      The role of the self in mindblindness in autism 

      Lombardo,Michael V.; Baron-Cohen,Simon (2011)
      Since its inception the 'mindblindness' theory of autism has greatly furthered our understanding of the core social-communication impairments in autism spectrum conditions (ASC). However, one of the more subtle issues ...

      Simulation of the earthquake-induced pounding of seismically isolated buildings 

      Komodromos, Petros I. (2008)
      Seismic isolation can significantly reduce the induced seismic loads to a relatively stiff building by inserting flexibility at its base to avoid resonance with the predominant frequencies of common earthquakes. Sometimes ...

      Visualization of quantum phenomena 

      Austen, David J.; Brouwer, Wytze; Martin, Brian (University of Cyprus, 2007)
      Many abstract phenomena are, by their nature, "unseeable". What then does it mean to visualize quantum phenomena such as Compton Scattering, Alpha and Beta Decay, or collisional de-excitation? Perhaps more importantly, how ...
