For both lateral displacement and rotation of the visual field, visual adaptation was reduced when subjects were required to perform a secondary cognitive task simultaneously with the primary exposure task of walking about hallways. Interference appeared to be independent of walking rate and occurred when the cognitive task was either mental imagery or mental arithmetic. A tentative model is pr...

The effectiveness of four road turn–out ditch treatments (vegetation, rip–rap, sediment fences, and settling basins) in reducing sediment export to the forest floor was evaluated. These four runoff control methods are commonly prescribed to control forest road runoff and sediments. The study utilized runoff samplers, runoff diversion walls, sediment filter bags, and erosion stakes to evaluate r...

PRISM is a probabilistic extension of Prolog. It is a high level language for probabilistic modeling capable of learning statistical parameters from observed data. After reviewing it from various viewpoints, we examine some technical details related to logic programming, including semantics, search and program synthesis.

The National Serology Reference Laboratory, Australia (NRL) has conducted a quality control (QC) programme for laboratories using the Abbott PRISM chemiluminescent immunoassays (PRISM; Abbott Laboratories, Wiesbaden, Germany) using an Internet-based QC monitoring program, EDCNet (https://www.nrlqa.net) since 2001. Participating blood screening laboratories tested aliquots of a low positive mult...

We propose a new type of pass-band filter, in this case designed to operate in the terahertz frequency regime, possessing two separate passbands utilizing the distinction between positive and negative refraction in a photonic crystal prism. The prism is formed from a two-dimensional hexagonal arrangement of metallic rods. In order to understand the operation of the filter we both consider the p...

In this study, we proposed a Continuous Time Markov Chain Model towards the availability of n-node clusters of Distributed Rendering System. It’s an infinite one, we formalized it, based on the model, we implemented a software, which can automatically model with PRISM language. With the tool, whenever the number of node-n and related parameters vary, we can create the PRISM model file rapidly a...

DEFINITION During the last decade, the proliferation of location-aware devices, such as GPS and smartphones, has given rise to the collection of huge amounts of moving object data in the form of finite sequences of time-stamped geographical locations. These sequences of space-time points encode (a sample of) the trajectories of moving objects. The location of the moving objects is unknown betwe...

SUMMARY PriSM is a set of algorithms designed to select and match degenerate primer pairs for the amplification of viral genomes. The design of panels of hundreds of primer pairs takes just hours using this program, compared with days using a manual approach. PriSM allows for rapid in silico optimization of primers for downstream applications such as sequencing. As a validation, PriSM was used ...

The prism over a graph G is the Cartesian product G2K2 of G with the complete graph K2. If G is hamiltonian, then G2K2 is also hamiltonian but the converse does not hold in general. Having a hamiltonian prism is shown to be an interesting relaxation of being hamiltonian. In this paper, we examine classical problems on hamiltonicity of graphs in the context of having a hamiltonian prism. c © ???...
