Ethnic and gender discrimination in a variety of markets has been documented in several populations. We conducted an online field experiment to examine ethnic and gender discrimination in the private rental housing market in Finland. We sent 1459 inquiries regarding 800 apartments. We compared responses to standardized apartment inquiries including fictive Arabic-sounding, Finnish-sounding or S...

Networked communications accord the voice renewed spatial significance. How does the mobile phone influence the use and design of spaces? The conventions for modulating the voice in face-to-face exchanges are well established. But in the case of mobile communications the voice may be raised to abnormal levels. The raised voice overcomes ambient interference, and spatial distance. The voice is a...

The use of magnetic fields in targeted drug delivery, especially for treatment of cancers and tumoral regions, is one of the significant techniques in the field of modern methods of treatment. Considering that many vital biological tissues have been located deep in the body, then for targeted drug delivery and effective treatment in these tissues, it is required to bring therapeutic agent to th...

[1] The Martian ionosphere’s local total electron content (TEC) and the neutral atmosphere scale height can be derived from radar echoes reflected from the surface of the planet. We report the global distribution of the TEC by analyzing more than 750,000 echoes of the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS). This is the first direct measurement of the TEC of the Mar...

virtual environments, and information display applications need dynamic sound models rather than faithful audio reproductions. This implies three levels of research: auditory perception, physicsbased sound modeling, and expressive parametric control. Parallel progress along these three lines leads to effective auditory displays that can complement or substitute visual displays. W hen designing ...

Introduction: In the frame of the NetLander mission, the Centre d’étude des Environnements Terrestre et Planétaires (CETP) has developed an impulse ground penetrating radar (GPR) operating at very low central frequencies from 2 to 6 MHz [1]. This instrument, named TAPIR (Terrestrial And Planetary Investigation Radar), aims at exploring the geological features in the deep Martian subsurface and ...

We present results from a deep seismic sounding (DSS) experiment carried out along the southern coast of Finland in summer 2015. Data used survey derived industrial blasts recorded by temporary project stations and permanent network stations. The western 220 km part 450 long Southern Coastal (SOFIC) profile runs Uusimaa belt (UB) 1.7–1.9 Ga subprovince (SFS) Svecofennian domain, while 170 east ...

Deep seismic sounding (DSS) data provides an excellent opportunity to accurately delineate the crustal structure of a given region owing fact that location and origin time source (Chemical explosion) are available. India Meteorological Department is carrying out such surveys since early 1970's. In this paper. wave velocities in upper part crust southern central West Bengal estimated from three ...
