Recent speed versus...» Do all raindrops fall at terminal speed? Recent speed versus size measurements of drops during natural rainfall show that sub-mm raindrops often fall up an order of magnitude faster than expected. Furthermore, images of drop clusters reveal that these ‘‘super-terminal drops’’ are differently sized fragments of a recent break-up, moving with the speed of the parent drop and relaxing towards steady fall. Immediately after breakup, the pieces, disembarking off a common carrier, move at about the same (relatively high) speed. Along with reviewing the physics of drop breakup, I shall discuss possible implications, e.g., disdrometers and Doppler radars. -

Psychology Dept University of VirginiaOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about In this talk I offer a theory of cross-modal objects. To beg...» In this talk I offer a theory of cross-modal objects. To begin, I will discuss two kinds of linkages between vision and audition. The first is a duality. The the visual system detects and identifies surfaces; the auditory system detects and identifies sources. Surfaces are illuminated by sources of light; sound is reflected off surfaces. However, the visual system discounts sources and the auditory system discounts surfaces. These and similar considerations lead to the Theory of Indispensable Attributes that states the conditions for the formation of gestalts in the two modalities. The second linkage involves the formation of audiovisual objects, integrated cross-modal experiences. I describe research that reveals the role of cross-modal causality in the formation of such objects. These experiments use the canonical example of a causal link between vision and audition: a visible impact that causes a percussive sound. -
