Milner and Goodale described a model which distinguishes between two visual streams in the brain. It is claimed that the ventral stream serves object recognition (i.e. vision for perception), and the dorsal streams provides visual information for the guidance of action (i.e. vision for action). This model is supported by evidence from the domain of spatial vision, but it remains unclear how mot...

Animal research often relies on catching wild animals; however, individuals may have different trappability, and this can generate bias. We studied bias in mist netting, the main method for catching wild birds. The unusually high resighting rate in our study population-house sparrows (Passer domesticus) on Lundy Island (England)-allowed us to obtain accurate estimates of the population size. Th...

This paper presents the current progress on a trajectory estimation of a flying object for a robotic catching system, using general purpose and readily available hardware. A recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is used to extract and predict the position of a flying object in a 3D environment with the information gathered from only one camera.

BACKGROUND Previous schizophrenia research involving the "beads task" has suggested an association between delusions and 2 reasoning biases: (1) "jumping to conclusions" (JTC), whereby early, resolute decisions are formed on the basis of little evidence and (2) over-adjustment of probability estimates following a single instance of disconfirmatory evidence. In the current study, we used a novel...

To catch or grasp an object, the initiation of hand closure has to be coordinated with the relative movement between hand and object. In search of a common control of the initiation of hand closure for both tasks (van de Kamp, Bongers, & Zaal, 2010), the authors studied two tasks, catching while keeping the hand stationary and prehension. They showed that the initiation of hand closure could we...

This study aims to uncover the practice of profit sharing fisherman in Yainuelo Village, Central Maluku Regency and meaning behind practice. research uses a qualitative method with ethnomethodology approach. The instruments for data collection are observation interviews whereas informants this eight people who work on fishing boats. obtained then analyzed using indexicality reflexivity analysis...

In the early 80-ies of last century, there was a sharp decline in population Caspian beluga Russia. Its fishing prohibited, except for catching reproduction and scientific purposes. practice sturgeon breeding, method repeated use females males by obtaining sexual products vivo, as well growing breeders artificial conditions, has become widely put into practice. Against background an acute short...

The fish abundance index over an ocean region is defined here to be the integral of expected catch per unit effort (CPUE), approximated by the sum of expected CPUE over grid squares. When trawl surveys are done within grid squares selected according to a probability sampling design, several other sources of variation such as the fish population dynamics and the catching process are also involve...
