The current study examined whether stimuli of different preference levels would be associated with different amounts of work maintained by the stimuli, as determined through progressive-ratio schedule break points. Using a paired-choice preference assessment, stimuli were classified as high, moderate, or low preference for 4 individuals with developmental disabilities. The stimuli were then tes...

Using Precise Point Positioning (PPP) we show the potential for comparing frequency standards with time stabilities of under 300 ps in flicker phase noise for time periods of 1 to 10 d. This leads to comparisons at 1 part in 10 or better at 10 d. We compare short baseline PPP results with 2 hour data from the NIST Measurements System. We compare results from the NIST – USNO baseline with hourly...

In this paper we suggest panel data unit root tests which allow for a potential structural break in the individual e¤ects and/or the trends of each series of the panel, assuming that the time-dimension of the panel, T , is ...xed. The proposed test statistics consider for the case that the break point is known and for the case that it is unknown. Monte Carlo evidence suggests that they have siz...

Utilizing a novel, hybrid molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulation, we report on microstructural changes in a polymer network that arise in response to oscillatory shear deformation. We model telechelic selfassociating polymers as a course-grained, bead−spring system. The stress response of the system is obtained from rheological experiments and is reported as a function of frequency and ampl...

The objective of the research described in this paper is to develop a Kalman filter-based functional model for single-frequency positioning which is suitable for low dynamic platforms such as cars or boats. No external sensors are used and the precise velocity information comes from the time-differenced carrier-phase measurements. The Kalman filter combines these measurements with undifferenced...

Human listeners are extraordinarily sensitive to a transient break in interaural correlation (called binaural gap). In this study, a binaural gap embedded in interaurally correlated noise markers elicited marked scalp event-related potentials (ERPs). ERPs to the binaural gap in narrowband noise with the center frequency of 1600 Hz were significantly weaker than those for narrowband noise with t...

We analyzed the rapid aperiodic X-ray variability of different types of X-ray binaries (black hole candidates, atoll sources, the recently discovered millisecond X-ray pulsar, and Z sources) at their lowest inferred mass accretion rates. At these accretion rates, the power spectra of all sources are dominated by a strong band-limited noise component, which follows a power law with an index roug...
