A fundamental aspect of everyday processing involves identifying discrete events within continuously unfolding sensory experience. However, the processes enabling determination of event boundaries remain poorly understood. Recently, inconsistent conclusions have emerged regarding attentional processes associated with detection of event boundaries. Use of the Dwell-Time Paradigm has indicated en...

This paper proposes a novel method to select an experimental design for interpolation in random simulation. (Though the paper focuses on Kriging, this method may also apply to other types of metamodels such as linear regression models.) Assuming that simulation requires much computer time, it is important to select a design with a small number of observations (or simulation runs). The proposed ...

Previous studies of magnetoinductive waves in homogeneous media with resonant elements consisting of capacitively loaded metallic loops are extended to the case when a single wave from one medium is incident upon another one. The relationship between the input and output angles and the reflection and transmission coefficients are determined with the aid of the dispersion equation for different ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of breadth of knowledge lexical features in non-native speakers' (NNS) input and output. Our primary interest is analyzing potential breadth of knowledge lexical differences in the output of NNSs when engaged in interlanguage talk (NNS-NNS) and when engaged in naturalistic speech with a native speaker (NS). We are also interested in input diff...

MOUSEFIELD A MouseField is a robust and versatile input device that can be used at almost any place for controlling information appliances. A MouseField consists of an ID recognizer and motion sensors that can detect an object and its movement after the object is placed on it. By placing an object with an RFID on a MouseField and sliding or rotating the object, a user can control various system...

Active queue management operates at network nodes to control the number of packets in the queue of nodes, by actively receiving packets when the queue is not full, removing packets when the queue is full or notifying bottlenecks even in the embryonic period of the bottlenecks due to to-be-full queue. In recent years, scientists have used fuzzy logic to improve queue management mechanisms. Overa...

This paper presents a survey on the ex isting methods for the stability analysis of fuzzy control systems including both conventional Mamdani s rule based fuzzy controllers and Takagi Sugeno controllers The overview considers several approaches including input output stability frequency response methods Lyapunov techniques and qualitative methods The paper also sumarizes the new stability techn...

The notion of frequency response functions has been generalized to nonlinear systems in several ways. However, a relation between different approaches has not yet been established. In this paper, frequency domain representations for nonlinear systems are uniquely connected. Specifically, by means of novel analytical results, the generalized frequency response function (GFRF) and the higher orde...

AbstractIn this paper a design approach of circular microstrip patch antenna for dual frequency operation is described. The antenna dimensions are computed from the cavity model at fundamental frequency 2.1 GHz for TM110 mode. For better performance of the antenna, coaxial probe feed technique is used for excitation. Two parallel slots and another orthogonal slot are introduced to a conventiona...
