THEMIS observation of a magnetotail current sheet flap** wave
A flap** wave was observed by THEMIS-B (P1) and THEMIS-C (P2) probes on the dawn side of the magnetotail, while the solar wind was generally stable. The magnetic activity was quite weak, suggesting that this...

Enhanced anti-sunward flow near local noon during a period of horizontal IMF and high solar wind velocity V Y
It is believed that a southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is mainly responsible for the energy input from solar wind into the magnetosphere. This paper presents an unusual case of strong anti-sunward...

Selling creates a loss while buying generates a gain: Capturing the implicit irrational bias by the IAT method
The endowment effect is the tendency for a person to demand more in return for selling an object than he or she would be willing to pay for the same product. Thaler suggested that the reason of endowment effec...
