Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Bob: I appreciate your concerns about cciting sources I have a similar peeve, and do not always fulfill my own expectiations regarding this matter. On Al's behalf, my request was specifically not to use references. In this little study I am interested in what comes up without academic rigor. Since you teach pulse, your response to the question " how do you describe a choppy pulse? " would be useful. So far changing amplitude, roughness in the wave, and turbulence have been offered. I'll collect the information and summarize it. After enough people have contributed we can go to the next level of discussion. sincerely, Will This may seem like nit-picking, but I have a problem with the wording of Al's kind of response. It seems to me that, all too often, people put out information on this site without referencing it. There are established norms in academic discussions such as these, at least within other professions, and I'd like to suggest we adopt these as they help to keep things clear, both intellectual and in terms of intellectual property. Therefore, if one is responding with insights or information gathered from their own experience, we all preface our remarks with a statement of that. If something comes from some other source, then I believe we should source that. That doesn't mean we have to footnote our sources, but at least minimally identify them.

It really hits the nail on the head. Rough pulses don't feel good. Of course, I also remember the sick silkworm eating a mulberry leaf image as well. Cara Cara, these two metaphors bring up differing sensations for me. Can you describe some of the features that allow you to derive these associations? We are getting close to enough stuff to do summary discussion, but not quite. Zev...any comment? I am trying to create an experience here that interns and students get on a consistant basis. And then open a discussion that may take us a little bit forward on this subject. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
