This paper discusses the development of a gestural controller interface for contemporary vocal performance and electronic processing called the eMic (extended Mic-stand interface controller). This instrument is a modified microphone stand, custom fitted with an array of sensors and gesture capturing devices aimed at capturing commonly used gestures and movements of vocal performers who use micr...

The Ministry of Health and Welfare of Korea recently designated cerebrovascularspecified centers (CSCs) to improve the regional stroke care system for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. This study was performed to evaluate the changes in the flow of AIS patients between hospitals and to describe the role of the Emergency Medical Information Center (EMIC) after the designation of the CSCs. Da...

We examined the growth and propagation of fine-structured electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves related to time-varying density irregularities using multipoint measurement data observed by Arase, Van Allen Probe A, two ground-based induction magnetometers (Gakona Dawson) during a field line conjunction event on April 18, 2019. analyzed wave obtained aforementioned spacecraft stations, foun...

The primary goal of the project was to understand the cultural similarities and differences in perception, adoption and usage of technology across three cultures (US, India and China) in the domain of home entertainment. The methodology used for this research project includes a combination of “etic” and “emic” studies of the cultures. The etic perspective is based on literature review of variou...

The purpose of this study was to examine the integration of indigenous values developed in Turkey to Schwartz's universal values. Students (N = 593) from six universities in Istanbul responded the value scale, which consists of 10 etic PVQ items (each item representing one of 10 main Schwartz values) and 23 emic WAG items (representing work-achievement goals). PROXSCAL, a multidimensional scali...

In recent years, there has been a growing body of direct experimental evidence demonstrating electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves driving energetic electron precipitation (EEP) at unexpectedly low, sub-MeV energies—as low as only few hundred keV. EMIC-wave driven scattering these energies important ramifications for our understanding not radiation belt dynamics, but also the importance EM...

This paper looks at healing performances as ethnographic expressions of local knowledge and culture embedded within the Malay psyche and gemeinschaft. As society develops and progresses, these healing performances are caught within conflicting trajectories which become compounded by the contestations of tradition, religious concerns, locality and modernity. As exemplifications of the Malay etho...

A 4-year-old girl is presented suffering from severe hypertension due to hemolyticu~emic syndrome. Injection of reserpine and hydralazine was ineffective. Captopril, an oral angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor, showed the dramatic hypotensive effect in our patient.

We present a model study that investigates to what extent it is possible to introduce ENSO variability to an Earth system Model of Intermediate Complexity (EMIC). The Zebiak–Cane ENSO model is dynamically coupled to the EMIC CLIMBER-3a, which by itself exhibits no interannual or multidecadal variability. ENSO variability is introduced to CLIMBER-3a by adding ENSO-related sea surface temperature...
