This study concerns itself with the analysis of “Beachy Head” by Smith from respect prevalent contradicting forces such as Nature and culture or historical time mythical past in poem. The long narrative structure poem enables to present different voices reflecting poet’s ideological stance towards contemporary issues her exemplifies excluding attitude ones representing Neoclassical values. stud...

Modeling has been created for a " Space-to-Surface " system defined for an optimal trajectory for targeting in terminal phase with avoids an intercepting process. The modeling includes models for simulation atmosphere, speed of sound, aerodynamic flight and navigation by an infrared system. The modeling and simulation includes statistical analysis of the modeling results. Aerospace CyberResearc...

A head-space gas chromatographic technique for the analysis of volatile bacterial metabolites is described. Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium perfringens, and Propionibacterium acnes, cultured in a glucose-containing peptone yeast extract medium, were studied. The head-space technique was compared with the injection of the complete liquid culture medium, and solvent extracts thereof, into the g...

A method for the determining the amount of carbon monoxide (CO) in blood is described. CO bound to hemoglobin is released with potassium ferricyanide into a known volume of head space of a disposable syringe. Vapor in the head space is withdrawn with a gastight microcyringe and injected into the gas chromatograph. CO dissolved in saturated blood is also measured by head space analysis to ascert...

We present a new scheme to robustly detect a type of human attentive behavior, which we call frequent change in focus of attention (FCFA), from video sequences. FCFA behavior can be easily perceived by people as temporal changes of human head pose (normally the pan angle). For recognition of this behavior by computer, we propose an algorithm to estimate the head pan angle in each frame of the s...

In this paper we introduce our life-size talking head robotic system, Mask-bot, developed to support human-robot communication research. The physical system consists of a semitransparent face mask, a portable LED projector with a fish-eye conversion lens, a pan-tilt unit and a mounting base. Mask-bot uses the mask as a screen for a talking head animation engine that is broadcast from the projec...

Eight participants were presented with auditory or visual targets and then indicated the target's remembered positions relative to their head eight seconds after actively moving their eyes, head or body to pull apart head, retinal, body, and external space reference frames. Remembered target position was indicated by repositioning sounds or lights. Localization errors were found related to head...

Current theories of eye-head gaze shifts deal only with one-dimensional motion, and do not touch on three-dimensional (3-D) issues such as curvature and Donders' laws. I show that recent 3-D data can be explained by a model based on ideas that are well established from one-dimensional studies, with just one new assumption: that the eye is driven toward a 3-D orientation in space that has been c...
