Perception entails interactions between activated brain visual areas and the records of previous sensations, allowing for processes like figure-ground segregation and object recognition. The aim of this study was to characterize top-down effects that originate in the visual cortex and that are involved in the generation and perception of form. We performed a functional magnetic resonance imagin...

The Hox gene collinearity enigma has often been approached using models based on biomolecular mechanisms. The biophysical model is an alternative approach based on the hypothesis that collinearity is caused by physical forces pulling the Hox genes from a territory where they are inactive to a distinct spatial domain where they are activated in a step by step manner. Such Hox gene translocations...

Spatial integration has been shown to substantially decline with age. We examined the mechanism underlying this age-related impairment. Young and older adults were tested on the ability to integrate contour elements across variations in the collinearity of the target elements, their spatial proximity, and the relative spacing of the target elements to the background noise elements (Δ). The resu...

Many Krylov subspace methods for shifted linear systems take advantage of the invariance of the Krylov subspace under a shift of the matrix. However, exploiting this fact in the non-Hermitian case introduces restrictions; e.g., initial residuals must be collinear and this collinearity must be maintained at restart. Thus we cannot simultaneously solve shifted systems with unrelated right-hand si...

BACKGROUND If several risk factors for disease are considered in a regression model and these factors are affected by measurement errors, the observed relative risk will be attenuated. In nutritional epidemiology, several nutrient variables show strong correlation, described as collinearity. The observed relative risk will then depend not only on the validity of the chosen diet assessment metho...

In recent years, the UAV’s are increasingly becoming main part of both military and commercial operations, where accurate pose estimation is considered as a critical problem to be investigated. UAV pose estimation problem can be investigated through vision based navigation (VBN) approach where visual sensors are augmented with the traditional IMU unit. VBN is based on localizing set of features...

In this paper, we consider the question whether mobile multi-user MIMO measurements can be emulated by sequentially measuring each point-to-point link with a single channel sounder. The crucial aspect of this approach is whether it is practically feasible to keep the environment sufficiently static between sequential measurement runs. We investigate this aspect in the context of an outdoor-to-i...

Roundabout models, available in the literature widely, vary between one method and another. Majority of the models are solely based on circulating fl ow to estimate capacity. The relationship between maximum entry fl ow of large dual and triple lane roundabouts and their geometric and traffi c characteristics is investigated here for saturated fl ow condition using multivariate analysis. The de...

in this paper, we introduce the concepts of $2$-isometry, collinearity, $2$%-lipschitz mapping in $2$-fuzzy $2$-normed linear spaces. also, we give anew generalization of the mazur-ulam theorem when $x$ is a $2$-fuzzy $2$%-normed linear space or $im (x)$ is a fuzzy $2$-normed linear space, thatis, the mazur-ulam theorem holds, when the $2$-isometry mapped to a $2$%-fuzzy $2$-normed linear space...
