Using a high quality sound reproduction system and listening to SACD recordings compared to the same CD recordings, show significant quality differences between these two digital formats. In short: the high segment of the frequency range is much more fluent and open and natural sounding in SACD. Also the dynamic loudness range is larger in SACD. The profoundness and deepness of the bass-region ...

In Germany, every fourth fatal road traffic accident takes place in situations with oncoming traffic. Two out of three fatal accidents occur on two-lane rural roads. Overtaking maneuvers and loss-of-control situations are responsible for many of these accidents and they usually result in serious injuries or fatalities. This paper analyzes the basic accident mechanisms in oncoming traffic collis...

We report modeling results for electron cloud buildup in the ILC damping ring lattice design. Updated optics, wiggler magnets, and vacuum chamber designs have recently been developed for the 5 GeV, 3.2-km racetrack layout. An analysis of the synchrotron radiation profile around the ring has been performed, including the effects of diffuse and specular photon scattering on the interior surfaces ...

vision of a just society based on personal values--values either acknowledged as subjective or asserted to be empirically derived. What is missing? Why can't effective programs be designed-by us or others? As an applied behavior analyst who teaches and supervises clinical graduate students, I am often confronted with a problem which seems to me to have the same basic form: Students wonder why a...
