adhesion level for the proper running of rail wheelset on track is crucial problem in detecting slippage to avoid accidents. the slippage of rail wheels has been observed applying forward and lateral motions to slip velocity and torsion motion. the longitudinal and lateral forces behavior is watched with respect to traction force to note correlation based on angle of attack. the deriving torque...

Abstract: Numerous acts done by teachers without proper consideration were impactful to students. This study determines the level of teacher cognition reinforcement and punishment concept in learning process at school. In addition, this also aims assign accuracy applying these concepts Mixed-method using embedded design was implemented address goals. As 49 responded from several schools Distric...

This research details the development of perception being observed scale. Consumers may think that their actions are (i.e., seen, watched, recorded, tracked) by other parties companies, governments, people) regardless actual knowledge about existence it. We develop a 10-item, uni-dimensional Following assessments scale, we conduct series studies to test scale's convergent, discriminant, nomolog...

I prove that an implementation technique for scanning lists in backtracking search algorithms is optimal. The result applies to a simple general framework, which I present: applications include watched literal unit propagation in SAT and a number of examples in constraint satisfaction. Techniques like watched literals are known to be highly space efficient and effective in practice. When implem...

Going back to basic physics, combine it with discrete mathematics and system theory, resulted in a powerful tool for generating dynamic process models that are consistent with the assumptions made, consistent with the basic physical laws, where appropriate, and are guaranteed structurally solvable. The user is left the freedom to map his view of the process in the model design process, thus has...

In March 2008, the German Federal Constitutional Court (GFCC) has passed an important, even though preliminary, decision concerning data retention. The GFCC’s decision accepts the storage of data, but greatly restricts their use to serious offenses like murder and organized crime. From an ethical point of view, it is particularly interesting to look at the justification given by the GFCC, which...

This study examined whether certain personality characteristics are associated with susceptibility to false memories. Participants first answered questions from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator in order to measure various personality characteristics. They then watched a video excerpt, the simulated eyewitness event. They were next encouraged to lie about the videotaped event during an interview....

Optimum arrangement of communication resources for a distance education system to support collaborative learning, including hand-manipulation of physical objects, was empirically investigated. The authors propose a ‘body metaphor’ concept, which follows the ordinary body arrangement in everyday instruction. It allows: (1) to display instructor’s pointer; (2) to display instructor’s face; (3) to...

The current study was designed to examine whether 1-year-old infants relate the perception of others' being touched to their own sensorimotor system, and whether they distinguish between animate and inanimate targets. During electroencephalography (EEG) assessment, infants watched video sequences in which either a human or a nonhuman target was touched/not touched by another object. Comparisons...

People often behave differently when they know they are being watched. Here, we report the first investigation of whether such social presence effects also influence looking behavior--a popular measure of attention allocation. We demonstrate that wearing an eye tracker, an implied social presence, leads individuals to avoid looking at particular stimuli. These results demonstrate that an implie...
