When Preservation Moves Off Campus

Knowing where we're heading--when nothing moves.

Past research indicates that observers rely strongly on flow-based and object-based motion information for determining egomotion or direction of heading. More recently, it has been shown that they also rely on displacement information that does not induce motion perception. As yet, little is known regarding the specific displacement cues that are used for heading estimation. In Experiment 1a, w...

A Negotiation Meta Strategy Combining Trade-off and Concession Moves

In this paper we present a meta strategy that combines two negotiation tactics. The first one based on concessions, and the second one, a tradeoff tactic. The goal of this work is to demonstrate by experimental analysis that the combination of different negotiation tactics allows agents to improve the negotiation process and as a result, to obtain more satisfactory agreements. The scenario prop...

Protein dynamics with off-lattice Monte Carlo moves.

A Monte Carlo method for dynamics simulation of all-atom protein models is introduced, to reach long times not accessible to conventional molecular dynamics. The considered degrees of freedom are the dihedrals at Cα-atoms. Two Monte Carlo moves are used: single rotations about torsion axes, and cooperative rotations in windows of amide planes, changing the conformation globally and locally, res...

Do Off-campus Courses Possess a Level of Quality Comparable to That of On-campus Courses?

The purpose of this study was to describe and compare perceptions of the quality of on-campus and off-campus courses held by students enrolled in courses offered through the College of Agriculture OffCampus Professional Agriculture Degree Programs @= 173) and faculty members with teaching responsibilities or with teaching experience in the same college of agriculture ( N = 2 6 2 ) .
