Reinventing the rattling tin : explaining the dynamics of social networking site fundraising
… to knowledge.Finally, Reinventing the Rattling Tin lays claim to a few methodological innovations. It is the first UK study, for example, to use web content analysis to code the content of charity Facebook pages, and the first to devise and use a ‘shareability’ metric to measure the …

Aktive Sekundärmaßnahmen zur Vermeidung von fahrzustandsabhängigen Geräuschen in hydraulischen Lenksystemen
… situations. The acoustic phenomenon known as “rattling” is generated by impacts on the steering cylinder, if the car rides over bumps, kerb stones or similar obstacles. In special friction conditions between tyre and road surface during parking, a phenomenon called “shuddering” occurs and leads …

The Effect of Suspension on Parametric Stability and Bifurcation of Geared Systems in Permanent Contact Regime
… contact; in the worst case, it results in the rattling phenomenon.To date, many analytical and numerical works have studied the dynamic characteristics of gears with rigid mountings, specifically under constant speed operational conditions. These studies show that for these models, the …

Politics, chess, hats: the microhistory of disunion in Charleston, South Carolina
… Too late they learned that bold promises, saber rattling, and street theater could not easily be disavowed. The consequence was disaster.

Predatory behaviour of theraphosid spiders in northern Queensland
… responses to falling leaves, sticks and a leaf “rattling” in wind, cues characteristic of abiotic noise. An apparatus with four “propellers” at 0, 1, 3, and 5 cm depth in a “river sand” substrate was used to test whether spiders could detect depth of burrowing “prey”. Locomotory activity was …

Three Portraits of Pipa – for pipa and orchestra
… bending and pitch sliding. The third movement, “Rattling Metal,” demonstrates the metallic, percussive sound of the pipa. Traditional percussive techniques such as multiple string-strumming (sao xian), string twisting (jiao xian), and sound board snapping (tan mian ban) are featured. This …

Prestige and the Restraint of Power in International Relations
… assertions of national power: diplomatic saber-rattling, scrambles for colonies, arms races, and outright war. This thesis charts a sharply divergent, previously neglected, path to international prestige—foreign policy restraint. The argument in brief is that states seek prestige by …

Synthesis, structure and properties of heavy metal pyrochlore oxides
… these systems as a function of cation size and rattling.

Distortions in the tetrahedral oxyanions of crystalline substances, with crystal structure refinements of slawsonite and celsian
… to be limited by a phenomenon analogous to the "rattling" of the hard-sphere model. The maximum edge-length distortions appear to be limited by coulombic repulsions between bonding electron concentrations, with non-bonded interactions becoming important at very small O•••O separations. For …

Study of atomic scale dynamics of glass-forming metallic liquids using neutron scattering experiments and molecular dynamics simulations
… Fast structural relaxations corresponding to rattling of atoms in cage formed by nearest neighbors reveals an anomaly in its temperature dependence that coincides with specific heat capacity peak as well as the Arrhenius crossover. Experiments and simulations suggest the presence of multiple …

"“Phonon"" and electron transport in glass-crystal dual materials"
… resonant bonding, while the latter to A-site rattling in CsPbI3, and polar rotor scattering instead in MAPbI3. I also observe “waterfall-like” dispersions, which I show to be an emergent phenomenon due to dynamical averaging of different dispersions that belong to energetically equivalent …

The Behavioral and Physiological Effects of Long-Distance Translocation on Western Rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus)
… of LDT. Of the behaviors that we recorded, many (rattling, tongue-flicking, fleeing, moving vs. stationary when found) were observed too infrequently to carry out satisfactory parametric analyses, though a qualitative assessment leads to the conclusion that LDT did not affect them. The effect of …

The Chemistry and Crystallography of Doped Bixbyite, Braunite and Novel Anion-Deficient Fluorite Oxides
… present in most bixbyites likely due to a small rattling type behaviour. Powders of the solid-solution Cu3-0.75xTe1-xSbxO6-0.125x has been previously synthesised, single crystal growth of Sb doped Cu3TeO6 was attempted here with varying success. NPD experiments were conducted between 4 and 1200 K …
