Dearraindrop is a five-member art collective based out of Virginia Beach, VA. The aim of our work is to create environments that submerge the participant in a sea of interrelated sound and visual elements. New York. We often perform at our shows with acoustic and electronic musical instruments we have created, reinforcing the link between the visual and auditory worlds. The installation include...

In both Pavlovian conditioning and human causal judgment, competition between cues is well known to occur when multiple cues are presented in compound and followed by an outcome. More questionable is the occurrence of competition between outcomes when a single cue is followed by multiple outcomes presented in compound. In the experiment reported here, we demonstrated blocking (a type of stimulu...

The translation vectors of the convenient unit cell, e.g. the cube edges of the fcc structure (which is not primitive) are used for the coordinate axes. The plane shown intercepts at 3, 2, 2 on the axes. As, by definition, these three points are not co-linear, therefore they can adequately define the plane. As we shall see later, the reciprocal of these numbers are more useful. First, reciproca...

This article summarizes a study of classroom television use. It describes the study methodology as "eclectic, drawing on traditions of action research ... ethnography ... history ... and constructivism..." (Ellipses in quote represent omitted citations.) The article is not particularly well organized. The author quotes extensively from the findings of earlier research studies, but does not alwa...

Engines equipped with camless valve trains will have greater space for performance optimization. In this paper, based on the electromagnetic actuated valve train system, one-dimensional and three-dimensional simulation models on engine thermodynamic cycle and in-cylinder charge motion are established, respectively. With the application of early-intake-valve closing (EIVC) strategy，unthrottled l...
