Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people's powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better...
Gary Charness and Uri Gneezy, two scientists at the University of Chicago, did some research, where 120 students were asked to take part in an experiment about exercise habits, and each of them would get $175 in the end. The students were randomly assigned (随机分配) to three groups. The...
Prior to this, the only example of systematic weight measurements was performed by Grace Beardsley in her close analysis of the shawls of the Koelz collection at the University of Michigan, published under the title “Wrapped in Beauty”(3). From a copy of her manuscript she gave to me, h...
a student who found wisdom in Libertarian ideals, and a philosopher who found faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thiel was raised as an Evangelical and inherited the Christianity of his parents. But his beliefs are “somewhat heterodox.” In a profile in theNew Yorker...
the researchers were able to fully break down a perovskite solar cell at the end of its life cycle using only a water solvent. When they used that recycled material to create an entirely new solar cell, they found it maintained the same overall efficiency as the first non-recycled iteration...
dispfeat.m This function provides visualisation and statistics of the different feature types found in an image by phasecong. Typically you will find a broad distribution of all feature types between step edges and lines. This function needs edgelink.m (see below). odot.m Demonstrates the act...
Never mind California, this is what the results of the great Democrats’ Experiment looks like. Then there is Lahaina, on Maui. The city was nearly completely destroyed by fire a year and a half ago. Over 2,000 properties with residential structures were either destroyed or suffered major ...

But unfortunately, every once in a while there comes along a theory that must remain, at least for the foreseeable future, as a simple thought experiment; a heuristic; a useful rule-of-thumb for those willing to try it. Sort of like chicken soup for a head cold. Does this lack of ‘...
While most had never performed in public before, they not only survived, but thrived before a packed house of family, friends and random coffee drinkers! As I tell my students, one of the things I cannot give them in a lesson is the experience of performing for an audience of real, ...
