Finite size scale invariance

Size invariance in visual object priming of gray-scale images.

The strength of visual priming of briefly presented gray-scale pictures of real-world objects, measured by reaction times and errors in naming, was independent of whether the primed picture of the object was presented in the same size as or different size from the original picture. These findings replicate results on size invariance in shape recognition, which were obtained with line drawings, ...

Size-distance invariance: kinetic invariance is different from static invariance.

The static form of the size-distance invariance hypothesis asserts that a given proximal stimulus size (visual angle) determines a unique and constant ratio of perceived object size to perceived object distance. A proposed kinetic invariance hypothesis asserts that a changing proximal stimulus size (an expanding or contracting solid visual angle) produces a constant perceived size and a changin...

Topological Invariance at Finite Temperature

We examine the thermal behavior of a theory with charged massive vector matter coupled to Chern-Simons gauge field. We obtain a critical temperature Tc, at which the effective mass of vector field vanishes, and the system transfers from a symmetry broken phase to topological phase. The phase transition is suggested to be of the zeroth order, as the free energy of the system is discontinuous at ...

Properties of Rescheduling Size Invariance

The object-code compatibility problem in VLIW architectures stems from their statically scheduled nature. Dynamic rescheduling (DR) 1] is a technique to solve the compatibility problem in VLIWs. DR reschedules program code pages at rst-time page faults i.e., when the code pages are accessed for the rst time during execution. Treating a page of code as the unit of rescheduling makes it susceptib...
