Binocular alignment of foveal images is facilitated by cross-couplings of vergence eye movements with distance and direction of gaze. These couplings reduce horizontal, vertical and cyclodisparities at the fovea without using feedback from retinal image disparity. Horizontal vergence is coupled with accommodation. Vertical vergence that aligns tertiary targets in asymmetric convergence is thoug...

is a functor from groups to rings, endowed with induction (transfer) maps. In this paper we investigate these functors for complex oriented cohomology theories E∗, particularly p–complete theories with an associated formal group of height n. We briefly remind our readers of the terms in this last sentence. A multiplicative cohomology theory E∗ is complex oriented if there exists a class x ∈ E2(...

This study is an examination of the long-term coercive effect of state community benefit laws (CB Laws) on the provision of community health activities in U.S. acute care hospitals.

Three studies of different mobile-device hand postures are presented. The first study measures the performance of postures in Fitts’ law tasks using one and two hands, thumbs and index fingers, horizontal and vertical movements, and frontand back-of-device interaction. Results indicate that the index finger performs well on both the front and the back of the device, and that thumb performance o...
