Performing typical network tasks such as node scanning and path tracing can be difficult in large and dense graphs. To alleviate this problem we use eye-tracking as an interactive input to detect tasks that users intend to perform and then produce unobtrusive visual changes that support these tasks. First, we introduce a novel fovea based filtering that dims out edges with endpoints far removed...

Recent observations of Type Ia SNe at redshifts 0 < z < 1 reveal a progressive dimming which has been interpreted as evidence for a cosmological constant of ΩΛ ∼ 0.7. An alternative explanation of the SN results is an open universe with ΩΛ = 0 and the presence of ∼> 0.1μm dust grains with a mass density of Ωdust ∼ (few) × 10 −5 in the intergalactic (IG) medium. The same dust that dims the SNe a...

Stachybotrys elegans is able to parasitize the fungal plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 following a complex and intimate interaction, which, among others, includes the production of cell wall-degrading enzymes, intracellular colonization, and expression of pathogenic process encoding genes. However, information on the metabolome level is non-existent during mycoparasitism. Here, we perform...

striped moving pattern, then when the motion is stopped the stripes appear to move back in the opposite direction. This motion aftereffect can be built up to one eye and elicited from the other eye. Murakami aimed an annular stimulus containing drifting stripes at the blind spot of the right eye. Filling-in made this look like a complete striped disk. He then tested with a small striped disk, s...

We construct a locally linearly independent basis for the space S 1 q (() (q 5). Bases with this property were available only for some subspaces of smooth bivariate splines. x1. Introduction Let IR 2 be a simply connected polygonal domain, and let denote a triangulation of consisting of N triangles, V vertices and E edges. Given 0 r < q, consider the linear space of bivariate polynomial splines...

Semantic and verbal fluency tasks are widely used as a measure of frontal capacities. It has been well described in literature that patients affected by schizophrenic and bipolar disorders present a worse execution in these tasks. Some authors have also noted the importance of educational years. Our objective is to analyze whether the effect of cognitive malfunction caused by apathology is supe...

Consider the familiar principle that typically (or generically) a system of m scalar equations in n variables where m>n has no solutions. This principle can be reformulated geometrically as follows. If S is a submanifold of a manifold X with codimension m (i.e. m = άimX — dimS) and iϊf:R-*X is a smooth mapping where m>n, then usually or generically Image /nS is empty. One of the basic tenets in...

The DEEP2 and COMBO-17 surveys are used to study the evolution of the luminosity function of red and blue galaxies to z ∼ 1. Schechter function fits show that, since z = 1, M∗ B dims by ∼ 1.3 mag per unit redshift for both color classes, φ∗ of blue galaxies shows little change, while φ∗ for red galaxies has formally nearly quadrupled. At face value, the number density of blue galaxies has remai...
