The sounds accompanying electrophonic burster meteors are characteristically described as being akin to short duration “pops” and staccato–like “clicks”. As a phenomenon distinct from the enduring electrophonic sounds that occasionally accompany the passage and ablation of large meteoroids in the Earth’s lower atmosphere, the bursters have proved stubbornly difficult to explain. A straightforwa...

Interior design is a process of conditioning specific atmosphere, which relates to the concept 'staging space.' As interior inherently designed create an illusory world, 'illusive, simulative' space can be used interchangeably with real-imagined and cinema. This article will examine three horror films focus on how mise-en-scene atmosphere. The A Mother's Love, Tatami, POB embodied semantic mean...

The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of electrical and gas stunning on the meat and liver quality characteristics of liver geese. Sixty birds were slaughtered at 12 wk of age, in groups of 20 at three different times. Thirty birds each were subjected to one of the two stunning methods. Deboned breast fillets and thigh muscles were evaluated for hemorrhaging, amount of b...

The intricate interplay of atmospheric shock waves and a complex, variable radiation field with non-equilibrium dust formation presents a considerable challenge to self-consistent modelling of atmospheres and winds of AGB stars. Nevertheless it is clear that realistic models predicting mass loss rates and synthetic spectra are crucial for our understanding of this important phase of stellar evo...

We calculate detailed chemical abundance profiles for a variety of brown dwarf and extrasolar giant planet atmosphere models, focusing in particular on Gliese 229B, and derive the systematics of the changes in the dominant reservoirs of the major elements with altitude and temperature. We assume an Anders and Grevesse (1989) solar composition of 27 chemical elements and track 330 gas–phase spec...

Product designers use imagery for inspiration in their creative design process. To support creativity, designers apply many tools and techniques, which often rely on their ability to be inspired by found and previously made visual material and to experience the atmosphere of the user environment. Computer tools and developments in VR offer perspectives to support this kind of imagery and presen...
