Vibroacoustics of the piano soundboard: Reduced models, mobility synthesis, and acoustical radiation regime

open access: yes, 2013
In string musical instruments, the sound is radiated by the soundboard, subject to the strings excitation. This vibration of this rather complex structure is described here with models which need only a small number of parameters.

Free vibrations of the infinite plate strengthened by the stiffening ribs.

open access: yesMechanics - Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, 2011
The natural vibrations of the infinite rectangular plate, strengthened by the periodically located transverse identical stiffening ribs, prepared of another more durable material are investigated. The optimum geometric parameters of construction are determined, which ensure the greatest value of the lowest frequency of the natural vibrations, with its ...

0.001% and counting: Revisiting the price rounding tax

open access: yesContemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract In 1991 and 2008, Israel abolished the equivalents of 1¢ and 5¢ coins, respectively, effectively eliminating low‐denomination coins and introducing rounding in cash transactions. When totals were rounded up, shoppers incurred a small rounding tax.

The Irony of Liberation in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

open access: yesThe Journal of American Culture, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest vividly portrays the tragic consequences of repressive psychiatric authority. The film was—and remains—one of the most memorable and well‐known products of anti‐psychiatry sentiment. Opponents of American psychiatry from the time period of Cuckoo's Nest objected to what they saw as social control ...

Interest Rate Pegs and the Reversal Puzzle: On the Role of Anticipation

open access: yesJournal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We revisit the reversal puzzle: a counterintuitive contraction of inflation in response to an interest rate peg. We show that its occurrence is intimately related to the degree of agents' anticipation. If agents perfectly anticipate the peg, reversals occur depending on the duration of the peg.

Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...
