Thin Mica

In this part, with which the research closes, the author first examines the action of thin mica screens fixed on the fly of an ordinary radiometer, in modifying the movements. It is found that when a disk of thin clear mica is attached 1 millim. in front of the blacked side of the vanes of an ordinary radiometer, the fly moves negatively, the black side approaching instead of retreating from the light. When a thin mica disk is fixed on each side of the vanes of a radiometer, the result is an almost total loss of sensitiveness.

Paradise fish, macropodus opercularis, were given inescapable shocks in the black side of a two-compartment box. Following training they showed acquisition of a target-striking instrumental response which permitted them to escape from the black compartment to a white compartment. Non-shocked control Ss also showed evidence of learning, probably based on an exploratory drive, but their behavior was far less persistent than that of the experimental group. The results are compared with those of other studies, on both the fish and mammals, which have investigated the effects of conditioned fear training, and some theoretical implications are drawn.

Few paper notices the black side of trust on technology transfer. This paper utilizes the “Transaction Cost Economics” (TCE) to find out that trust, in some cases, can deter technology transfer between two manufacturing firms. Specifically, trust can influence the transaction cost through three dimensions, including “asset specificity”, “transaction frequency” and “uncertainty”, and then the relationship between trust and technology transfer can be detected with the help of transaction cost as a media. Finally, this paper finds out that before an optimal threshold point, the trust can decrease the transaction cost and, simultaneously, can improve the technology transfer. But after that, trust may increase the transaction cost, then imposing restrictions on the technology transfer.

Arnaquq-Baril, Alethea.  The Blind Boy & the Loon. Illus. Alethea Arnaquq-Baril and Dan Gies.  Iqaluit, NU:  Inhabit Media, Inc., 2014.  Print.This volume is unique among Inhabit Media’s publications in that it is produced from an animated short film called Lumaajuuq by accomplished Inuit filmmaker Arnaquq-Baril.  Both the text and the images have been converted from the film. Anarquq-Baril tells us that the story of Lumaajuuq is an old one and a very long one.  She has adapted and shortened it for the film.  It tells of a boy who was deliberately blinded by his mother and has his sight restored by a loon.  Subsequently, he tricks his mother into spearing a whale that will pull her into the sea, where she drowns and turns into the narwhal.  The story ends with the admonition that “every act of revenge is a link in a chain that can only be broken by forgiveness”.The text is brief and is presented in white on a black side-bar that runs to the left of each two-page image spread.  The black side-bar adds to the overall visual darkness of the book, reflecting the darkness of the story.  The images by Arnaquq-Baril and Daniel Gies are usually on black, dark blues, greys and browns. All of the images are uncluttered. The characters are drawn in profile, outlined in thick black line, while the backgrounds are shaded or layers of colour.  In contrast to other parts of the images, the boy consistently has an unnaturally white face, which makes him the focal point of each image.Overall this book does successfully make the conversion from film to print and makes another traditional story accessible to new audiences.  It would be a good addition to public school libraries, elementary school libraries and libraries collecting polar fiction.Highly recommended:  4 stars out of 4Reviewer:  Sandy CampbellSandy is a Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Alberta, who has written hundreds of book reviews across many disciplines.  Sandy thinks that sharing books with children is one of the greatest gifts anyone can give.
