The weight of time: Affordances for an integrated magnitude system.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
In five experiments we explored the effects of weight on time in different action contexts to test the hypothesis that an integrated magnitude system is tuned to affordances. Larger magnitudes generally seem longer; however, Lu and colleagues (2009) found that if numbers were presented as weights in a range heavy enough to affect lifting, the "larger ...

Heart vector magnitude. A simple recording system

Journal of Electrocardiology, 1971
Summary The clinical application of spatial magnitude (SM) recording, using a specially constructed SM computer, is presented. The method allows routine recording of X, Y, Z and SM vectors and has been applied with success in 45 out of 50 patients. The failures have occurred in cases with atrial fibrillation or high heart rates.

Arithmetic Codes in Residue Number Systems with Magnitude Index

IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1978
Summary: The idea of adding a magnitude index to the residue representation of numbers is reconsidered. The range of a given residue number system is supposed to be divided into intervals of equal width, and the magnitude index of a number \(X\) is defined as an integer locating \(X\) into one of such intervals.

The Extension of the Fundamental System to Fainter Magnitudes

Celestial Mechanics, 1985
During the past 100 years the fundamental system has developed from a small list of 623 bright stars to one of 1535 stars. The compilation of the next fundamental catalog, the FK5, will involve the addition of some 3200 stars and will extend the system to magnitude 9.0. A number of criteria were used for selecting the 2000 stars in the seventh to ninth

The magnitude and color of the Saturn system

Icarus, 2011
Abstract Brightness measurements made during 1963–1965 and 1991–2009 are used in constructing models of the brightness of the Saturn system in the Johnson B, V, R and I system. The models cover nearly the full range of phase angles and ring opening angles visible from the Earth and are believed to be accurate to 0.03–0.05 magnitudes. A U-filter model

Homogeneous magnitude system of the eurasian continent

Tectonophysics, 1978
In spite of the great efforts of seismologists to develop the magnitude to one of the basic earthquake parameters with a clear physical significance, serious discrepancies appeared in both the individual station estimations and the mean values, given by different networks of stations and international agencies, for seismic waves of different types, and

Electoral Systems, District Magnitude and Corruption

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2004
The relationship between electoral systems and corruption in a large sample of contemporary democratic nations is analysed in this article. Whereas previous studies have shown that closed-list proportional representation is associated with greater (perceived) corruption than open-list PR, it is demonstrated here that this relationship fails to hold ...

Representation and district magnitude in plurality systems

Electoral Studies, 2014
Despite the widely accepted theoretical prediction that high district magnitudes should yield less proportional results in plurality systems, empirical evidence is surprisingly mixed. We argue that these mixed results are ultimately due to a lack of clarity about the counterfactual being considered.

Electrical magnitudes in gravitational and centrifugal systems

Electrochimica Acta, 1993
Abstract A new formulation to study the non-equilibrium processes in gravitational and centrifugal electrochemical systems is developed. The driving forces and the fluxes are measurable quantities. The electrical equilibrium and the pure electrical conduction are described in an evident, simple and exact manner.

Intelligent anti‐windup for systems with input magnitude saturation

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 1998
The paper addresses the global asymptotic stabilization of linear continuous-time systems with saturating actuators, subject to constant disturbances. It is proved that this task can be solved by means of either simple error integrators or a so called ``intelligent integrator'', which is a linear system with a particular saturating control law.
