Growing public interest in the phenomenon of mediumship, particularly among bereaved persons, suggests the need for renewed controlled studies of mediums, both to provide potential clients with criteria for judging mediums and to help researchers learn whether they can produce specific and accurate information to which they have had no normal access and, if so, under what conditions. Two resear...

The purpose of this study was to explore the personality and psychological wellbeing of Spiritualist mental mediums compared to nonmedium Spiritualists. A total of 159 Spiritualists (mediums = 80, nonmediums = 79) participated in a nationwide cross-sectional survey and completed measures of dissociation, boundary-thinness, psychological wellbeing, fantasy-proneness, and personality. Mediums sco...

The objective of this work is to show the potentiality of the Aitken-Schwarz domain decomposition method to simulate the transport of fluids solutions in heterogeneous underground mediums. To study the phenomenology of the hydraulic properties, we use a stochastic model, where the data are random variables according to a prescribed distribution. The techniques of homogenization to model the stu...

In this research, a coated graphite electrode was constructed for determination of Mg2+ in pharmaceutical supplements. The designed sensor demonstrates an ideal Nernstian slope (30.1 mV. Decade-1) over a wide concentration range (1×10-6- 1×10-1 Mol L-1). The selectivity of the sensor was evaluated over 16 different cations by matched potential method and no serious interference was observed fro...

This paper reports a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as biosensor. The FBGs were etched using chemical agent,namely,hydrofluoric acid (HF). implies the removal of some part cladding layer. Consequently, evanescent field propagating out core will be closer to environment and become more sensitive change in surrounding. proposed FBG sensor was utilized detect toxic heavy metal ions aqueous medium namel...
