People usually see things using frontal viewing, and avoid lateral viewing (or eccentric gaze) where the directions of the head and eyes are largely different. Lateral viewing interferes with attentive visual search performance, probably because the head is directed away from the target and/or because the head and eyes are misaligned. In this study, we examined which of these factors is the pri...

An implementation and limited extension of a traffic sign recognition method based on the work by [1] is presented here. This implementation can be extended to target real-time detection. Yield sign, stop sign and red-bordered circular signs are considered. First, image is color segmented based on a thresholding technique. Then, corner features are detected using convolution masks (based on wor...

Abstract Upon entering the tidal sphere of a supermassive black hole, star is ripped apart by tides and transformed into stream debris. The ultimate fate that debris, properties bright flare produced observed, depends on number parameters, including energy center mass original star. Here we present results set smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations in which 1 M ⊙ , γ = 5/3 polytrope disrup...

Recently it became clear that the expression Eq.(115) in the paper [1] for the description of azimuthal sinφ spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive hadroproduction in DIS on longitudinally (with respect to the lepton momentum) polarized target contains a misprint in sign of the twist 3 term. This sign was corrected later in the paper [2] (Eq.(2)). However all authors [3, 4, 5, 6] (including us) aim...

Individuals with healthy vision can spontaneously form a stable preferred retinal locus (PRL) over a period of several hours during eccentric viewing tasks. This process is poorly understood and does not appear to be driven by selection of retinal regions that optimize performance. It is also unknown whether PRL formation can be guided by training or attention, or whether the initial process of...

Eccentric exercise is characterized by initial unfavorable effects such as subcellular muscle damage, pain, reduced fiber excitability, and initial muscle weakness. However, stretch combined with overload, as in eccentric contractions, is an effective stimulus for inducing physiological and neural adaptations to training. Eccentric exercise-induced adaptations include muscle hypertrophy, increa...

This nonexhaustive mini-review reports on the application of eccentric exercise in various rehabilitation populations. The two defining properties of eccentric muscle contractions--a potential for high muscle-force production at an energy cost that is uniquely low--are revisited and formatted as exercise countermeasures to muscle atrophy, weakness, and deficits in physical function. Following a...

Eccentric ellipsoidal variables (aka heartbeat stars) is a class of eccentric binaries in which proximity effects, tidal distortion due to time-dependent potential particular, lead measurable photometric variability close the periastron passage. The varying may also give rise tidally-excited oscillations (TEOs). TEOs play an important role dynamical evolution massive systems. Our study aimed at...
