We performed the first large-scale (n = 501), quantitative study of horizontal disparity tuning in the middle temporal (MT) visual area of alert, fixating macaque monkeys. Using random-dot stereograms, we quantified the direction tuning, speed tuning, horizontal disparity tuning, and size tuning of each neuron. The vast majority (93%) of MT neurons were significantly tuned for horizontal dispar...

Territorial inequalities have long been a subject of study and concern in Canada. In the face large structural changes such as industrial shifts decarbonization our economies, there is an urgency to understand design effective policy interventions for those places facing persistent economic decline. This paper shares novel composite index that measures disparity across Canadian Census Subdivisi...

In 2015, black women represented 61% of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnoses among women (1). HIV diagnosis rates among women declined during 2010-2014 (1); however, whether the decline resulted in a decrease in the disparities between black women and Hispanic and white women was unknown. To assess whether a change in disparities occurred, CDC used three different measures of disparity:...

ÐThis paper presents a stereo algorithm for obtaining disparity maps with occlusion explicitly detected. To produce smooth and detailed disparity maps, two assumptions that were originally proposed by Marr and Poggio are adopted: uniqueness and continuity. That is, the disparity maps have a unique value per pixel and are continuous almost everywhere. These assumptions are enforced within a thre...

purpose: to compare the refractive results of penetrating keratoplasty (pk) in two groups of patients with keratoconus undergoing corneal grafting with different amounts of donor-recipient disparity (0.25 and 0.5 mm). methods: as a randomized clinical trial and after performing a complete ocular examination and vitreous length measurement, 30 patients with keratoconus were randomly assigned in ...
