Several brightness illusions indicate that borders can dramatically affect the perception of adjoining surfaces. In the Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet illusion, in particular, two equiluminant surfaces can appear different in brightness due to the contrast border between them. Although the psychophysical nature of this phenomenon has been well characterized, the neural circuitry underlying this effect...

In well-behaved cases of adjectival modification, the adjective-noun sequence describes a firstorder property whose content is fully determined by the contents of the adjective and the noun. For example, the truth conditions of They hired a vegetarian dentist, They hired a former linguist, and They hired an electrical engineer, are functions of the property of being a vegetarian dentist, of bei...

The existing relationship between human populations is a function of their migratory and genetic exchange, which will be inversely proportional to the distance separating them. The effect of geographic distance on population structure may be estimated by means of isonymic methods that use information on the surnames present in a territory as an approximation to the distribution of allele freque...

Spatial planning in border areas in Iran because of long borders and settling more than half ofthe provinces in the country's international borders with neighbouring countries play particular role in the planningsystem. This article aims to clarify the position of border areas spatial planning in the country planning system,identifying its elements, elucidating how these elements relate to othe...

In the anesthetized open-chest dog the ischemic area produced by coronary occlusion is surrounded by an area of nonischemic contractile dysfunction, identified as the functional border zone. To establish whether a similar functional border zone exists in the conscious animal during acute regional ischemia and to determine its spatial dimensions and temporal changes, we performed simultaneous tw...

There are many approaches to assessing the level of adaptation population modern challenges, but all them not perfect: they consider only certain aspects and factors problem. The aim this article is substantiate tools for effectiveness mechanisms border area public administration sector from standpoint a statistical approach. authors attempt determine result on basis criteria reproductive (adap...
