The federal wire tapping controversy.
The question of wire tapping was introduced into the federal courts in the Olmstead case of 1920. Here the Supreme Court held such evidence admissible and declared that wire tapping constituted no violation to the rights protected in the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Congress passed the Federal …

Nonlinear Dynamics of Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy
… developed to investigate the grazing dynamics of tapping mode atomic force microscopes (AFM) subjected to a base harmonic excitation. The nonlinear dynamics of the AFM microcantilever are studied in both of the monostable and bistable phases with the microcantilever tip being, respectively, …

Individualism and Interdependence: Tapping into the Third Self-Construal
Traditionally, when it comes to describing an individual’s self-construal much of the focus is on its interdependent and independent aspects or dimensions. Individuals with a more independent self-construal are generally more focused on their own goals and driven by their needs and are usually …

Cantilever Dynamic Analysis in Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy
Tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) is becoming popular in the area of biology, as well as for polymer and semiconductor materials science. Unlike other AFM techniques, it only makes intermittent contact with the sample, which largely reduces any potential surface damage to soft materials, …

Tapping the Voices of Learners for Authentic Student Engagement
<p>The purpose of this study was to examine the problem of practice of the decline in student engagement from the perceptions of secondary school learners as they proceed throughout their educational experience. According to researchers, learners who are engaged—meaning those who are committed and …

A study of energy scavenging strategy in a tapping tree power
… One of the energy harvesting topologies is from tapping tree which is new topology that can be applied direct to the tree by inserting electrode into the tree while the other is into the surrounding soil. This project introduces a method for the energy to be harvested from a tree, where the …

MORE THAN FINGER COUNTING: SHARED RESOURCES BETWEEN FINGER TAPPING AND ARITHMETIC
… (e.g. handedness, finger counting habits, finger tapping ability) interact with cognitive measures (e.g. math ability, digit span, spatial ability) was investigated. The results provide evidence for a finger-based representation of numbers, and show that bodily measures can predict elementary …

Non-Smooth Dynamics and Control of Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy
… impacting oscillator, and a dynamic model of tapping-mode atomic force microscope ensures persistence of the grazing solution trajectory by preventing loss of stability through a discontinuity induced saddle-node bifurcation.

The Application of Tapping Techniques in Compositions for the Solo Electric Bass
… is an investigation into the application of tapping techniques in compositions for the solo electric bass. Through the detailed analysis of seven compositions, an understanding of the technical merit of tapping, when applied to solo electric bass composition, will come to light. The …

Parallel-to-Grain Withdrawal Resistance of Structural Self-Tapping Screws in Canadian Timber
… investigates the withdrawal capacity of self-tapping screws (STS) inserted parallel-to-grain. An experimental study was conducted with 100 screws tested in total. The experimental program includes two main test series. First, withdrawal testing was conducted on screws with a diameter of 10 mm …

Design and implementation of cantilever probe holder for tapping mode atomic force microscopy
… novel cantilever probe holder that is capable of tapping mode operation. The probe holder is implemented in a previously designed high-speed, large-range atomic force microscope (AFM). This AFM used a cantilever probe holder that was only capable of contact mode operation, placing limitations on …

Tapping into the pulse of the market : essays on marketing implications of information flows
As the Internet continues to penetrate consumer households, online marketing is getting increasingly important for firms. By adapting to online strategies, firms are blessed (or doomed) with a plethora of new business models. The information flows created in the process poses both opportunities and …

Exploring the Nonlinear Dynamics of Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy with Capillary Layer Interactions
Central to tapping mode atomic force microscopy is an oscillating cantilever whose tip interacts with a sample surface. The tip-surface interactions are strongly nonlinear, rapidly changing, and hysteretic. We explore numerically a lumped-mass model that includes attractive, adhesive, and repulsive …

The effects of concurrent timed-interval finger tapping on trace eyeblink conditioning in college students
… dual-task design. Timed-interval finger tapping, a motor function mediated by the cerebellar cortex, and several different cognitive tasks representing dissociable distributed brain memory systems were co-administered with trace eyeblink conditioning. If cerebellar cortex is involved in …

Tapping accounting with a hammer : a radical examination of accounting in the light of Nietzsche
This thesis argues that Accounting can never hope to be a value-free communicative medium grounded in and reflecting an external and knowable reality. Friedrich Nietzsche showed that we can only grasp the "real world" by means of useful fictions conditioned by our own perspective on the world. Any …

The immediate effects of rhythmic arm swing and finger tapping exercises on gait of Parkinson's patients
… arm swing exercise vs. a rhythmic finger tapping exercise on gait parameters of individuals in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). The study design was a randomized control trial involving three experimental conditions: control group, tapping group and arm swing group. Each …

Tapping the Hidden Job Market through Informational Interviews: A Qualitative Examination of Students' and Professionals' Perspectives
A growing body of literature suggests that networking promotes not only learning about one's field of interest but also employment opportunities, without requiring a formal job search. Considering three-fourths of job openings are never advertised (Koss-Feder, 1999), it appears networking is a …

Tapping into social resources to address occupational health : a network analysis of Vietnamese-owned nail salons
Social networks in the Vietnamese nail salon industry were studied for their utility in addressing occupational health risks. Major findings include heavy reliance on family networks for fundamental needs, an extensive industry network effective in spreading information, and a sparse community …
