Observers detached

A recognition of the unreality of the detached observer in the psychological sciences is becoming widespread, under the topics of experimenter bias 55 and demand characteristics 45. A similar recognition long ago occurred in physics when it was realized that he observed was altered by the process of observation at subatomic levels, when we deal with d-ASCs where the observer is the experiencer of the d-ASC, this factor is of paramount importance. Not knowing the characteristics of the observer can also confound the process of consensual validation. 

When I was very relaxed, my thinking became introspectively speculative. Awareness of the body and of its functionings became subject to a detached spatial consideration, and the reality of the place of detached observation for a time semed clearly transposed out of the body and to a place above and to the right rearward I was compelled to turn my head several times and look into that upper corner of the room in wonder at what part of me could be up there and observing the subjective situation and behavior as if from that point. I observed this phenomenon from where I was seated... 

We must consider one other problem of observation. One of the traditional idols of science, the "detached observer," has no place in dealing with many internal phenomena of d-SoCs. Not only are the observer s perceptions selective, he may also affect the things he observes. We must try to understand the characteristics of each individual observer in order to compensate for them. 

C verbalized something true for each of them as soon as one observed that something was odd or stoned or trippy, it changed turned into a flatter, less voluptuous organic experience. The mushroom did not want you to become a detached observer. It was a lucid dream, but once it became truly lucid (knowing you were in it) it was no longer a dream. It was very odd for such a powerful effect to be so subtly determined. They all slept well with no unusual dreams. The next day they all commented that their vision seemed clearer. 

Consider Whoopi Goldberg She has Aquarius rising, so she appears progressive, sociable, and eccentric — a personality with a lively mind and a detached, observant approach to life. In fact, her Sun is in Scorpio, so beneath her brilliant Aquarian surface, she s intensely emotional, passionate, and secretive — not detached at all.

Although Vindice and the Duke are both spectators of Gloriana s poisonous skull, they represent very different kinds of spectatorship. While Vindice stands aside as a detached observer, the Duke—like the Tyrant and Sforza—enters the spectacle and, as a result, both consumes and is consumed by it. The Duke s erotic pleasure turns... 

By failing to make connections between the story of masturbatory insanity and current psychiatric practices. Comfort himself becomes a victim of the mythology of mental illness. One has the uncomfortable feeling, he writes, of the multiplicity and uncontrollability of such reactions [as those of physicians toward masturbation here reviewed], and the utter inability of those involved in them to acquire more than a limited insight, and one begins to look for the counterpart of witchcraft mania and masturbation anxiety in our own, in public irrationalities of which all but a few unusually detached observers are unaware today. In our contemporary world. Comfort sees such irrationalities in the Bomb, the... 

The passage names a number of stories of the founding narratives of generation and of literary heritage (mothers or fathers) of urban modernism (the perspectives of the man of the crowd or of the detached observer at the upper window or on the balcony). The discussion is ostensibly about states of mind , a prelude to Woolf s discussion of creative androgyny . Yet it marks a political as much as a psychological position, its uneasy pronouns ( it , one , she ) suggesting the uncertain place of women in a culture, a nation, which they cannot fully call their own. 

To a disembodied and detached observer, a living organism is only a form in which carbon is collected, stored and oxidised. Why this should occur under these restricted conditions, or whether the organism has any cosmic fimction other than to delay the dissipation of solar energy, is a problem beyond the horizon of the biochemist, whose task is to find what changes occur and how they are brought about. The existence of life is accepted as a self-evident fact in the hope that man s experience of it wiU eventually enable him to understand its meaning. 

The basic observation is that a thin plate, such as a microscope cover glass or piece of platinum foil, will support a meniscus whose weight both as measured statically or by detachment is given very accurately by the ideal equation (assuming zero contact angle) ... 

An interesting aspect of friction is the manner in which the area of contact changes as sliding occurs. This change may be measured either by conductivity, proportional to if, as in the case of metals, it is limited primarily by a number of small metal-to-metal junctions, or by the normal adhesion, that is, the force to separate the two substances. As an illustration of the latter, a steel ball pressed briefly against indium with a load of IS g required about the same IS g for its subsequent detachment [37]. If relative motion was set in, a value of S was observed and, on stopping, the normal force for separation had risen to 100 g. The ratio of 100 IS g may thus be taken as the ratio of junction areas in the two cases. 

Distil the filtered ethereal solution, using a 100 ml. flask fitted with a dropping-funnel and a side-arm for the condenser observe all the normal precautions for ether distillation (p. 162) and run the ethereal solution into the flask as fast as the ether distils over. When all the ether has distilled off, detach and cool the flask, when the oily colourless residue of saligenin will rapidly crystallise. Weight of product, 5-0 g. m.p. 75-82°. Recrystallise either from a mixture of benzene and petroleum (b.p. 60-80°), or from a minimum of water, allowing the stirred aqueous solution to cool to 65-70° before chilling. The dry crystalline saligenin has m.p. 85-86°. 

Photochemistry. Vinyl chloride is subject to photodissociation. Photexcitation at 193 nm results in the elimination of HCl molecules and Cl atoms in an approximately 1.1 1 ratio (69). Both vinyUdene ( B2) [2143-69-3] and acetylene have been observed as photolysis products (70), as have H2 molecules (71) and H atoms [12385-13-6] (72). HCl and vinyUdene appear to be formed via a concerted 1,1 elimination from excited vinyl chloride (70). An adiabatic recoil mechanism seems likely for Cl atom elimination (73). As expected from the relative stabiUties of the 1- and 2-chlorovinyl radicals [50663-45-1 and 57095-76-8], H atoms are preferentially produced by detachment from the P carbon (72). Finally, a migration mechanism appears to play a significant role in H2 elimination (71). 

In addition to the wet and optical spectrometric methods, which are often used to analyse elements present in very small proportions, there are also other techniques which can only be mentioned here. One is the method of mass spectrometry, in which the proportions of separate isotopes can be measured this can be linked to an instrument called a field-ion microscope, in which as we have seen individual atoms can be observed on a very sharp hemispherical needle tip through the mechanical action of a very intense electric field. Atoms which have been ionised and detached can then be analysed for isotopic mass. This has become a powerful device for both curiosity-driven and applied research. 

However, if one attempted to determine iua from the DMT theory, one would get an unrealistically large value. In the same paper, the authors also presented micrographs of particles in contact with the substrate under a negative applied load that was not quite sufficient to effect detachment. It was reported that the observed contact radius under those circumstances was approximately 70% of the expected contact in the absence of the applied load. This observation is in apparent agreement with the JKR prediction that detachment occurs under negative loads that reduce the contact to about 63% of the equilibrium contact radius. 

Check pump status every two hours. More frequent checks may be necessary with heavy filter loading. Ensure that the sampler is still assembled properly and that the hose has not become pinched or detached from the cassette or the pump. For filters, observe for symmetrical deposition, fingerprints, or large particles, etc. Record the flow rate, if possible. 

Visual observation in the studies by Hetsroni et al. (2002a,b, 2003), Qu and Mudawar (2002) proved bubble behavior at incipient boiling in micro-channels (d i < 1 mm) and concluded that it was quite different from that in larger channels. After nucleation, bubbles first grew to detachment size before departing into the liquid flow. The detachment size was comparable to that of the micro-channel...
