In Mangan's (2001) account of fringe consciousness there is a tension between the proposal that fringe feelings are often difficult to attend and evidence that detailed introspections of such feelings are sometimes possible. This tension might be resolved if we distinguish between two different components of attention. The ability to direct attention to fringe feelings is needed to fulfill frin...

Fringe proteins are beta1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases that modulate signaling through Notch receptors by modifying O-linked fucose on epidermal growth factor domains. Fringe is highly conserved, and comparison among 18 different Fringe proteins from 11 different species identifies a core set of 84 amino acids that are identical among all Fringes. Fringe is only distantly related to other...

A two-wavelength plasma density interferometer utilizing a CO(2) laser and an HeNe laser is described. The interferometer is being designed for use on Doublet III, a large noncircular cross-section tokamak. The use of the two wavelengths allows the distinction between fringe shifts due to plasma density and fringe shifts due to mirror vibrations. Plasma density fringe shifts of 1/10 of a fringe...

Mangan's (2001) concept of fringe consciousness is too heavily based on informal introspection, and too all-embracing to constitute a coherent family. It lacks the tight operationalisation needed to identify individual examples of fringe consciousness, and to test Mangan's theoretical account against detailed findings from empirical research. I propose a more focused two-component operationalis...

Grating displacement measurement technique is an important means to achieve precise displacement measurement of nanometer scale. Moiré fringe phase difference measurement is the basis of grating displacement measurement technique. Traditional Moiré fringe subdivision method based on DFT algorithm has low frequency resolution relatively when extracting Moiré fringe fundamental frequency spectral...

It is a challenge for Phase Measurement Profilometry (PMP) to measure objects with a large range of reflectivity variation across the surface. Saturated or dark pixels in the deformed fringe patterns captured by the camera will lead to phase fluctuations and errors. Jiang et al. proposed a high dynamic range real-time 3D shape measurement method without changing camera exposures. Three inverted...

In this paper fringe capacitance of double hetero gate Tunnel FET has been studied. The physical model for fringe capacitance is derived considering source gate overlap and gate drain non overlap. Inerface trap charge and oxide charges are also introduced under positive bias stress and hot carrier stress and their effect on fringe capacitance is also studied. The fringe capacitance is significa...

Laser interferometric methods have been utilized for the measurement of natural convection heat transfer from a heated vertical flat plate, in the investigation presented here. The study mainly aims at comparing two different fringe orientations in the wedge fringe setting of Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), used for the measurements. The interference fringes are set in horizontal and vertica...

In the desert of Abarkoh Basin, Central Iran, the influence of playa-lake level fluctuations on recent sedimentation mode of a terminal ephemeral fluvial-fan system and adjacent lacustrine/aeolian sediments of a playa fringe environment has been investigated. The surface geomorphology-sedimentology and its relationship with shallow subsurface sediments along a >25 km transect, has been studied....

The fringe field effects of nano-electromechanical (NEM) nonvolatile memory cells have been investigated analytically for the accurate evaluation of NEM memory cells. As the beam width is scaled down, fringe field effect becomes more severe. It has been observed that pull-in, release and hysteresis voltage decrease more than our prediction. Also, the fringe field on cell characteristics has bee...
