Summary
This correction updates author P. H. Templer's affiliation to Boston University. The original listing at the University of California Irvine was an error.
Area of Science:
- Scientific communication and publication ethics.
Background:
- Accurate author affiliations are crucial for scientific integrity and establishing provenance.
- Ensuring correct institutional attribution is a standard practice in scholarly publishing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To formally correct an erroneous author affiliation in a published scientific communication.
- To provide accurate institutional information for author P. H. Templer.
Main Methods:
- A formal correction notice was issued for a Brief Communications Arising Reply.
- The incorrect affiliation was identified and replaced with the correct one.
Main Results:
- The affiliation for author P. H. Templer has been corrected online.
- The previous listing at the University of California Irvine has been superseded.

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

01:15Distance Corrections

To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

01:20Power Factor Correction
547
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

01:14NMR Spectrometers: Resolution and Error Correction
1.1K
When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
