In this work we introduce symbolic knowledge representation and reasoning capabilities to enrich perceptual anchoring. The idea that encompasses perceptual anchoring is, the creation and maintenance of a connection between the symbolic and perceptual description that refer to the same object in the environment. However, without higher level reasoning, perceptual anchoring is still limited. Henc...

Many applications of next-generation sequencing technologies involve anchoring of a sequence fragment or a tag onto a corresponding position on a reference genome assembly. Positional Hashing method, implemented in the Pash 2.0 program, is specifically designed for the task of high-volume anchoring. In this article we present multi-diagonal gapped kmer collation and other improvements introduce...

We develop an equivalence between the equilibrium effects of incomplete information and those two behavioral distortions: myopia, or extra discounting future; anchoring current behavior to past behavior, as in models with habit persistence adjustment costs. show how these distortions depend on higher-order beliefs GE mechanisms, they can be disciplined by evidence expectations. finally illustra...

In the study of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) alignment layers for liquid crystal devices, we found that the anchoring strength can be greatly varied by changing the alignment film thickness. Both the polar and azimuthal anchoring strengths increased with increasing film thickness; however, they had different film thickness dependences. It was also noticed that the quartic term in the expansion of th...

We consider director configurations of cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) cells with two plane confining substrates. Exact solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations for out-of-plane orientations of the easy axes that correspond to inhomogeneous conical structures of CLC director are derived. We study dependence of the CLC twist wavenumber on the free twisting number assuming that anchoring energi...
