Knobe (2003a, 2003b, 2004b) and others have demonstrated the surprising fact that the valence of a side-effect action can affect intuitions about whether that action was performed intentionally. Here we report the results of an experiment that extends these findings by testing for an analogous effect regarding knowledge attributions. Our results suggest that subjects are less likely to find tha...

Deployable reflector antennas illuminated by a digital feed array enable spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems to image an ultrawide, continuous swath at fine azimuth resolution. This is facilitated the use of dedicated imaging modes and multidimensional beamforming (DBF) techniques. article part 1 tutorial trilogy, where focus put on required onboard functionality, operational tech...

This morning Roy Schwitters reported several indications thainew particles are being produced at center-of-mass energies (EC, m0 ) above 4 TV0 Then Gerry Abrams told us that a large fraction of #’ decays are unaccounted for.
