How similar must two successively presented patterns be for phi movement to be perceived between them? Phi movement between two granular patterns, one being the photographic negative of theother, appeared to be rater&, towards the direction of the earlier stimulus. Moving objects, dis-played on a TV picture which was made positive and negative on alternate frames, appeared to move backw...

Geo-electrical resistivity techniques have been employed in the High Barind as a reconnaissance investigation for the subsurface lithology. Out of 13 upazillas, comprising the Barind tract, Sapahar and Porsha Upazillas, situated in the High Barind are badly affected by water shortage. Vertical electrical soundings (VES) were executed using Schlumberger configuration in different areas taking th...

ion of Physical Properties from Complex Object Interactions—The Case of Elasticity Manfred Nusseck, Roland Fleming and Heinrich H. Bülthoff MPI for Biological Cybernetics, Tübingen [email protected] For humans it is useful to be able to visually infer an object’s physical properties (e.g. weight, hardness or elasticity). One potentially important source of information is the way ...

Attachment disorder” and “attachment therapy” are common terms used in applied clinical practice. However, these terms are not typically employed in research settings or published scientific papers. In this article, the author reviews the theoretical tenets and empirical research of attachment theory and discusses how these two terms fail to coincide with the scientific knowledge. The historica...

The approach to transition policy taken in the last few years can generally be characterized as top-down. After a period of almost exclusive preoccupation with mapping problems on a national scale, scholars and policy-makers have become more interested in regional differences and local problems. With the support of international organizations, such as the World Bank and PHARE programs, etc., co...

Conventional macro mechanical models and closed form estimates are in many cases not sufficient to appropriately predict the stiffness and strength of composite materials. Composite failure occurs as a result of complex microstructural damage mechanisms, which arise simultaneously with other nonlinear effects in the microstructure. In this contribution we propose an approach, where nonlinear ma...
