A moving object is perceived to lie beyond a static object presented at the same time at the same retinal location (flash-lag effect or FLE). Some studies report that if the moving stimulus stops moving (flash-terminated condition or FTC) the instant the flash occurs, a FLE does not occur. Other studies, using different stimuli, report that the FLE does, in fact, occur in the FTC. The FTC is th...

Peripheral vision for static form is limited both by reduced spatial acuity and by interference among adjacent features ('crowding'). However, the visibility of acuity-corrected image motion is relatively constant across the visual field. We measured whether spatial interference among nearby moving elements is similarly invariant of retinal eccentricity and assessed if motion integration could ...

[1] The accuracy of geologic chronologies can, in principle, be improved through orbital tuning, the systematic adjustment of a chronology to bring the associated record into greater alignment with an orbitally derived signal. It would be useful to have a general test for the success of orbital tuning, and one proposal has been that eccentricity ought to covary with the amplitude envelope assoc...

The eccentricity transform associates to each point of a shape the distance to the point farthest away from it. The transform is defined in any dimension, for open and closed manyfolds, is robust to Salt & Pepper noise, and is quasi-invariant to articulated motion. This paper presents and algorithm to efficiently compute the eccentricity transform of a polygonal shape with or without holes. In ...

We investigate the estimation of orbital parameters by least-χ2 Keplerian fits to radial velocity (RV) data using synthetic data sets. We find that while the fitted period is fairly accurate, the best-fit eccentricity and Mp sin i are systematically biased upward from the true values for low signal-to-noise ratio K/σ . 3 and moderate number of observations Nobs . 60, leading to a suppression of...

Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity progressively diminish with increasing viewing eccentricity. Here we evaluated how visual enumeration is affected by visual eccentricity, and whether subitizing capacity, the accurate enumeration of a small number (∼3) of items, decreases with more eccentric viewing. Participants enumerated gratings whose (1) stimulus size was constant across eccentricity,...

The eccentricity of a vertex is the maximum distance from it to another vertex and the average eccentricity ecc (G) of a graph G is the mean value of eccentricities of all vertices of G. The harmonic index H (G) of a graph G is defined as the sum of 2 di+dj over all edges vivj of G, where di denotes the degree of a vertex vi in G. In this paper, we determine the unique tree with minimum average...

This paper is devoted to the problem of rejecting oscillatory position-dependent disturbances with unknown frequency and unknown amplitude. The considered disturbances are here assumed to be produced by eccentricity in mechanical systems and drives. Most of the previous works on eccentricity cancellation assume a time-depending oscillation, we instead assume that the oscillatory disturbance is ...

This study represents a comparison of the functional interrelation fatigue and cognitive, cardiovascular autonomic nervous systems in group Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) patients compared with those healthy individuals at different stages analysis: baseline after changes induced by whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) combined static-stretching (SS) program. The included 32 (Fukuda criteria) 18 contro...

in this paper, we calculate the eccentric connectivity index and the eccentricity sequence of two infinite classes of fullerenes with 50 + 10k and 60 + 12k (k in n) carbon atoms.
