High Damping Factor and Bass Output

There is nothing wrong with exchanging information. Isn't that the point of this forum?

Yes, that is the idea of this forum, discussions. But in the end, on this issue, nothing will be solved, it seems.

I do not have the time to teach them what they need to know.


Then, it seems, nothing will be learned by them or the next generation.



That is an issue if one desires to publish..

Cheers, John


Or, wants to advance the state of knowledge in a field, no? I don't see anything will be expanded on this otherwise.

Yes, it is possible that it was reviewed but authors usually don't pay to have their papers reviewed and published, do they?

Your post stated that the publisher required the author pay a per page charge to have it published, not that money was exchanged to have it reviewed. And your post highlighted the fact that since the publisher was paid a per page amount, the publisher is required by law to categorize the article as an advertisement. Apparently the law does not have a classification for a peer reviewed paper that was published via exchange of money.

Paying a reviewer cannot be considered peer review, and I would be surprised if that is what happened here.

You are in too much of a hurry. My work life deals in projects that take a while. The current one will not turn on until 2020, and yet I've already built and tested prototype hardware and new software algorithms.

My basement lab will not be ready until about fall of 2007. That's ok, I plan to be there when it happens..

Rushing has it's issues. That is what the biggies you evoke have done. Successful, yes...correct?...hmmm

Perhaps by "them", but the next generation, you are incorrect.

My skin theory depiction of toroidal eddy currents is already showing up in the textbooks that will teach the next generation. My current slew rate based skin theory will eventually make it to the textbooks. My analysis of the relationship between L, C, mu, and epsilon will also get there eventually.

Fewer people cite that erroneous skin theory paper which disregards the internal inductance of a wire. Motor-generator is dying away, grain boundary..known as silly..

Human localization theory will begin to change.

The direction is correct, even if not fast enough for some..it takes time to change the foundation, and I am not interested in convincing the students, but rather, the professors.

Premature publishing serves no-one. The foundation is required first.

I also learn from the discussions. The ideas of others can significantly differ from mine, and that is good.

But this quote is not on any published paper I have. So, what does it mean then? That the publisher was not interested but would if the author paid for it? Would that also mean a peer review was included? Or, just published without a peer review? Did you pay for any of your papers to be published, in a Journal?

I agree that the quote is VERY suspect. It means either all legitimate publishers rejected it because of errors, or that it was a paper that had no specific target audience therefore no interest. The scary part is that papers like this can be adopted by the mainstream as legitimate and correct.

Given the errors, I would first suspect no peer review..I prefer to believe(perhaps foolishly) that peer review would have caught the problems.

I've never paid to be published nor have I ever been paid to referee (review) a paper. I am, however, required by my employer, to write papers on what I am doing, either simple division notes or presentations at conferences. (it becomes a madhouse here just before a big conference, as most of the guys here will be co-authors on 10 to 20 papers, proofing becomes wild..

Thanks. Do you think that the journal would have answers or part with the answers if I called them about this paper?

Don't know.

Question is, why? Given the errors, is it important?

Well, I called this AM. These journals in this group that this Journal was published from is indeed charging to publish. And, the article in question was peer reviewed; a black eye on the Journal.

I doubt it is too late to send them a letter commenting on the problems in that paper so they can add add it to the article, if you feel like it, of course.

Thanks for the effort in looking into it.

It's not worth the time sending a letter.
