Social Facilitation: The Effects of Audience\u27s Status on Performances of a Pursuit Rotor Task
In a study of social facilitation, 20 college students performed a pursuit rotor task in the presence of an audience of other students or faculty members. The results indicate that subjects performing in the presence of an audience of student peers displayed a significant enhancement in performance when compared to a baseline performance measurement. Subjects performing in the presence of an audience of faculty members displayed a nonsignificant decrement in performance when compared to baseline performance. The results suggest that the status of an audience affects individual performance

Convergence of Laguerre Impulse Response Approximation for Noninteger Order Systems
One of the most important issues in application of noninteger order systems concerns their implementation. One of the possible approaches is the approximation of convolution operation with the impulse response of noninteger system. In this paper, new results on the Laguerre Impulse Response Approximation method are presented. Among the others, a new proof of convergence of approximation is given, allowing less strict assumptions. Additionally, more general results are given including one regarding functions that are in the joint part of and spaces. The method was also illustrated with examples of use: analysis of “fractional order lag” system, application to noninteger order filters design, and parametric optimization of fractional controllers
A Time-Orbiting Potential Trap for Bose-Einstein Condensate Interferometry
We describe a novel atom trap for Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb to be
used in atom interferometry experiments. The trap is based on a time-orbiting
potential waveguide. It supports the atoms against gravity while providing weak
confinement to minimize interaction effects. We observe harmonic oscillation
frequencies omega_x, omega_y, omega_z as low as 2 pi times (6.0,1.2,3.3) Hz. Up
to 2 times 10^4 condensate atoms have been loaded into the trap, at estimated
temperatures as low as 850 pK. We anticipate that interferometer measurement
times of 1 s or more should be achievable in this device.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
