Previous studies have proved that partial information transmission can be found between intensity and pitch. In our last study, it was demonstrated that the timbre attribute can be transmitted as partial information between timbre and intensity. We manipulated the two attributes of stimulus, namely, timbre (piano vs. violin) and pitch (high vs. low), to find out whether they also have partial i...

All the energetic management and controlling strategies in ambient air conditioning systems (ACS) are aimed to match design load current needs. This might be achieved by determining a rational value of thermal without overestimation that can minimize its deviation from actual values. The application variable refrigerant flow (VRF) with speed-regulated compressors (SRC) is considered as most adv...

In many everyday situations, we bias our perception from the top down, based on a task or an agenda. Frequently, this entails shifting attention to a specific attribute of a particular object or scene. To explore the cost of shifting top-down attention to a different stimulus attribute, we adopt the task-set switching paradigm, in which switch trials are contrasted with repeat trials in mixed-t...

We introduce a method for improving facial attribute predictions using other attributes. In the domain of face recognition and verification, attributes are high-level descriptions of face images. Attributes are very useful for identification as well as image search as they provide easily understandable descriptions of faces, rather than most other image descriptors (i.e. HOG, LBP, and SIFT). A ...

Abstract The sliding mode control has the property of independence from characteristics unchangeable part automatic stabilization system (ASS). In article, this is proposed to be applied ASS stabilize horizontal working plane using two hydraulic cylinders. A model been developed. paper synthesizes a law for and simulates operation on MATLAB-SIMULINK. simulation results indicate that stable work...

respect to our microbial communities. The authors do the field a service by making it very clear that there is much to be learned, and that even their published book is not absolute by virtue of being the latest news. In addition, the hand-drawn illustrations are appealing and contribute to perception that far from being immortalized in official, unchangeable textbook figures, the microbiome is...

With the constant development of food packaging industry, the traditional food packaging industry has been out of date in the new era, which requires the emergence of a new type of food packaging to replace the traditional one. As a trend of new food packaging development, green food packaging is safer, healthier and with more environmental features. Since it is a kind of new packaging material...

It is a fundamental principle of social philosophy, fixed and unchangeable, that one should not withdraw from individuals and commit to the community what they can accomplish by their own enterprise and industry. So, too, it is an injustice and at the same time a grave evil and a disturbance to right order to transfer to the larger and higher collectivity functions which can be performed and pr...

Why do people's impulse controls break down during emotional distress? Some theories propose that distress impairs one's motivation or one's ability to exert self-control, and some postulate self-destructive intentions arising from the moods. Contrary to those theories, Three experiments found that believing that one's bad mood was frozen (unchangeable) eliminated the tendency to eat fattening ...
