A novel theory of Openness/Intellect is proposed, which integrates intelligence and positive schizotypy (or apophenia, false detection of patterns or causal connections) within the Big Five. Openness/Intellect comprises a simplex of subtraits arrayed along a single scaling dimension. Openness traits fall in one half of the simplex, bounded by apophenia; Intellect traits fall in the other half, ...

I would be willing to wager that if an average citizen from Athens of 1000 BC were to appear suddenly among us, he or she would be among the brightest and most intellectually alive of our colleagues and companions. We would be surprised by our time-visitor’s memory, broad range of ideas and clear-sighted view of important issues. I would also guess that he or she would be among the most emotion...

this paper presents novel active filter for mitigation electromagnetic interference (emi) and other adverse effects of pulse width modulation (pwm) inverter-fed ac motor system. an active filter proposed and devised for this system is characterized by sophisticated connection of two small separate filters, capable of mitigating all the adverse effects. this paper provides high frequency models ...
