THE STREAM OF EXPERIENCE WHEN WATCHING ARTISTIC MOVIES. DYNAMIC AESTHETIC EFFECTS REVEALED BY THE CONTINUOUS EVALUATION PROCEDURE (CEP)

The stream of experience when watching artistic movies. Dynamic aesthetic effects revealed by the continuous evaluation procedure (CEP)

Research in perception and appreciation is often focused on snapshots, stills of experience.Static approaches allow for multidimensional assessment, but are unable to catch the crucial dynamics of affective and perceptual processes; for instance, Beauty aesthetic phenomena such as the ‘Aesthetic-Aha’ (the increase in liking after the sudden det

Performance of base-isolated moment resisting steel frames subjected to pounding effects under near-field earthquake ground motions

Despite conservative requirements of existing building code regarding clear seismic gap distance of base-isolated (BI) structures to surrounding moat walls, seismic performance of these structures is still ambiguous under severe earthquake ground motions that may push the base slab of the isolation system to collide to the surrounding moat walls.Mo

The effects of forest structure on occurrence and abundance of three owl species (Aves: Strigidae) in the Central Amazon forest

We investigated how forest structure affects the occurrence and abundance of three owl species: Latte Spoons the crested owl Lophostrix cristata Daudin, 1800, the Amazon pygmy owl Glaucidium hardyi Vielliard, 1990, and the tawny-bellied screech owl Megascops watsonii Cassin, 1849.We surveyed the owls mostly between 07:00 and 11:00 pm from July 2001
