediates cell-cell interaction in many developmental processes. Multiple proteins regulate the Notch pathway, among these are the products of the fringe genes. The first fringe gene was identified in Drosophila, where it is involved in the formation of the dorsal/ventral border of the wing disc. It has now been found to be crucial for determining the dorsal/ventral border of t...

sumers all seem to agree on. Concern for the environment is no longer a fringe issue that interests only a small segment of the population, and industries – including plastics – have taken heed. Lessening the impact on the environment often results in cost savings, in particular when it comes to saving energy, a key element in the environmental improvement equation. The fact is, increasing ener...

In many cases the most accurate information about fields in a magnet comes either from direct measurement or from a numerical computation done with a 3D electromagnetic code. In this paper we show how this information can be used to compute transfer maps with high accuracy. The resulting transfer maps take into account all effects of real beamline elements including fringe-field and multipole e...

We have previously introduced a computational architecture suitable for driving full-color holographic display systems based around anisotropic leaky-mode modulators; this architecture appropriately handles single-sideband modulation and frequency-division multiplexing of spectral bands that correspond to the independent red, green, and blue color channels in the display output. In this paper, ...

We consider a supply function equilibrium (SFE) model of interaction in an electricity market. We assume a linear demand function and consider a competitive fringe and several strategic players all having capacity limits and affine marginal costs. The choice of SFE over Cournot equilibrium and the choice of affine marginal costs is reviewed in the context of the existing literature. We assume t...
