We propose a two-layer neuromorphic architecture by which motion field pattern, generated during locomotion, are processed by template detectors specialized for gaze-directed self-motion (expansion and rotation). The templates provide a gaze-centered computation for analyzing motion field in terms of how it is related to the fixation point (i.e., the fovea). The analysis is performed by relatin...

The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions predicts that positive emotions broaden the scopes of attention and cognition, and, by consequence, initiate upward spirals toward increasing emotional well-being. The present study assessed this prediction by testing whether positive affect and broad-minded coping reciprocally and prospectively predict one another. One hundred thirty-eight coll...

We study experimentally the relationship between distributional preferences and competitive behavior. We find that spiteful subjects react strongest to competitive pressure and win in a tournament significantly more often than efficiency-minded and inequality averse subjects. However, when given the choice between a tournament and a piece rate scheme, efficiency-minded subjects choose the tourn...

Abstract Going forward, international elites should instead strive for the application of one most liberal-minded principles this current world order: self-determination.

Recently, we obtained a new characterization for an orthogonal system to be simple-minded in the stable module category of any representation-finite self-injective algebra. In this paper, apply result give explicit construction s

this correlational study focused on formal organizations' administrative performance values. it examined the managers' (unit supervisors') employee performance appraisal process in relation to sex and personality differences among unit supervisors in tehran, shahid beheshti and iran medical sciences university hospitals (tehran, 1996). first 537 male and female managers performin...
