BEST APPROXIMATION IN QUASI TENSOR PRODUCT SPACE AND DIRECT SUM OF LATTICE NORMED SPACES

We study the theory of best approximation in tensor product and the direct sum of some lattice normed spacesX_{i}. We introduce quasi tensor product space anddiscuss about the relation between tensor product space and thisnew space which we denote it by X boxtimesY. We investigate best approximation in direct sum of lattice normed spaces by elements which are not necessarily downwardor upward a...

Direction discrimination learning in normal and visually deprived cats and the effects of lateral suprasylvian lesions.

We used 5 binocularly deprived cats (BD cats), 4 control cats reared also in the laboratory (C cats) and 4 cats reared in a normal environment (N cats). The cats were trained to discriminate an upward or downward-moving light spot versus a stationary spot (detection task) and then an upward versus a downward spot (direction task). The N and C cats learned slowly. The learning was slower than in...
