Spark from the Deep
How encounters with strongly electric fish informed our grasp of electricity. Spark from the Deep tells the story of how human beings came to understand and use electricity by studying the evolved mechanisms of strongly electric fish. These animals have the ability to shock potential prey or would-be predators with high-powered electrical discharges. William J. Turkel asks completely fresh questions about the evolutionary, environmental, and historical aspects of people's interest in electric fish. Stimulated by painful encounters with electric catfish, torpedos, and electric eels, people learned to harness the power of electric shock for medical therapies and eventually developed technologies to store, transmit, and control electricity. Now we look to these fish as an inspiration for engineering new sensors, computer interfaces, autonomous undersea robots, and energy-efficient batteries.

Excellent experiments with electricity and magnetism
Ever wonder how astronauts are able to breathe a continuous supply of oxygen in space? This hands-on approach to electricity and magnetism lets readers conduct experiments to answer this and other fascinating questions! Readers will love learning that the scientific principles they re applying at home have real-world applications. For example, they ll rock out on their own electric drums while learning about technological advances in professional instruments. Simple step-by-step instructions accompanied by detailed photographs make each activity accessible, while handy tips ensure readers safety and fun. Budding scientists will enjoy exploring the recommended twists and additions to experiments.

Ability of Compensation for the Subjects of Agricultural Natural Disasters Based on Brain Evoked Potential Experiment
The present study studies the ability of the compensation for the subjects of agricultural natural disasters, using the brain evoked potential experiment. With 30 healthy volunteers recruited from the government, farmers, and intermediary organizations as subjects, this article analyzes the level and operation mechanism of compensation of agricultural natural disasters, and the subjects and their characteristics, and construct a multi-subject compensation mechanism for natural disasters in agriculture. The results show as follows: (1) The government financial compensation has a positive effect on the compensation for the subjects of agricultural natural disasters. (2) Market compensation has a positive effect on the compensation for the subjects of agricultural natural disasters. (3) Social compensation has a positive effect on the compensation for the subjects of agricultural natural disasters. The study evaluates the ability of agricultural natural disaster compensation at present using systematic engineering theory and institutional entropy method and proposes countermeasures to improve the ability of compensation of natural disasters in agriculture from the perspective of transforming the concept of government financial compensation, clarifying the functions of the government and the market, and establishing and improving the social compensation of mutual assistance.

Testing for crowd out in social nudges
This study considers the response of household electricity consumption to social nudges during peak load events. Our investigation considers two social nudges. The first targets conservation during peak load events, while the second promotes aggregate conservation. Using data from a natural field experiment with 42,100 households, we find that both social nudges reduce peak load electricity consumption by 2 to 4% when implemented in isolation and by nearly 7% when implemented in combination. These findings suggest an important role for social nudges in the regulation of electricity markets and a limited role for crowd out effects.
