Reversal of "Cubic" and "Cylindric" Figures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spontaneous figure reversal of ambiguous patterns was analyzed in humans by presenting “Necker-cube”-like, or “drum”-like figures having square or round shaped “front” and “rear” surfaces, and either large or small “depth”. The figures were perceived alternately according to one or the other of two possible mental orientation-interpretations. The subjects signalled the instant of subjective pattern-reversals. Results: perceptual intervals corresponding to both interpretations of “drum” were longer than those of “cube”; the perceived “depth” of the figures was less relevant for reversal timing (“deeper” figures reversed only slightly more slowly and the corresponding intervals were somewhat longer). Although the shape of “front” and “rear” surfaces was not a crucial geometrical feature for representing the three-dimensional nature of the patterns on the two-dimensional stimulus plane, it markedly influenced the timing of figure reversals. More, or longer information processing steps should needed for perceptual-cognitive representations of curvilinear patterns in comparison with rectangular ones.

A Modal Logic for Quanti cationand
The aim of this paper is to study the n-variable fragment of rst order logic from a modal perspective. We deene a modal formalism called cylindric mirror modal logic, and show how it is a modal version of rst order logic with substitution. In this approach, we can deene a semantics for the language which is closely related to algebraic logic, as we nd Polyadic Equality Algebras as the modal or ...

Aim: Intervertebral spacers for anterior spine fusion are made of different materials, which can affect the post-fusion MRI scans. Susceptibility artifacts specially for implants made of titanium alloys can decrease the image quality. This study focused on the influence of determined implant parameters like shape and implant volume in MRI artifacting independent from selected MRI-sequences. Met...
متن کاملCoherent isotropic averaging in zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance. II. Cubic sequences and time-reversal of spin couplings
We present a special case of the theory of coherent isotropic averaging in zero-field NMR, given in part I of this work. In a zero external field, combinations of the magnetic-field pulses restricted to p/2 rotations along the three coordinate axes can selectively average internal spin Hamiltonians while preserving the intrinsic invariance of the spectrum with respect to the sample orientation....
متن کاملHow Operational Parameters and Membrane Characteristics Affect the Performance of Electrodialysis Reversal Desalination Systems: The State of the Art*
Operating parameters and membrane characteristics strongly affect the performance of electrodialysis reversal systems. The most impactful factors are applied voltage, flow rate, temperature, initial feed composition, and ion exchange membrane characteristics; the pH of the feed also has an effect, although to a lesser extent. To determine more precisely how all of these factors impact performan...
