Three experiments are reported concerning the texture density aftereffect. The experiments address the question of how visual texture density information is encoded by examining patterns of transfer between different textures. In the first two experiments, it is shown that manipulation of spatial frequency and orientation information does not affect the direction of the aftereffect of density (...

Are porewater flow or stasis exclusive hypotheses? We think there is an intermediate view. Processes governing sandstone cementation in the deep sub-surface are elusive, case-specific and difficult to model in general terms. Combining techniques from petrography, isotopic and ion microprobe analyses with basin modelling one can narrow the possibilities towards unique hypotheses. Examples are gi...

In a very recent paper by Xu and Chen (Soft Comput 12:515–521, 2008), a novel procedure for group decision making with incomplete reciprocal relations was developed. In this note, we examine the function between the fuzzy preference relation and its corresponding priority vector developed by Xu and Chen with a numerical example and show that the function does not hold in general cases. Then, we...

the purpose followed in this study was to utilize the modern model method of spatial multi-attribute decision making (madm) to provide a comprehensive model for priority classification of vulnerable to drought area in the basin of gavkhouni. the main preference of this method over other methods is that in addition to making use of the geographical data the judgment of decision makers is also ma...
