Intelligent Joystick Sensing the User's Emotion and Providing Biofeedback
Development of an intelligent joystick is proposed which senses the user’s bio-signals and
recognises the user’s emotion. It provides biofeedback to the user as well as the user’s emotional
state information to the computer allowing human-computer interaction over sensitive
environment. While the user is interacting with a computer via a joystick the bio-signals can be
collected through the user’s fingers touching it. The collected bio-signals information is mapped
on a two-dimensional space to find out the quality and intensity of emotion continuously and in a
real-time manner. The intelligent joystick has application within several fields such as healthcare,
sport and game industries. In such cases, the user can be influenced, or suffer from medical
problems while under stress during interaction with the machines. The intelligent joystick will
provide feedback to the user and alert alarm about unhealthy conditions through the embedded
actuators and allow the machine to adapt with the users’ emotional state
E-prints and Journal Articles in Astronomy: a Productive Co-existence
Are the e-prints (electronic preprints) from the arXiv repository being used
instead of the journal articles? In this paper we show that the e-prints have
not undermined the usage of journal papers in the astrophysics community. As
soon as the journal article is published, the astronomical community prefers to
read the journal article and the use of e-prints through the NASA Astrophysics
Data System drops to zero. This suggests that the majority of astronomers have
access to institutional subscriptions and that they choose to read the journal
article when given the choice. Within the NASA Astrophysics Data System they
are given this choice, because the e-print and the journal article are treated
equally, since both are just one click away. In other words, the e-prints have
not undermined journal use in the astrophysics community and thus currently do
not pose a financial threat to the publishers. We present readership data for
the arXiv category "astro-ph" and the 4 core journals in astronomy
(Astrophysical Journal, Astronomical Journal, Monthly Notices of the Royal
Astronomical Society and Astronomy & Astrophysics). Furthermore, we show that
the half-life (the point where the use of an article drops to half the use of a
newly published article) for an e-print is shorter than for a journal paper.

Advice to Authors: From the File Cabinet to the Journal Pages
Several suggestions are given for those considering authoring a journal article. These suggestions include timely submission of manuscripts, having a peer review the manuscript before submitting it to a journal, and selecting a journal that fits the style and content of the manuscript. Though authors of journal article must be resilient and capable of handling rejection letters, those who persevere often make significant contributions to Christian scholarship
Article length bias in journal rankings
The quality of publications, approximated by the containing journal''s quality indicator, is often the basis for hire and promotion in academic and research positions. Over the years a handful of ranking methods have been proposed. Discussing the most prominent methodswe show that they are inherently biased against journals publishing short papers.Economics ;
