The bach bang : effects of tonal vs. atonal music on finger tapping by Tan, Jian Rong.

“…A pre-test/post-test design was used to test the effect of different music on a free-expression finger tapping task. The dependent variables (DV) were: Interest/ Enjoyment subscale from the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), estimation of time elapsed for the finger-tapping task, and the degree of finger-tapping randomness in each hand. …”

“Clicking” compliant mechanism for flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle by Chin, Yao-Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…The clicking prototype weighs 3.58g, has 115° wing stroke, and is able to achieve hovering at 15.8Hz flapping frequency. The non-clicking prototype is lighter at 3.35g with a wingstroke of 100°, but could not achieve hover but could not achieve hovering even though driven by the same motor at a faster flapping frequency (16.2Hz) under the same driving voltage (4.9 V). …”

Myristoylation restricts orientation of the GRASP domain on membranes and promotes membrane tethering by Heinrich, Frank, Nanda, Hirsh, Goh, Haw Zan, Bachert, Collin, Lösche, Mathias, Linstedt, Adam D.

“…To test the hypothesis that myristoylation of the self-interacting GRASP domain restricts its orientation on the membrane to favor trans pairing, we established an in vitro assay that recapitulates GRASP-dependent membrane tethering and used neutron reflection under similar conditions to determine the orientation of the GRASP domain. …”
