The notion of topological entropy dimension for a Z-action has been introduced to measure the subexponential complexity of zero entropy systems. Given a Z2-action, along with a Z2-entropy dimension, we also consider a finer notion of directional entropy dimension arising from its subactions. The entropy dimension of a Z2-action and the directional entropy dimensions of its subactions satisfy ce...

The directional dynamics of the resonant Rayleigh scattering from a semiconductor microcavity is investigated. When optically exciting the lower polariton branch, the strong dispersion results in a directional emission on a ring. The coherent emission ring shows a reduction of its angular width for increasing time after excitation, giving direct evidence for the time-energy uncertainty in the d...

Wardriving is searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks by moving vehicle. It involves using a car or truck and a Wi-Fi-equipped computer, such as a laptop or a PDA, to detect the networks. It was also known as 'WiLDing' (Wireless LAN Driving).Many wardrivers use GPS devices to measure the location of the network find and log it on a website. For better range, antennas are built or bought, and vary...

Most work on unsupervised entailment rule acquisition focused on rules between templates with two variables, ignoring unary rules entailment rules between templates with a single variable. In this paper we investigate two approaches for unsupervised learning of such rules and compare the proposed methods with a binary rule learning method. The results show that the learned unary rule-sets outpe...

The visualization of an exceptional point in a PT-symmetric directional coupler (DC) is demonstrated. In such a system the exceptional point can be probed by varying only a single parameter. Using the Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory we prove that the spectrum of a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian is real as long as the radius of convergence has not been reached. We also show how one can use a ...

Most multivariate measures of skewness in the literature measure the overall skewness of a distribution. These measures were designed for testing the hypothesis of distributional symmetry and their relevance for describing skewed distributions is less obvious. In this article, we consider the problem of characterising the skewness of multivariate distributions. We define directional skewness as...

In this paper, we study the quantitative behavior of one-dimensional linear cellular automata Tf [−r,r], defined by local rule f(x−r, . . . , xr) = r ∑ i=−r λixi (mod m), acting on the space of all doubly infinite sequences with values in a finite ring Zm, m ≥ 2. Once generalize the formulas given by Ban et al. [J. Cellular Automata 6 (2011) 385-397] for measure-theoretic entropy and topologica...

Dendrites in many neurons actively compute information. In retinal starburst amacrine cells, transformations from synaptic input to output occur within individual dendrites and mediate direction selectivity, but directional signal fidelity at individual synaptic outputs and correlated activity among neighboring outputs on starburst dendrites have not been examined systematically. Here, we recor...

Several different directional anisotropies have been found in global motion perception. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the motion sensitive cortical area V5/MT+ in directional anisotropies for translational flow fields. Experiments 1 and 2 tested direction discrimination and detection of moving random dot patterns. When the speed of motion was 8 deg/s, lower coherence thre...
