The present study aimed to characterize the effect of a nearby distractor on vertical, horizontal, and oblique saccade curvature under normal saccade preparation times. Consistent with previous findings, longer-latency vertical saccades showed greater curvature away from a distractor than did oblique or horizontal saccades. At short latencies, vertical saccades also showed greater curvature tow...

Roll-bending technology has a high degree of flexibility and does not require special molds. However, based on the existing plastic mechanics theory finite element simulation, it is difficult to accurately analyze complex spatial relationship profile roll forming. Therefore, fixed-curvature prediction model constructed XGBoost (extreme gradient boosting), coupling effect process parameters mate...

Reminding children to think about alternatives is a strategy adults often use to promote children's cognitive flexibility, as well as children's engagement in and enjoyment of the task. The current study investigated whether the impacts of reminders on kindergarten children's cognitive flexibility, intrinsic motivation, and mood are moderated by who provides the reminders. Eighty-three healthy ...

The present paper reports a pilot study which tested cognitive effects of mindfulness practice in a theory-driven approach. Thirty-four fifth graders received either a mindfulness training which was based on the mindfulness-based stress reduction approach (experimental group), a concentration training (active control group), or no treatment (passive control group). Based on the operational defi...

In 1964, Hayashi [8] defined and studied the notions of ?-dense in itself sets and ?-perfect subsets in ideal topological spaces. In 1999, Dontchev et al. [5] have studied the notion of Ideal resolvability through codense and completely codense ideal topological spaces. Recently, in the year 2004, Keskin, Noiri and Yuksel [12] have introduced and studied the concepts of fI -sets and fI -continu...

Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain basic inequalities for different kind of submaniforlds of a Sasakian space form tangent to the structure vector field of the ambient manifold. Contrary to already known results, we find a different necessary and sufficient condition for the equality for Ricci curvature of C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form...

Modal verbs in English are challenging to learn by speakers of other languages. The purpose of thiswas to shed light on the use of gesture in learning English modal verbs by Persian-speaking children.To achieve this, 60 elementary Iranian learners, studying at some institutes in Karaj took part in thisstudy. The participants were randomly put into one experimental group and one control group. T...

This paper deals with the study of joint clearance on kinematics of mechanism and bearing stiffness along with links flexibility on modal analysis at higher frequency. Literature survey reveals that the studies were carried out for highspeed mechanism considering linkage flexibility without considering bearing stiffness. The method of calculating clearance at joints, checking for orientation of...

We consider a semi-nonparametric specification for the density of latent variables in Generalized Linear Latent Variable Models (GLLVM). This specification is flexible enough to allow for an asymmetric, multi-modal, heavy or light tailed smooth density. The degree of flexibility required by many applications of GLLVM can be achieved through the semi-nonparametric specification with a finite num...

Model reduction of large nonlinear systems often involves the projection governing equations onto linear subspaces spanned by carefully-selected modes. The criteria to select modes relevant for are usually problem-specific and heuristic. In this work, we propose a rigorous mode-selection criterion based on recent theory Spectral Submanifolds (SSM), which facilitates reliable modal subspaces. SS...
