Responses of vestibular-only translation sensitive (VOTS) neurons in vestibular nuclei of two squirrel monkeys were studied at multiple frequencies to three-dimensional translations and rotations. A novel frequency-dependent spatiotemporal analysis examined in each neuron whether complex models, with unrestricted response dynamics in three-dimensional (3D) space, provided significantly better f...

AppDev Studio 2.0 provides SAS custom tags to enable quick and easy creation of Java Server Pages (JSPs) to access SAS data. However, extensive reliance on these tags limits an application’s functional and architectural options. Fortunately, AppDev Studio provides the Java classes behind these tags, allowing developers to leverage the full power of Java and object oriented methodologies such as...

although there is enough knowledge indicating on the influence of frequency content of input motion on the deformation demand of structures, state-of-the-practice seismic studies use the intensity measures such as peak ground acceleration (pga) which are not frequency dependent. the v max/a max ratio of strong ground motions can be used in seismic hazard studies as the representative of frequen...

The SCRIME 1 project is funded by the DMDTS of the French Culture Ministry, the Aquitaine Regional Council, the General Council of the Gironde Department and IDDAC of the Gironde Department. The SCRIME project is the result of a cooperation convention between the Conservatoire National de Région of Bordeaux, ENSEIRB (school of electronic and computer scientist engineers) and the University of S...

For virtual studio TV production, multi-site video conference applications using a virtual meeting room and for synthetic/natural hybrid coding according to the forthcoming ISO/MPEG-4 standard, a synthetic and a natural scene are mixed to generate a synthetic/natural hybrid image sequence. For realism, the illumination in both scenes should be identical. In this paper, the illumination of the n...

This paper describes our experience in the simulation of humanoid soccer robots using two general purposes 3D simulators, namely USARSim and Microsoft Robotics Studio. We address the problem of the simulation of a soccer match among two teams of small humanoid robots in the RoboCup Soccer Kid-Size Humanoid competitions. The paper reports the implementation of the virtual models of the Robovie-M...
