The detection and identification of extraneous metals in material conveyance systems
The aim of this work was to design and build an equipment which can detect ferrous and non-ferrous objects in conveyed commodities, discriminate between them and locate the object along the belt and on the width of the belt. The magnetic induction mechanism was used as a means of achieving the …

Relevant Versus Extraneous Music in Multimedia Instruction: A Study of the Coherence Principle
<p>The purpose of this study was to examine whether the inclusion of nonessential music in an instructional multimedia presentation affected learners’ ability to recall information in retention, cued-retention, and transfer cognitive measures. This study tested the coherence principle of multimedia …

The predictive power of the presences on cognitive load
… cognitive and social presence on intrinsic, extraneous and germane cognitive load. More specifically, this study investigated the predictive relationships between the presences and cognitive load types through multiple regression analyses. This provided insights into the predictive validity …

Retrieval of Free Space Radiation Patterns through Measured Data in a Non-Anechoic Environment
… has attempted to compensate for the effects of extraneous fields measured in a non-anechoic environment to obtain a free space pattern that would be measured in an anechoic chamber. Existing compensation techniques are like the Test Zone Field compensation method, the …

Analysis of T-2 Toxin in Feed and Animal Specimens
… compounds, plant pigments and other extraneous materials. The T-2 toxin was selectively partitioned into the benzene fraction, which was washed with 1% potassium hydroxide to remove acidic compounds. Other extraneous materials were removed by silica gel column chromatography using …

Reasoning about knowledge using extensional logics
… happens that undesired conclusions arise. Such extraneous conclusions are often the result of substitution of equals for equals or existential instantiation within intensional operators such as Know. In the past, efforts at solving this problem have centered on modifications to the logic. In …

The Effects of Using Multimedia Presentations and Modular Worked-out Examples as Instructional Methodologies to Manage the Cognitive Processing Associated with Information Literacy Instruction at the Graduate and Undergraduate Levels of Nursing Education
… the addition of three questions measuring extraneous processing, generative processing and essential processing. Experiment 1 results indicated a large Cohen's effect size for the multiple-choice set of questions (d = 1.08) and a medium effect size for the essay-style, ill-defined problem …

Towards Understanding Why Assessment Centers Work: An Evaluation of the Subtle Criterion Contamination Hypothesis
… job-relevant skill dimensions as well as two job-extraneous cues--ratee physical attractiveness and ratee sex served as the cues in a Brunswik (1955) lens model framework. Twenty-six experienced assessors and 20 supervisors from a county police department rated 32 profiles of fictitious ratees in …

The effects of recent landuse on a fynbos site
… their subsequent deposition on the Fynbos Site. Extraneous transformation of land has served to facilitate the progressive encroachment of pest plants, principally Acacia Saligna and A. cyclops, on the Fynbos Site. The uncontrolled spread of these plants poses severe threat to the persistence of …

Human-Guided Learning for Personalizing Robot Behaviors
… observations containing both task-relevant and extraneous information. Because the robot does not know what aspects of its observations are important a priori, it may fail to learn the intended task. We propose RECON (Reducing Causal Confusion with Human-Placed Markers), a framework that …

Phononic materials as ultrasonic filters in nondestructive evaluation measurements
… ultrasound measurements, to passively filter extraneous nonlinearities present in experiments. Phononic materials were designed through finite element studies to transmit an ultrasonic wave but forbid the propagation of its second harmonic. Phononic filters were fabricated with direct metal …
