This paper evaluates and ranks the temporal dimensions, known as fourth dimension of urban design, of a number of places in a city by TOPSIS method. TOPSIS method is technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution. TOPSIS is one of the renowned methods for classical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems that defines the positive ideal solution and negative ideal solution...

Humans prioritize different semantic qualities of a complex stimulus depending on their behavioral goals. These semantic features are encoded in distributed neural populations, yet it is unclear how attention might operate across these distributed representations. To address this, we presented participants with naturalistic video clips of animals behaving in their natural environments while the...

It is widely assumed that distributed bell-shaped tuning (e.g. Radial Basis functions) characterizes the shape selectivity of macaque inferior temporal (IT) neurons, analogous to the orientation or spatial frequency tuning found in early visual cortex. Demonstrating such tuning properties requires testing the responses of neurons for different values along dimensions of shape. We recorded the r...

Primates can learn to categorize complex shapes, but as yet it is unclear how this categorization learning affects the representation of shape in visual cortex. Previous studies that have examined the effect of categorization learning on shape representation in the macaque inferior temporal (IT) cortex have produced diverse and conflicting results that are difficult to interpret owing to inadeq...

Integrating spatial and temporal dimensions is a fundamental yet challenging issue in modeling geospatial data. This article presents the design of a generic model within the object-oriented paradigm to represent spatially-varying, temporally-varying, and spatio-temporally-varying information using a mechanism, called parametric polymorphism. This mechanism allows a conventional data type (e.g....

This paper presents speciications of systolic algorithms in a parallel functional language SysLucid. The language extends conventional functional languages by allowing meanings of program elements, such as variables or expressions , to vary in a context space consisting of temporal and spatial dimensions. In specifying systolic algorithms, the spatial dimensions represent the processor coordina...
