he producers include such individuals as composers and perormers for whom the main product either is creation of a new usical idea by the composer or re-creation of another’s novel dea by the performer—a subclassification that becomes impreise when the performance of music, itself, has a substantial reative component such as jazz. Furthermore, the expressive rges of composers have led to elabor...

The study investigated the effect of observational goals (i.e., impression formation and memory) on the process of observing ongoing behavior of others. Specifically, the amount of behavior extraction was studied. Forty-nine subjects were randomly assigned to impression and memory groups, and asked to watch a ten-minute video clip featuring a male actor in daily activities. The subjects in the ...

This contribution reports the results of the SHREC 2008 track on Stability on Watertight Models. This track saw six registrations of which only three participants effectively sent the results of their runs.

Four experiments investigated whether and how interpolated faces cause impairment to memories for related target faces. Participants viewed target faces and then saw a presentation of interpolated faces that were related to some of the targets. Modified tests, which offered target and novel faces as recognition alternatives, detected impairment effects after short retention intervals but not af...

NOMAD is an experiment searching for ; (e) oscillations in the CERN Wide Band Neutrino Beam. After its completion (August 1995), the detector has performed according to expectations and has been taking data since. A preliminary analysis, based upon the event sample collected in 1995, saw no evidence for oscillations, thus setting an upper limit in the mixing angle for high m 2

We discuss constraints on the right-handed Majorana mass scale MR of the SUSY see-saw model in the mSUGRA framework. The sensitivity of radiative lepton-flavor violating decays on MR is compared with the reach in lepton-flavor violating channels at a future linear collider.

During a seminar several years ago, a participant asked if I could offer a tool that would help him manage physician relations at his hospital. Seeing this question as an opportunity for a class dialogue, I asked participants, “What is the first image that comes to mind when you hear the word ‘tool’?” The majority replied “hammer.” A few shouted, “gun” or “machine gun.” One even bellowed “chain...
