Chromatic assimilation is the shift in color appearance of a test field toward the appearance of nearby light. Possible explanations of chromatic assimilation include wavelength independent spread light, wavelength-dependent chromatic aberration and neural summation. This study evaluated these explanations by measuring chromatic assimilation from a concentric-ring pattern into an equal-energy-w...

The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation plays an important role as a low-dimensional prototype for complicated fluid dynamics systems having been studied due to its chaotic pattern forming behavior. Up to now, efforts to carry out data assimilation with this 1-d model were restricted to variational adjoint methods domain and only Chorin and Krause [26] tested it using a sequential Bayesian filter app...

the values of fourteen carbohydrates assimilation patterns were investigated for typical and atypical strains of microsporum canis. thiry eight strains of typical and twenty two strains of atypical microsporum canis, microsporum canis ncpf 352 and one microsporum distortum were included in this study. statistical analysis of the results indicated that despite limited variations within the patte...

The efficient aquisition of nutrients from leaves by insect herbivores increases their nutrient assimilation rates and overall fitness. Caterpillars of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) have high protein assimilation efficiencies (PAE) from the immature leaves of trees such as red oak (Quercus rubra) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum) (71–81%) but significantly lower PAE from their mature leav...

The impact of dark NH(4) (+) and NO(3) (-) assimilation on photosynthetic light harvesting capability of the green alga Selenastrum minutum was monitored by chlorophyll a fluorescence analysis. When cells assimilated NH(4) (+), they exhibited a large decline in the variable fluorescence/maximum fluorescence ratio, the fluorescence yield of photosystem II relative to that of photosystem I at 77 ...

The present article investigates the stress pattern system of Central Sarawani Balochi (CSB), spoken in Sarawan located in Sistan and Baluchestan province of the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on metrical theory as developed in Hayes (1995). Correspondingly, the present research illustrates the position of primary and secondary stress in mono-morphemic words, verbal paradigms, compound words, ...

Models of the perception of phonologically variant speech differ in the extent to which contextual information is used predictively versus regressively. These temporal disparities reflect similar differences in the experimental literature on the perception of English place assimilation (in which for example the place of the /n/ in lean bacon takes on the bilabial place of articulation of the fo...

Four experiments found that positive and negative affect dictated whether primed social categories and trait concepts led to assimilation or contrast. This influence was further found to be flexibly responsive to the momentary activation of a global or local focus. When a global focus was dominant, positive affect resulted in assimilation to primed traits and social categories, and negative aff...

Most previously used measures of immigrant labor market assimilation will be biased if there is non-random emigration of immigrants. We use longitudinal data on immigration to Sweden 1970-1990 to examine the extent and pattern of immigrant emigration and its consequences for measures of assimilation. Large fractions of the immigrants leave the host country shortly after arrival; within five yea...
