How we look at other people may affect conclusions drawn about the effect of changes in lighting when this task needs to be done after dark. This paper reports further analysis of the distance and duration of fixation on other pedestrians, updating a previous review by considering a greater number of fixations and by examining the influence on these of other characteristics such as the relative...

The analysis of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) experiments involves mathematical modeling of the fluorescence recovery process. An important feature of FRAP experiments that tends to be ignored in the modeling is that there can be a significant loss of fluorescence due to bleaching during image capture. In this paper, we explicitly include the effects of bleaching during imag...

In order to support concept-creation, we focus on handwriting assuming that it should contain the information on the process toward insight. As a result of intensive analysis of handwriting in concept creation process, one observation is that pen speed gets faster on insight after the period in which pen speed is relatively slow or time gaps get increased. Another observation is that pen pressu...

In these two lectures, we will address the topic of the creation of small black holes during particle collisions in a ground-based accelerator, such as LHC, in the context of a higher-dimensional theory. We will cover the main assumptions, criteria and estimates for their creation, and we will discuss their properties after their formation. The most important observable effect associated with t...

The paper presents a meta-learning approach for textual document classification task and an automatic selection of the best available algorithm for creation of classifiers. After brief introductory description of principles of document preprocessing, creation and evaluation of the classifiers, the metalearning approach is presented as a method for automatic selection of the most appropriate cla...

PURPOSE Temporary fecal diversion may be desired after many anorectal procedures. The aim of this study was to describe a technique for laparoscopy-assisted creation of a loop ileostomy in patients undergoing anorectal and perineal surgery and to relate short-term outcomes. METHODS A retrospective review of the medical records of 53 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted crea...

knowledge creation and innovation is recognized to be of paramount importance to the competitive advantage of organizations in modem economics. this research empirically investigates the creation of new knowledge. to analyze data, we used regression. the results indicate that intention, requisite variety, individual autonomy, project autonomy and redundancy are highly associated with successful...

Questions: Do large, old Sequoiadondron giganteum trees respond to the creation of adjacent canopy gaps? Do other co-occurring tree species and younger S. giganteum adjacent to gaps also respond? What are the likely factors affecting growth responses? Location: Mixed-conifer forests of the southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA. Methods: We measured the growth response of large, old S. gigante...
