Based on a model of transverse chromatic aberration (TCA) of the eye and perceptual effects previously discussed by the same author, it was predicted that colour induced binocular depth perception (chromostereopsis) is possible from images containing red or blue along with achromatic information (grey and black); that the direction of the perceived depth from certain colours should differ for t...

Congenital spinal extradural cysts are rare and may be the cause of acute paraplegia. In their clinical features they closely resemble acute transverse myelitis. Immediate decompression of the spinal cord and removal of the cyst may lead to restoration of normal function. Myelography differentiates these two conditions by showing a cyst in communication with the spinal canal. This investigation...

Although it has been only ten years in operations, Yantian International Container Terminals Limited (YICT) has evolved as a world-class container terminal and become the first Chinese port to receive the Best Global Container Port of the Year award for 2005–2006, as well as being designated China’s best container terminal in terms of operational efficiency for 2008. A success factor of YICT is...

In this paper we generalize the method of sweeping, which may be used for both object representation and object visualization, to objects in E 4. The generalized sweeping method involves a trajectory in E 4 , and a three-dimensional cross-section orthogonal to the trajectory. Three alternatives are considered for specifying the relationship between the trajectory and the cross-section, namely t...

We calculate the distribution of transverse energy, QΩ, radiated into an arbitrary interjet angular region, Ω, in high-pT two-jet events. We find a distribution that can be extrapolated smoothly to QΩ = ΛQCD, where it vanishes. This method provides a class of predictions on transverse energy radiated between jets, as a function of jet energy and rapidity, and of the choice of the region Ω in wh...

Increasingly, universities are developing and implementing mentoring programs in an attempt to bridge the gap between classroom theory and its application in the real world. Participating in mentoring programs also allows students to develop a realistic view of the workplace, identify careers that are suitable for them and network with industry professionals. However, to date, evaluations of me...

objective: reinforcement with fiber is an effective method for considerable improvement in flexural properties of indirect composite resin restorations. the aim of this in-vitro study was to compare the transverse strength of composite resin bars reinforced with preimpregnated and non-impregnated fibers. materials and methods: thirty six bar type composite resin specimens (3×2×25 mm) were const...
