Sensory Neuroscience:Four Laws of Psychophysics examines both psychophysics, the science of relationships between human sensations, and the stimuli that evoke them. More specifically, it defines four multisensory relationships of great generality between sensation magnitudes and the underlying stimulus magnitudes. Although, psychophysics belongs to sensory neuroscience and is strongly coupled to neurophysiology, it also has branched out to var...

R-curve behaviour is often used for evaluating crack growth resistance in quasi-brittle materials. Few studies have focused on polycrystalline graphite. In this work, R-curve behaviour in three commercial grade nuclear graphites, of varying structure and properties is compared using various techniques to measure crack length. Two of the graphites are coarse-grained and the third is fine grained. Different fracture mechanics specimens were empl...

Superconductivity and magnetism usually try to avoid each other. This feature can be exploited to, for example, levitate a magnet above superconductor. However, the recent discovery of magnetic materials that are also superconductors has reconciled these two physical phenomena that were previously thought to be incompatible. Very recently different experimental investigations have been performed which show the possible coexistence of the two s...

Aber als es vorbei war und die Uhr weitertickte, rein ins nächste Jahrzehnt, kam das deutliche Gefühl, dass es weitergehen sollte. M...

In the aftermath of the recent financial crisis, the introduction of particular clauses in the debt contracts may represent an useful instrument to enhance their efficiency. Covenants are agreements that give the creditors more guarantees about the reliability of their loan: when they are breached, they allow the lenders to take certain actions, as the early repayment of the loan or the change of the debt''s terms, in order to protect them aga...

This study focuses on the transformation of a rural-based organization, the Lower Guruve Development Association, formed in 1982 in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa, an area plagued by economic, social, and political conflict, famine, and an HIV/AIDs pandemic. The Association, a non-governmental organization, serves rural farmers by establishing and managing commercial ventures involving fishing, land tillage and harvesting, and produce distribution,...

The purpose of the present paper is to identify the problems that Japanese interpreting students may encounter and to establish causes for them in the expectation that they may help devise a method that should ideally be incorporated in a training program. For this purpose, nine participants who were interpreting students were asked to consecutively interpret four different English texts. It was discovered that the participants had a tendency ...

Most of the present literature in industrial relations is concentrated on trade unions, rarely are employers and their organisations mentioned. In fact, employers'' organisations (EO) are one of the most important actors in the industrial relations system of any country. To fill this gap, this book presents the concepts of employers'' organisation as a major actor in the Thai industrial relations system, the legal framework of EO in Thailand, ...

Malnutrition can lead to increases in mortality, morbidity, lowers labour productivity and reduces school performance. Children below five years of age are the most vulnerable to malnutrition. The study was conducted to identify causes of recurrence of malnutrition among children below five years of age in Kiroka village in Rural Morogoro, Tanzania. The prevalence rates of stunting, underweight, wasting, and morbidity were 43%, 13%, 3%, and 87...

Geo textiles have evolved as an integral part of the Technical Textile Industry. It adds value addition and has a great export potential.

There is concern documentary is undergoing a crisis in production. A common criticism alleges the genre''s sacrosanct reputation to reveal 'truth and reality'' becomes vulnerable when art and drama merge in filmic text. Media practitioners are increasingly mixing fiction with fact, entertainment with information. Films based on historical time, events and people have not been immune to these changes. This study looks at two visual accounts tha...
