As it occurred to me: lessons learned in researching parapsychological claims [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
I have been involved in parapsychology for a little over 25 years (including my time as a PhD student), so in preparing this paper I’ve welcomed the opportunity to reflect on that experience to see if any of it is worth sharing with the wider community ...

Selective Solar CO2 Conversion into Ethanol Using Atomic‐Scale Copper Clusters Anchored π‐extended Poly(heptazine imide)

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Atomic‐scale copper clusters anchored on π‐extended poly(heptazine imide) enable selective, sacrificial‐agent‐free solar conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to ethanol. The catalyst promotes interfacial charge separation and stabilizes key carbon‐carbon coupling intermediates, providing a molecularly defined platform for direct C2 fuel synthesis under ...

Human levitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Human levitation occurs when the physical body rises into the air and then hovers or moves around, seemingly in defiance of the force of gravity. Traditionally most levitation reports have originated from seven groups: shamanism, people supposedly ...

Incremental upper bound modeling of concrete failures in timber‐concrete notched connections

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for developing incremental upper bound solutions, which is applied to predict the response of two local concrete failures in timber‐concrete composite (TCC) decks with notched connections. The new approach enables a prediction of the capacity at the onset of failure as well as the entire post‐

Enhancing durability of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts using SCMs: A comparative study with delithiated beta spodumene

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steam curing is commonly used to manufacture precast culverts to accelerate early strength development. This study investigates the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the permeability properties of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts.

Response to “Could Pam Reynolds Hear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
: The near-death experience (NDE) of Pam Reynolds is one of the most impressive and medically well-documented NDEs in the literature. It took place during an operation to remove a brain aneurism, and it included almost all the aspects of a classic NDE ...

Some aspects of performance at a psychokinetic task [PDF]

open access: yes
Psychokinetic phenomena are currently anomalous with respect to physics. They are not generally accepted as genuine nor are their possible physical mechanisms understood. It is argued here that a certain class of psychokinetic phenomena, termed "directly

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

The development of spirituality and ethics in the work of Arthur Koestler, 1937-1959 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This thesis examines the development of Arthur Koestler's spirituality and ethics, from the publication of The Gladiators in 1939 to The Sleepwalkers twenty years later, drawing upon the extensive material within Edinburgh's Koestler Archive.Where his

Inducible defences, chemical aposematism and the spatial ecology of plant–herbivore interactions in tall goldenrod, Solidago altissima L.

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants can respond to herbivore attack by inducing resistance traits that affect subsequent herbivore performance and behaviour. Here, we investigate how such induced responses in Solidago altissima L.
