Variational calculations of dispersion coefficients for interactions among H, He, and Li atoms.

Abstract: The dispersion coefficients ${\mathit{C}}_{6}$, ${\mathit{C}}_{8}$, and ${\mathit{C}}_{10}$ for the interactions among H, He, and Li are calculated using variational wave functions in Hylleraas basis sets with multiple exponential scale factors. With these highly correlated wave functions, significant improvements are made upon previous calculations and our results provide definitive values for these coefficients. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Natural Musical Intervals: Evidence From Infant Listeners

Abstract: Ancient and medieval scholars considered tones related by simple (small-integer) ratios to be naturally pleasing, but contemporary scholars attribute the special perceptual status of such sounds to exposure We investigated the possibility of processing predispositions for some tone combinations by evaluating infants' ability to detect subtle changes to patterns of simultaneous and sequential tones Infants detected such changes to pairs of pure tones (intervals) only when the tones were related by simple frequency ratios This was the case for 9-month-old infants tested with harmonic (simultaneous) intervals and for 6-month-old infants tested with melodic (sequential) intervals These results are consistent with a biological basis for the prevalence of particular intervals historically and cross-culturally

The changing nature of business simulation/gaming research: a brief history

Abstract: The Association for Business Simulation and Experiential Learning (ABSEL) has recently passed its 25th birthday, and a review of the 25 years of ABSEL conference proceedings starting with Oklahoma City in 1974 provides a good overview of the changing nature of business simulation/gaming research. This article reviews the history of business simulation/gaming research through the eyes and articles of ABSEL members over the past 25 years. The review is limited to several areas of major research interest and examines research in the area of business gaming but not experiential learning.
