The enigma of optical momentum in a medium [PDF]
, 2010 It is 100 years since Minkowski and Abraham first gave rival expressions for the momentum of light in a material medium. At the single-photon level, these correspond, respectively, either to multiplying or dividing the free-space value () by the ...

Modeling of Alomina Drying Process in Spray Dryer [PDF]
Journal of Chemistry Letters, 2021 Spray dryers are one of the most important dryers and have many applications in the food, drug and chemical industries. In this investigation, a model is suggested to predict the product temperature, drying time and the dryer height In order to evaluate ...

Finger Tracking Reveals the Covert Stages of Mental Arithmetic [PDF]
Open Mind, 2017 We introduce a novel method capable of dissecting the succession of processing stages underlying mental arithmetic, thus revealing how two numbers are transformed into a third.

Spatial Biases During Mental Arithmetic: Evidence from Eye Movements on a Blank Screen
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 While the influence of spatial-numerical associations in number categorization tasks has been well established, their role in mental arithmetic is less clear.

Large-uncertainty intelligent states for angular momentum and angle [PDF]
, 2005 The equality in the uncertainty principle for linear momentum and position is obtained for states which also minimize the uncertainty product. However, in the uncertainty relation for angular momentum and angular position both sides of the inequality are

A Role for Attentional Reorienting During Approximate Multiplication and Division
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2017 When asked to estimate the outcome of arithmetic problems, participants overestimate for addition problems and underestimate for subtraction problems, both in symbolic and non-symbolic format. This bias is referred to as operational momentum effect (OM).

Repeating Numbers Reduces Results: Violations of the Identity Axiom in Mental Arithmetic
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Even simple mental arithmetic is fraught with cognitive biases. For example, adding repeated numbers (so-called tie problems, e.g., 2 + 2) not only has a speed and accuracy advantage over adding different numbers (e.g., 1 + 3) but may also lead to under ...

Optimisation of a quantum pair space thruster [PDF]
INCAS Bulletin, 2012 The paper addresses the problem of propulsion for long term space missions. Traditionally a space propulsion unit has a propellant mass which is ejected trough a nozzle to generate thrust; this is also the case with inert gases energized by an on-board ...

Global health post-2015: the case for universal health equity [PDF]
Global Health Action, 2013 Set in 2000, with a completion date of 2015, the deadline for the Millennium Development Goals is approaching, at which time a new global development infrastructure will become operational. Unsurprisingly, the discussions on goals, topics, priorities and
