Determining the Internal Consistency of Attitude Attributions

In the attitude attribution paradigm, observers must estimate the true attitude of an author who was assigned to advocate a particular position. Observers’ tendency to attribute an attitude in line with the expressed position despite its having been assigned is called the correspondence bias. While there is strong evidence that such attributions are externally invalid, it is less clear whether ...

Determining Object Attitude from Extended Gaussian Images

The Extended Gaussian Image (EGI) of an object records the variation of surface area with surface orientation, uniquely representing convex objects. The inversion problem for polyhedra (from an EGI to a description in terms of vertices and faces) has been solved, by an iterative algorithm [Little, 1983]. The algorithm depends upon the mixed volume, a geometric construction linking the areas and...

Small company attitude towards ICT based solutions: some key-elements to improve it

In this paper we illustrate some research results concerning the attitude of small companies towards ICT based solutions (specifically Distance Communication, Training and Consultancy); in addition, we introduce some key-elements to overtake the obstacles to introducing ICT in small companies for new business processes; amongst others, we highlight the need for training about technological inno...

Matrix Transformations for ' Spacecraft Attitude

A common problem for experimental space physicists is the determination of the "attitude matrix" T which transforms vectors between representations in X and Xl coordinate systems according to Vx = TXX' VXI. Solution of this problem using the standard Eulerian angle techniques is in general tedious and circuitous. A straightforward, simple, and efficient solution for the transformation matrix is...
