Previous work has demonstrated a difference in human sensitivity to compressive and shearing speed gradients. This raises the possibility that the ability to estimate the slant of a surface may vary with its direction of tilt. No such variance was found here, which may indicate that slant estimation depends upon deformation rather than upon compression or shear.

Several individual differences including age have been suggested to affect the perception of slant. A cross-sectional study of outdoor hill estimation (N = 106) was analyzed using individual difference measures of age, experiential knowledge, fitness, personality traits, and sex. Of particular note, it was found that for participants who reported any experiential knowledge about slant, estimate...

People judged the inclination of hills viewed either out-of-doors or in a computer-simulated virtual environment. Angle judgments were obtained by having people (1) provide verbal estimates, (2) adjust a representation of the hill's cross-section, and (3) adjust a tilt board with their unseen hand. Geographical slant was greatly overestimated according to the first two measures, but not the thi...

This study looks into the bislant submanifolds of almost product semi-Riemannian manifolds that are Riemannian, and lightlike. We also state theorems provide required conditions for constructing a slant submanifold from submanifold. Morever, we define semi-slant locally discuss integrability distributions invariants or slants constitute

Antennas which are fed by a “shunt” or other method in which a part of the antenna comprises a portion of an electrically small one-turn loop, so that the feed is in essence a sort of autotransformer, are quite common, particularly at frequencies above 10 megahertz. Shunt feed arrangements for grounded vertical tower radiators, such as those used for medium wave broadcasting, are less common. A...

Recently, we have studied and obtained some results on slant submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds [9, 10]. In this paper we study the slant submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold when structure tensor field φ is Killing and obtain some interesting results.

The paper deals with the notion of quasi hemi-slant submersions from Lorentzian para Sasakian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. These are generalization and semi-slant submersions. In this paper, we also study geometry leaves distributions which involved in definition submersion. Further, obtain conditions for such to be integrable totally geodesic. Moreover, give characterization theorems p...
