Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDYNAMICAL 3-SPACE: NEO-LORENTZ RELATIVITYReginald Thomas CahillThe major extant relativity theories-Galileo’s Relativity (GaR), Lorentz’s Relativity (LR) and Einstein’s Special Relativity (SR), with the latter much celebrated, while the LR is essentially ignored. Indeed it is often incorrectly claimed that SR and LR are experimentally indistinguishable. Here we show that (i) SR and LR are experimentally distinguishable, (ii) that comparison of gas-mode Michelson interferometer experiments with spacecraft … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jul 2013 · 6,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Theory of the Mind as a Complex SystemCraig P. Speelman, Kim Kirsner, Stephan HalloyFive principles of skill acquisition are presented based on a review of research on human learning and expertise. Essentially these principles state that practice leads to faster and more efficient uses of knowledge. This enables faster performance and results in less demand on mental resources. In turn these outcomes enable higher level behaviours to be attempted. Ultimately skills are developed … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 9 Jul 2012 · 9,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinding What You Expect to See: Theoretical Modeling in PsycholinguisticsKathleen AhrensProblem statement: Theories of language processing rely upon experimental evidence to support or reject their hypotheses. Yet it is often the case that conflicting theories flourish alongside each other for decades, with voluminous experimental evidence to support their respective hypotheses. Approach: In this study, I suggest it is imperative for researchers to move beyond their own experiments and results to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 18 May 2012 · 8,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards the Decline and fall of Radical and Educational Constructivism (Mark I)James Carifio, Rocco J. PerlaProblem statement: In 1974, McKeachie published a brief article in The Educational Researcher called, "The Decline and Fall of the Laws of Learning". Approach: This article was primarily about the decline and fall of the behaviorist laws of learning and radical behaviorism, both of which were never quite the same in psychology or education after this article as before it … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2010 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach in Cryptographic Systems Using Fractal Image CodingNadia M.G. Al-Saidi, Muhammad Rushdan Md. SaidProblem statement: With the rapid development in the communications and information transmissions there is a growing demand for new approaches that increase the security of cryptographic systems. Approach: Therefore some emerging theories, such as fractals, can be adopted to provide a contribution toward this goal. In this study we proposed a new cryptographic system utilizing fractal theories; this approach exploited … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGravitation Due to Scalar Potentials and Black HolesMark TitlemanThis paper argues that the universe possesses two scalar potentials similar to those proposed by E.T. Whittaker in which waveforms travel longitudinally. It is proposed that these scalar potentials form through black holes, creating normal transverse electromagnetic radiation as well as gravity. This opens up new avenues for understanding the universe and black holes while applying parsimonious explanations to dark … …Physics International, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 8 Jun 2020 · 9,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProposed Self-Regulation Model for Collaborative E-Learning Systems in Kenyan Public UniversitiesGrace Leah Akinyi, Robert ObokoIntegration of technology in learning such as Electronic-learning has become an indispensable segment of higher education in Sub-Saharan Africa. This has opened up opportunities that improve teaching and learning. There is need for intervening in e-learning environments towards developing Self-regulated learning support, which can lead to improvement in performance and learner retention. SRL provides students with capability to acquire and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,722 accessesView PDFCite
