Studies on anticipatory planning of object manipulation showed initial task failure (i.e., object roll) when visual object shape cues are incongruent with other visual cues, such as weight distribution/density (e.g., symmetrically shaped object with an asymmetrical density). This suggests that shape cues override density cues. However, these studies typically only measured forces, with digit pl...

In 1964, Ronald Graham proved that there exist relatively prime natural numbers a and b such that the sequence {An} defined by An = An−1 +An−2 (n ≥ 2;A0 = a,A1 = b) contains no prime numbers, and constructed a 34-digit pair satisfying this condition. In 1990, Donald Knuth found a 17-digit pair satisfying the same conditions. That same year, noting an improvement to Knuth’s computation, Herbert ...

With the remarkable evolution of telecommunications as we reach the end of this century, it becomes clear that speech recognition via the telephone network will play an increasingly important role, mainly due to the widespread use of both cellular and non-cellular telephones. For many applications of speech recognition over the telephone, digit recognition is fundamental. This paper describes a...

The current study examined whether preschoolers who are low achievers (LA) on mathematical tasks benefit more from a training programme that focuses on magnitude comparisons or ANS abilities (PLUS games) compared to games that target symbolic knowledge (DIGIT games). Twenty-four preschoolers played PLUS games and 21 children played DIGIT games 3 times per week for 5 weeks. Performance scores we...

Information about medical conditions are obtained from individuals in the survey who are asked to write about their current medical condition and health history, including when their medical problems began. For each medical event (e.g., doctor visit or prescription drug purchase), individuals are asked about the medical conditions that gave rise to the event. Professional coders take the inform...

The new compact disc from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Tonal and Speech Materials for Auditory, Perceptual Assessment, Disc 2.0 (1998), contains two lists of randomly interleaved 1-, 2-, and 3-pair dichotic digits. Two experiments are reported, in which the effects of low-pass filtering and inter-digit interval on dichotic digit recognition were investigated in adult listeners with norma...

Since the ratio of the second-to-fourth finger length was first proposed as a marker for prenatal androgen action in 1998, over 100 studies have been published that have either further tested the association between the digit ratio and prenatal androgens, or employed digit ratios as a marker to investigate the association between prenatal androgens and a variety of outcomes, including behavior,...

This paper introduces a novel deep learning architecture, named DIGITNET, and large-scale digit dataset, DIDA, to detect recognize handwritten digits in historical document images written the nineteen century. To generate DIDA are collected from 100,000 Swedish images, which were by different priests with handwriting styles. dataset contains three sub-datasets including single digit, bounding b...

Background: Airport workers are continuously exposed to different levels of radiofrequency microwave (RF/MW) radiation emitted by radar equipments. Radars are extensively used in military and aviation industries. Over the past several years, our lab has focused on the health effects of exposure to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as cellular phones, mobile base stations, mobile ...
