TESTING PSI & PSI-MISSING.(Brief Article)

WHEN INVESTIGATING group results of extrasensory performance, most researchers find chance results (Kurtz, 1985, 508-9). However, a discrepancy exists, as some parapsychologists consistently find results that statistically vary from chance. Consistent variations above chance (i.e., extrasensory perception) and below chance (i.e., psi-missing) are both interpreted as evidence of a psi mechanism (Rhine, 1952, 91; Schmeidler, 1966, 387). Most skeptics believe this discrepancy exists n...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.
Rubber & Plastics News ; Since its introduction in 1992, the RPA 2000 rubber process analyzer rapidly has become an established test for measuring rubber properties before, during and after cure. Using the same test cavity as the popular MDR 2000 rotorless cure meter, the RPA is significantly more useful for rubber

EDN ; Most analog-component data sheets contain the information you need if you know where to look and what to look out for. Scrutinizing data sheets is an important first step in selecting analog components. Although you will eventually want to test various samples in your circuit, the data sheet tells
