1 Abstract-A new parameter was recently developed by Jeffery M. Fisher (M.S.) for use in Active Structural Acoustic Control (ASAC) which showed potential for achieving better sound radiation reduction than current parameters. This parameter, known as “Vcomp,” uses spatial derivatives to approximate radiation mode shapes and was shown analytically to produce results comparable to control of radi...

The discussion about the interplay between theory and intervention has a long history and much has been written and published. The companion perspective papers by Rothman and Jeffery provide alternative points of view on this important and complex question. Their papers are not intended to be critical reviews of the literature. Instead, the aims of the two papers are to delineate the problem, p...

Press freedom and worldwide internet access have opened ample opportunity for a staggering number of poor open access journals and junk publishers to emerge. Dubious publishers are abusing and camouflaging the golden open access model. In 2012, Jeffery Beall shed light on the predatory journals (as he preferred to call them) and the threat to open access scientific publication. Publishing in pr...

The centrosome serves as the primary micro-tubule-organizing center in animal cells and, consequently, functions in many processes, such as migration and formation of the mitotic spindles. The centrosome consists of a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM), the platform for microtubule nucle-ation. The pair of centrioles duplicate once per cell cycle to ensure the equal ...

This article explores the growth of call center industry in Philippines and its effect on Filipino employees by critically comparing two recent books. Unlike those US India, centers have been relatively under-studied. More than one million worked as agents, not only Manila, but also major regional cities such Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod, Dumaguete. Their contribution to Philippine economy has decisiv...

This research has investigated the attitudes of students towards software metrics recording and accuracy. Metrics are analysed for students doing a final year Software Engineering class. Students were required to complete four group assignments, all which required the submission of metrics. A standard metrics collection template was provided for the students to complete. The metrics submitted w...

Fransızca “Orient” kelimesinden türeyen oryantalizm; kendini Batı kültür oluşumuna ait hisseden birinin, Doğu olarak betimlediği hakkında bilgi-belge derlemesi ve bunlar üzerinde gerekli çalışmaları gerçekleştirdikten sonra “Doğu” dediği imge yazması, konuşması birtakım yargılara varmasıdır. Söz konusu çalışmalara “Oryantalizm” bu yapanlara “Oryantalist” denir. Hz. Peygamberin hayatı, Arap dili...
