Performance and load testing data of a three bladed two stage LENZ type vertical axis wind turbine from the experiments conducted in an open environment condition at Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science, Chennai (location 23.2167°N, 72.6833°E) are presented here. Low-wind velocity ranging from 2 to 11 m/s is available everywhere irrespective of climatic seasons and this data provides t...

Mon-Williams and Bingham (2011) developed an affordance model of the spatial structure of reaches-to-grasp. With a single free parameter (P), the model predicted the safety margins (SMs) exhibited in maximum grasp apertures (MGAs), during the approach of a hand to a target object, as a function of an affordance measure of object size and a functional measure of hand size. An affordance analysis...

A series of experiments demonstrated that a 5-s train of clicks that have been shown in previous studies to increase the subjective duration of tones they precede (in a manner consistent with "speeding up" timing processes) could also have an effect on information-processing rate. Experiments used studies of simple and choice reaction time (Experiment 1), or mental arithmetic (Experiment 2). In...

We calculate the field emitted by a pulsed point source above a planar interface. It is found that the observed power spectrum can differ significantly from the emitted spectrum. Also, the observed power spectrum depends strongly on the wave speeds in the two media and on the position of the observation point with respect to the interface and the source.

Previous research using nonchronometric measures in humans and animals has shown that warning signals can influence stages of processing throughout the reaction time (RT) interval. However, latency measures indicate that warning effects on RT are not due to the speeding of motor processes, at least not late ones. To better isolate the chronometric effects of temporal preparation, we used latera...
