The structure of human disparity representation is examined through (i) adaptation experiments and (ii) model simulations of the data. Section 3 presents results of adaptation experiments designed to illuminate the structure of human disparity representation. Section 4 presents model simulations of three different disparity representation schemes. In the experiments, participants adapted to a 0...

E. L. Resler, Jr. Sibley School ol Mechanica l and Aerospace Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 The wa~•e roror is a promising means of pressure-gain for gas turbine engines. This paper examines novel wave rotor topping cycles that incorporate low-NO,, combustion straregies. This approach combines two-s rage ''rich-quench-lean'· ( RQL) combustion with inrermediate expansion in th...

In this paper we consider a single machine system that produces items part of which are defective. The defective items produced in a time period, consisting of several equal cycles, are accumulated and are all reworked in the last cycle of this period called the rework cycle. At the end of the rework cycle the whole process will start all over again. The first significant objective of this stud...

abstract: minimizing the work consumed in refrigeration system is the most effective measure to reduce the cost of products in sub-ambient chemical processes. the introduction of mixed working fluids into refrigeration system in place of pure working fluids is a recent advancement applied in the field. due to the lack of systematic design method for mixed refrigerant cycle (mrc), conventional a...

this paper aims at studying a trigeneration system, based on an internal combustion engine and a steam ejector refrigeration system. the designed cycle is to generate cooling and heating energies, and supply power simultaneously. the cycle is studied from thermodynamics point of view and for this purpose, the first law of thermodynamics is applied to all components of the cycle. the efficiency ...

The Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) cyclotron cascade system has been operated to provide high quality beams for various experiments. In order to increase the physics research opportunities, the Azimuthally Varying Field (AVF) cyclotron facility was upgraded recently. A flat-topping system and an 18-GHz superconducting Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source were introduced to ...

The focus here is on learning by school-age children, assisted by the family and/ or peers, and supported and managed by professional teachers. Keith Topping, who specialises in researching paired learning, provides an outline of the essential concepts of peer-assisted and parent-assisted learning, followed by discussion of some specific practical evidence of its use in reading, writing, spelli...
