چکیده

A current debate exists as to whether locomotion on foot is guided by optic flow (the apparent motion of the world when the subject is moving) [1–4] or perceived direction [5]. Rushton et al. [5] have shown that the path taken by a participant wearing prism spectacles is described reasonably by a model predicting trajectory from visual direction. We repeated Rushton et al.’s [5] experiment but manipulated the amount of additional information available. Our experiment involved participants walking directly to a target from a starting position 23 m away while wearing 6.84° prism glasses. Participants were instructed to walk directly to the target at a brisk pace. The participants were naïve to the purpose of the experiment and did not observe the trajectory of others before walking themselves. The amount of available information was manipulated in three viewing conditions: reduced cue (n = 8), in which the target was viewed monocularly through a small aperture prism with a 10° field of view over a grass ground plane; intermediate cue (n = 24), in which the target was viewed binocularly through a 35° field of view prism over a grass ground plane with randomly distributed brown markings, and the presence of surrounding buildings; and rich cue (n = 16), in which binocular prisms with an essentially unrestricted field Magazine R545

Splits ends is a tissue/promoter specific regulator of Wingless signaling.

Wingless directs many developmental processes in Drosophila by regulating expression of specific target genes through a conserved signaling pathway. Although many nuclear factors have been implicated in mediating Wingless-induced transcription, the mechanism of how Wingless regulates different targets in different tissues remains poorly understood. We report here that the split ends gene is req...

Performance and Reliability Degradation of a Residential Unitary Air Conditioning System Resulting from a Mismatch of a 1992 Air Conditioning Unit with a 15-20 Year Old Evaporator

Fred Keller Split Systems Director The National Appliance Energy Conservation Act has established a minimum efficiency of 10 SEER for residential split system air conditioners and heat pumps. Approximately 50% of residential split system air conditioners are sold as replacements for units having much lower SEER levels, typically 5-9 Btu/W·h. This investigation assessed the detrimental affects t...

Qualitative and quantitative study of water obtained from condensate atmosphere humidity in Bandar Abbas air conditioners

Introduction: Earth's atmosphere contains billion cubic meters of fresh water, which is considerable as a reliable water resource, especially insultry areas. What is important in this context, how to extract the water, in an economic manner. In order to extract water from air conditioner, no need to spend any cost, because water produced as a by-product and trouble production. The aim of study ...

Evaluation of Evaporative Cooling for Heat Transfer in the Condenser of Window-Air Conditioners

There is a demand for reduced power consumption in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle. Coefficient of performance of window-air conditioners considerably decreases and power consumption increases under very hot conditions. These problems have encouragecl studies aimed at improving the performance of window-air-conditioners by enhancing the heat transfer rate in the condenser. In this ar...

Assuring Reliability of Compressors Using HFC Refrigerants

In Japan, the refrigerant used in room air-conditioners has been changed from HCFC-22 (R-22) to R-410A, a blend of HFC-32 and HFC-125 (50/50 vt%), in order to protect the ozone layer. Generally, the miscibility between the refrigerant and refrigeration oil must be assured, because the oil needs to return to the compressor from the refrigeration cycle and lubricate the sliding parts. Alternative...
