This chapter summarizes current interpretations of all forms of confabulations discussed in the book and reviews the relationship between the four forms of memory-related confabulations. Experimental investigation has confirmed the dissociation between various types of false memories and considerably advanced the understanding of the mechanisms of some forms of confabulation, in particular behaviourally spontaneous confabulation and false statements in anosognosia. Overall, experimental evidence is scarce; many models have no controlled experimental basis or extend their proposed range of application well beyond the empirical evidence. The chapter concludes with a call for heightened respect of basic scientific standards in the research on confabulation.

Bounding Surfaces

An experimental investigation of plane turbulent jets in bounded fluid layers is presented. The development of the jet is regular up to a distance from the orifice of approximately twice the depth of the fluid layer. From there on to a distance of about ten times the depth, the flow is dominated by secondary currents. The velocity distribution over a cross-section of the jet becomes three-dimensional and the jet undergoes a constriction in the midplane and a widening near the bounding surfaces. Beyond a distance of approximately ten times the depth of the bounded fluid layer the secondary currents disappear and the jet starts to meander around its centreplane. Large vortical structures develop with axes perpendicular to the bounding surfaces of the fluid layer. With increasing distance the size of these structures increases by pairing. These features of the jet are associated with the development of quasi two-dimensional turbulence. It is shown that the secondary currents and the meandering do not significantly affect the spreading of the jet. The quasi-two-dimensional turbulence, however, developing in the meandering jet, significantly influences the mixing of entrained fluid.

The Relationship

This paper focuses on the study of the curvatures of deflector installed on the below receiving device to effect the dust amount from the free falling particle stream. The deflector curvature was artificially controlled to limit the fugitive dust direction which was generated by the collision between the free falling bulk materials and the receiving device. This method was used to improve efficiency of the dust control system to exhaust fugitive dust, and to achieve the targets of energy conservation and emissions reduction. The experimental method was adopted to explore the relationship between the deflector curvature and the producing dust quantity. The experimental results indicated that, the dust suppression effect containing deflector contained a certain radian was more remarkable, when the height of the free falling of bulk materials was constant. The producing dust quantity decreased slightly with the deflector curvature increasing, and then increased rapidly. When the deflector curvature was 0.045 cm-1 or 0.060cm-1, the minimum of producing dust quantity could be obtained, and the dust removal effect might be significant.
