Since judgment of geographical slant requires the use of both optical and postural information, such judgments were used to determine whether intermodal relationships affect children’s perception. First, third, and fifth graders made judgments of geographical slant of surfaces depicted in photographs either with or without postural inclination. The results indicate the existence of a linear mec...

for providing the VR{models used in this experiments. The authors thank Pavel Zahorik for comments and suggestions on an earlier draft of this manuscript. We are grateful to Scott Yu for providing the 3D model of our virtual environments lab shown in Fig. 1. Abstract. We have investigated the role of geographical slant in simple navigation and spatial memory tasks, using a computer graphics tow...

In this paper, we study radical transversal lightlike submanifolds and screen slant radical transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite para-Sasakian manifolds giving some non-trivial examples of these submanifolds. Integrability conditions of distributions D and RadTM on radical transversal lightlike submanifolds and screen slant radical transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite pa...

Inclined curves or so-called general helices are well-known curves in the classical differential geometry of space curves [9] and we refer to the reader for recent works on this type of curves [6, 12]. Recently, Izumiya and Takeuchi have introduced the concept of slant helix in Euclidean 3-space E saying that the normal lines makes a constant angle with a fixed direction [7]. They characterize ...

We consider a curve α = α(s) in Minkowski 3-space E31 and denote by {T,N,B} the Frenet frame of α. We say that α is a slant helix if there exists a fixed direction U of E31 such that the function 〈N(s), U〉 is constant. In this work we give characterizations of slant helices in terms of the curvature and torsion of α. MSC: 53C40, 53C50

Purpose Bi-slant submanifolds of S -manifolds are introduced, and some examples these presented. Design/methodology/approach Some properties D i -geodesic -umbilical bi-slant examined. Findings The Riemannian curvature invariants computed, results discussed with the help invariants. Originality/value topic is original, manuscript has not been submitted to any other journal.

Motion parallax provides cues to the three-dimensional layout of a viewed scene and, in particular, to surface tilt and slant. For example, as a textured surface, inclined around a horizontal axis, translates horizontally relative to an observer's view point, then, in the absence of head and eye movements, the observer's retinal flow will contain a one-dimensional (1D) vertical speed gradient. ...

TABLE B.I PRESENTS THE QUANTITIES shown in Table IV of the paper for a series of alternative model specifications. For comparison, Table B.I first reports the results in Table IV as the baseline. The first specification in Table B.I allows each zip code to contribute differently to a newspaper’s profits, as discussed in Section 4.3. We use crossnewspaper variation in ad rates to estimate the ap...

The biomechanical benefits (e.g., muscular activity) of slanted ergonomic mice have been comprehensively identified; however, their effects on task performance and subjective responses have not been fully investigated. The present study examined the effects of two slanted mice (slant angle = 30° and 50°) in comparison with a conventional mouse (slant angle = 0°) in terms of task performance (ta...
