Understanding how the nervous system achieves reliable performance using unreliable components is important for many disciplines of science and engineering, in part because it can suggest ways to lower the energetic cost of computing. In vision, retinal ganglion cells partition visual space into approximately circular regions termed receptive fields (RFs). Average RF shapes are such that they w...

The most popular form of family planning is tubal ligation. Decades-long debates have surrounded the possibility post-tubal ligation syndrome menstrual irregularities. Objective: To study frequency irregularities after in women attending gynecological outpatient department a tertiary care hospital setting. Methods: A cross sectional was conducted on 126 females who had history post syndrome. Ca...

Presence of plasma turbulence can strongly influence propagation properties of electromagnetic signals used for surveillance and communication. In particular, we are interested in the generation of low frequency plasma turbulence in the form of coherent vortex structures coexisting with short scale density irregularities and of lower hybrid turbulence. Lower-hybrid type density irregularities a...

This paper presents the comparative results of a current study on unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) matrix composites processed by filament winding method, with cotton spun yarn of different mass irregularities and two different volume fractions. Physical and mechanical properties were measured, namely ultimate stress, stiffness, elongation%. The mechanical properties of the composites increase...

Location-based mobile learning (LBML) is a type of mobile learning in which the learning content is related to the location of the learner. The evaluation of LBML concepts and technologies is typically performed using methods known from classical usability engineering, such as questionnaires or interviews. In this paper, the authors argue for applying visual analytics to spatial and spatio-temp...

This paper examines the implications of a college of engineering’s institutional structure for men and women engineering students. The data for this paper is drawn from a large “person-centered ethnography” (Hollan & Wellenkamp, 1993), taking place at “Large Public University (LPU)” a flagship state university in the Pacific Northwest. We argue that the timing of admission, and students’ belief...

The document on the music stand in front of performing musicians has become reterritorialized by dynamic and interactive notation enabled by computational and communications technologies. The implications are far reaching for how we create, how we play, and how we listen to music. Considering the mediated musical score as a collaborative workspace, issues of awareness and structural relationshi...
