In a knowledge society knowledge is dynamic, distributed and dependent on social context.The variety of professional communities of practice (CoP) and their individual knowledge needs are a challenge for community information systems for learning and knowledge exchange.Social Micro-Learning is an approach that allows the co-creation of new individu
Dark Energy, QCD Axion, and Trans-Planckian-Inflaton Decay Constant
Pseudoscalars appear frequently in particle spectra.They can be light if they appear as pseudo-Goldstone bosons from some spontaneously broken global symmetries with the decay constant f.Since any global symmetry is broken at least by quantum gravitational effects, all pseudoscalars are massive.The mass scale of a pseudoscalar is determined by the
Evaluation of VDT-Induced Visual Fatigue by Automatic Detection of Blink Features
This study evaluates the progression of visual fatigue induced by visual display terminal (VDT) using automatically detected blink features.A total of 23 subjects were recruited to participate in a VDT task, during which they Essential Oils were required to watch a 120-min video on a laptop and answer a questionnaire every 30 min.Face video recordi
Evaluating an internet-delivered fear conditioning and extinction protocol using response times and affective ratings
Abstract Pavlovian fear conditioning is widely used to study mechanisms of fear learning, but high-throughput studies are hampered by the labor-intensive nature of examining participants in the lab.To circumvent this bottle-neck, fear conditioning tasks have been developed Heavy Duty Bariatric Chairs for remote delivery.Previous studies have examin
