We also look at how popular ad and tracking blockers change the features used by sites, and identify a set of approximately 10% of features that are disproportionately blocked (prevented from executing by these extensions at least 90% of the time they are used). We additionally find that in the presence of these blockers, over 83% of available features are executed on less than 1% of the most popular 10,000 websites. We further measure other aspects of browser feature usage on the web, including how many features websites use, how the length of time a browser feature has been in the browser relates to its usage on the web, and how many security vulnerabilities have been associated with related browser features..

In this way, we were able to determine distortions in temporal perception as changes in the timing necessary for the sound and the flash to be perceived synchronous. We found that within a regular context, the perceived timing of deviant last stimuli changed so that the relative anisochrony appeared to be perceptually decreased. In the irregular context, the perceived timing of irregular stimuli following a regular sequence was not affected.

Furthermore, the results obtained from magnetotransport and SQUID magnetometry measurements are compared, extracting the dependence of the piezo induced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy constant upon strain in both cases and discussing why the magnetotransoport measurements are believed to be more accurate than SQUID magnetometry measurements in evaluating the inverse magnetostriction effects in (Ga,Mn)As piezoelectric actuator hybrid systems.Finally, Chapter 6 contains the results of an investigation attempting to use ultrashort strain pulses to switch the magnetization direction in a (Ga,Mn)(As,P) sample on fast time scales. These pulses are generated by femtosecond optical excitation of a metal transducer film deposited on the back of the substrate and travel ballistically through it until they reach the sample under investigation. Despite demonstrating that this method can indeed be used to induce a fast irreversible switching of the magnetization orientation in the (Ga,Mn)(As,P) sample, time resolved magnetotransport measurements show that the switching is not triggered by the strain pulse, but rather by the transverse heat pulse, the latter being generated with the strain pulse during the optical excitation of the metal film.

Jump to contentmy subredditsFor context, I was pondering this question earlier because sometimes I get asked where I got a piece of clothing and a lot of the time the answer is “oh just a random thrift store in. Uh. Thailand/Bulgaria/Spain/wherever” and that sent me on a train of thought that I love to hear all your opinions on..
