Although there is no retinal input within the blind spot, it is filled with the same visual attributes as its surround. Earlier studies showed that neural responses are evoked at the retinotopic representation of the blind spot in the primary visual cortex (V1) when perceptual filling-in of a surface or completion of a bar occurs. To determine whether these neural responses correlate with perce...

Paper presents a method to measure the dynamic parameters of viscoelastic material bar by the longitudinal vibration testing in a wide frequency range. In the measurement, one end of the bar is driven by a transducer using a pulse wave and the other end is allowed to move freely. The vibration velocity of the free end of the bar is measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer. The dynamic parameters ...

The microlensing probability (optical depth τ) toward the Galactic center carries information about the mass distribution of the Galactic bulge/bar, so can be used to constrain the very uncertain shape parameters of the Galactic bar. In this paper we study a family of bar models with tunable triaxiality, boxyness and radial profile to span the range of plausible density models of the Galactic b...

Previously, the switching field of nanolithographically defined single-domain permalloy and nickel bars was found to increase monotonically as the bar aspect ratio increases or as the bar width decreases. In this work, we will show, for the first time, that when the bar width is fixed, the switching field of nanolithographically defined single-domain nickel and cobalt bars changes nonmonotonica...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Maintaining blood glucose within homeostatic limits and eating foods that sup-press hunger and promote satiety have beneficial impacts for health. This study investigated the glycaemic re-sponse and satiety effects of a serving size of a healthier snack bar, branded Nothing Else, that met the required nutrient profiling score criteria for a health claim, in comparison ...

A central bar repeatedly presented in alternation with two flanking bars can lead to the disappearance of the central bar. Recently it has been suggested that this masking effect could be explained by object-mediated updating: the information from the central bar is integrated into the representation of the flankers, leading not only to the disappearance of the central bar as a separate object,...

PURPOSE To compare prefabricated and custom-made bars used for implant-retained mandibular complete overdentures. MATERIALS Ten completely edentulous patients were selected for replacement with dental implants. Each patient received 2 (press-fit) dental implants, 1 implant on each side in the canine regions of the mandible. The implants were left submerged (unloaded) for a healing osseointegr...

The true value of a high jump is the maximum height that the athlete would have been able to clear cleanly, and its value generally is not known. If the bar is knocked down, the jump is ruled a foul and the athlete receives no credit, although a hypothetical bar set at a lower height would have been cleared successfully. If the bar stays up, the athlete is credited with the height of the bar. T...
