We examined the relationship between subcomponents of embodiment and multisensory integration using a mirror box illusion. The participants' left hand was positioned against the mirror, while their right hidden hand was positioned 12″, 6″, or 0″ from the mirror - creating a conflict between visual and proprioceptive estimates of limb position in some conditions. After synchronous tapping, async...

We apply the symmetric composition method for the integration of ordinary diierential equations to dynamical neural networks. In this method, we split the vector eld, which is parameterized by a neural network, into the contribution of each of its neurons. We then solve the elementary diierential equation associated to each neuron separately , and recombine these contributions in a sequence of ...

Abstract This article studies the integration of Hidden Champions – little-known highly innovative global market leaders in rural regional innovation systems (RIS) Germany. These firms are analyzed relation to their into a RIS framework, which differentiates two subsystems: knowledge generation and diffusion, application exploitation. The relevance firm-internal firm-external influencing factor...

Research on income inequality and finance has become an increasingly popular research area in the post-crisis period. Fully modified (FMOLS) dynamic OLS (DOLS) co-integrated regression models are employed to empirically explore estimate long run co-integration vector for non-stationary panels between 2000 2016. The study finds that a NMS-11 with relatively lower integrated international financi...

We are interested in methods for building more intelligent cognitive vision systems in our ActIPret project. The aim of this project is understanding the activities of expert operators for teaching and education. Our approach is to learn models for the components and later the task and context of the visual processing in the ActIPret system. The paper first introduces general issues and some ap...

We describe an improved method of integrating audio and visual information in a HMM-based audiovisual ASR system. The method uses a modi ed semicontinuous HMM (SCHMM) for integration and recognition. Our results show substantial improvements over earlier integration methods at high noise levels. Our integration method relies on the assumption that, as environmental conditions deviate from those...

This paper examines co-integration and the causal relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the economic output or Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the both short and long run of Bangladesh, Pakistan and India over the period of 1972-2008. Three econometric models, viz. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, Engle-Granger two-step co-integration test, Vector error correction mechanis...

The article examines theoretical benefits and potentials of the formation of economic integration among the Muslim World. The degree of economic integration has often been used as a gauge of the success of economic moderate and structural adjustment policies. The Muslim World, as it stands today, is characterized by paradoxes and contradictions. Formation of economic integration among Muslim co...
