The chronometric redshift-distance relation z = tan 2(1/2rho), where rho is the distance in radians in the Einstein metric, is derived by an elementary geometric analysis comparable to that in traditional analysis of the expanding universe model. The differential dTt of Einstein time evolution Tt through time t, as applied to the local Minkowski coordinates x, takes the form sec2(1/2t). At the ...

Laser cooled and trapped atoms in an optical lattice operated at the magic wavelength, as illustrated cover image, play a leading part ultraprecise clock, referred to clock. In article number 2100015, Noriaki Ohmae co-workers developed transportable clocks that were outside laboratory with fractional uncertainty of 5.5 × 10−18. Their demonstration will accelerate field applications clocks, such...

this article studies sir walter scott’s use of the family-as-nation trope in ivanhoe and anne of geierstein. the importance of this trope in his figuration of nationhood is discerned by carrying out a close reading of the texts and placing them in their historical context, which primarily consists of a comparison with edmund burke and maria edgeworth. consequently, his position is revealed as b...

As the strength of a stimulus increases, the proportions of correct binary responses increases, which define the psychometric function. Simultaneously, mean reaction times (RT) decrease, which collectively define the chronometric function. However, RTs are traditionally ignored when estimating psychophysical parameters, even though they may provide additional Shannon information. Here, we exten...

Patient studies that combine functional magnetic resonance imaging with chronometric analysis of language dysfunction may reveal the critical contribution of brain areas to language processes as well as shed light on disease pathogenesis. In amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a prodromal stage of Alzheimer's disease, we examined whether the brain system for associative-semantic judgments...
