Examples of register in the following topics:
-
Sensory Registers
- The best understood of the sensory registers (SRs) are for hearing (echoic) and seeing (iconic).
- In the cup example, light reflecting off the cup hits my eye; the image is transferred through my optic nerve to the sensory register.
- For the visual sensory register, for example, representation is iconic-- limited to the field of vision, and lasts for about 250 milliseconds.
- Representation in the auditory register is echoic (based on sound); its duration is 2-3 seconds, it is only limited to the sounds we actually can hear and decay is the primary cause for forgetting.
- As previously mentioned, much less is known about the other three register types.

Introduction
- A register is a distinctive part of a vocal or instrumental range.
- For example, singers may speak of the head register, in the upper part of their range, and the chest register in the lower part of their range.
- These two registers sound and feel very different, and the singer may have even have two distinct tessituras, one in each register.
- The large range of the clarinet is also divided into distinctive registers with different capabilities and very different timbres.
- Even when an instrument does not have a very large variation in timbre over its range, its players may speak of the difficulty of "playing in the high register" or a "dull timbre in the low register".

Types of Bonds
- Bonds may be registered as to principal (or face value of the bond) or as to both principal and interest.
- Most bonds in our economy are registered as to principal only.
- For a bond registered as to both principal and interest, the issuer pays the bond interest by check.
- To transfer ownership of registered bonds, the owner endorses the bond and registers it in the new owner's name.Therefore, owners can easily replace lost or stolen registered bonds.
- These are not registered as to interest.

Practice 2: Calculating Probabilities
- 48% of all Californians registered voters prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder.
- Among Latino California registered voters, 55% prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder.
- C = Californians ( registered voters ) preferring life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder

Introduction
- Information processing (IP) is a cognitive processing theory (see, Ashcraft, 1994).While other theories in this e-book are learning or instructional in nature, IP theory seeks to explain how the mind functions.Learning components such as rehearsal and elaboration are associated with IP; however, most emphasis is placed on understanding how information is processed rather than how learning happens.Another aspect of this theory is that it is explicitly analogous to a computer's processor.The basic IP model has three components: sensory register (SR), short-term memory (STM) or working memory, and long-term memory (LTM).The corresponding components of the computer are input devices or registers, the CPU, and hard drive storage, respectively.This metaphor is superficially valid, but as it is taken to its limits, the mechanical comparison breaks down.However, knowing that this model is a cognitive processing model and knowing that the model is based on an explicit metaphor with a computer is helpful in understanding IP theory.Let's start with the model and an example.As I write this, I see my cup on my desk.Let's follow this image through the system.The model is depicted below and shows the cup being processed.In the narrative that follows, I will refer back to this cup as it is being cognitively processed.
- Caption: The illustration above represents my coffee cup example.Light reflects off the cup and into the eye.The image is then transferred through the optic nerve to the sensory register.From the sensory register, the image is moved into Short-term Memory (STM) as information about the cup is drawn from Long-term Memory (LTM).The process of elaboration occurs when information is retrieved from the LTM in order to link to the new information.I would like to thank Liyan Song for her work on the Flash model shown above.
- The Sensory Register would include input devices like CDs.

Wikis and Spam
- All edits in your project's wiki must come from registered users; if your wiki software doesn't already enforce this by default, then configure it to enforce that.
- Even then you may need to keep watch for spam edits from users who registered under false pretences for the purpose of spamming.
-
Voting as Political Participation
- In order to participate in voting, citizens must be registered.
- To register, citizens must meet eligibility requirements and have filed the necessary paperwork that permits them to vote in a given locality.
- Beginning in the 1980s, some states, including Maine, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, made it possible for people to register on Election Day.
- The United States is one of the few democracies that requires citizens to register themselves rather than having the government take responsibility for automatically registering them.
- RTV registered over 2 million new voters in 1992, 80% of whom cast a ballot, and signed up over 2.5 million voters in 2008.
