Thresholds were measured for five tasks: line detection, intensity discrimination, two-line resolution, vernier acuity and line-orientation discrimination. For each task, 30 arcmin lines were presented foveally in eight retinal meridians to assess similarities in orientation anisotropies across tasks in the same observer. Three observers were tested. The pattern of the orientation anisotropy di...

This paper examines the influences of cultural diversity in the top management team (TMT) on organizational performance. The link between the two is investigated through the path dependency model, where firm ambidextrous orientation serves an intervening role. The results of the study suggest that TMT cultural diversity will have a negative influence on firm performance due to the decreasing de...

Introduction: An orientation dependency of T2*-weighted images at high field strengths was described in recent publications. Wiggins et al. [1] first demonstrated a direct change in the intensity of the Corpus Callosum and the Cingulum when tilting the head and Cherubini et al. [2] demonstrated a relationship between R2* and main fiber direction when comparing R2*-maps with DTI data and suggest...

In this study, we examined the orientation dependency of spatial representations following various learning conditions. We assessed the spatial representations of human participants after they had learned a complex spatial layout via map learning, via navigating within a real environment, or via navigating through a virtual simulation of that environment. Performances were compared between cond...

Introduction and Purpose. Information about myelin can be obtained indirectly from magnetization-transfer (MT) experiments . Quantification of MT imaging has been done by many researchers using a two-pool (binary spin-bath) model consisting of a free water pool “a” and a semi-solid, macromolecular pool “b” . Integral part of this model is a lineshape describing the absorption probability of the...
