Flicker modulation sensitivity measurements made on high intensity orange steady backgrounds indicate that signals from short-wavelength sensitive cones (S-cones) have access to two pathways. At low S-cone adaptation levels the frequency response falls quickly with increasing frequency, but at higher adaptation levels it extends to much higher frequencies. At these higher S-cone adaptation leve...

To understand the role of primary visual cortex (V1) in color vision, we measured directly the input from the 3 cone types in macaque V1 neurons. Cells were classified as luminance-preferring, color-luminance, or color-preferring from the ratio of the peak amplitudes of spatial frequency responses to red/green equiluminant and to black/white (luminance) grating patterns, respectively. In this s...

In this paper, we define the almost uniform convergence and the almost everywhere convergence for cone-valued functions with respect to an operator valued measure. We prove the Egoroff theorem for Pvalued functions and operator valued measure θ : R → L(P, Q), where R is a σ-ring of subsets of X≠ ∅, (P, V) is a quasi-full locally convex cone and (Q, W) is a locally ...

in this paper, we first present a new important property for bouligand tangent cone (contingent cone) of a star-shaped set. we then establish optimality conditions for pareto minima and proper ideal efficiencies in nonsmooth vector optimization problems by means of bouligand tangent cone of image set, where the objective is generalized cone convex set-valued map, in general real normed spaces.

Several geological features, including sedimentary cone-in-cone structures and percussion marks, may resemble impact-generated shatter cones. Especially inexperienced workers may mistake such features for impact deformation. In 1997, our group investigated an alleged occurrence of shatter cones in the Hamada area of southeastern Morocco and found that these are actually cone-in-cone structures,...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphologic surface of gutta­percha cones after cutting with different methods. materials and methods: the apical 3 millimeters of forty standardized, gutta-percha cones size 40 were cut off using scissors or a scalpel against a glass slab. the samples were then examined under scanning electron microscopy (sem) for topographic deformit...

An electroretinographic response of the human short wavelength (S) cone system can be distinguished from that of the longer wavelength (L or M) cone system by using ganzfeld short-wavelength stimulation at relatively high levels of retinal adaptation. The S cone response has both an a- and b-wave component in its ERG, both of which are slower than those of the L or M cone response at the same l...

this paper presents conditions for the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a boundary value problem of a nonlinear fractional differential equation. we show that it has at least one or two positive solutions. the main tool is krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem on cone and fixed point index theory.
