We administered map-reading tasks in which participants navigated an array of marks on the floor by following paths on hand-held maps that made up to nine turns. The burden on memory was minimal because the map was always available. Nevertheless, because the map was held in a fixed position in relation to the body, spatial computations were continually needed to transform map coordinates into g...

Spontaneous fluctuations in Heart Period (HP) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) make it possible to evaluate baroreceptor-heart rate reflex sensitivity (BRS). 30-s sequences of HP and MAP beat-to-beat values were considered in the different wake-sleep states (Wake, W; Quiet Sleep, QS; Active Sleep, AS) in rats to assess whether 1) BRS changes between states and 2) the different indexes supply co...

activity corresponding to a series of shuttle runs across a square arena, heteroassociative connections between activated place cells become potentiated, cells with overlapping place fields develop strong bidirectional connections and asymmetric connections between cells against the direction of motion become depressed. The elevated connectivity of the activated ensemble resembles the broad dev...

For intercity highway with many branches, the video data for each monitoring node is very large and it is unlikely to fuse these data without time synchronization. In this paper an object-based video reconstruction approach is presented for route-oriented tasks of intercity highway monitoring with many branches using low cost distributed video capturing devices installed on the roadside posts. ...

The Water Department will open fire hydrants to flush out sediment that has collected in the water mains during the past year. This flushing program is a standard operating procedure for water departments. Flushing the mains may cause some slight but temporary reduction in water pressure and possible water discoloration. However, your water remains safe for drinking. We suggest you refrain from...

Faults are the most critical tectonic factors in geological structures, which have major economic impacts on mining economics. Thus it is necessary to understand faults in order to identify the actual risks and complications associated with mining. In the preliminary investigation of the Sonda-Jherruck coalfield, 3D geological modeling was not performed. The purpose of this work was to perform ...

Recently there has been much interest in the Liouville type theorems for harmonic maps. For a detailed survey and progress in this direction, see the works by Hildebrandt [4], Eells and Lemaire [2]. Here we would like to mention that for all known results, the conditions on the harmonic maps can be divided into two kinds. The first of these conditions concerns the finiteness of the energy of th...

The Lattice of a Self-Organizing Map can be considered as an ”elastic network” that is fitted into the data space. The network is non-linear but locally the non-linear surface can be approximated by a linear hyperplane. This property could be utilized to visualize the direction of the network at any location of the map, by fitting a surface to the model vectors of the neighbors of a node and vi...

Projects focusing on spatio-temporal modelling of the living environment need to manage a wide range of terrain measurements, existing spatial data, time series, results of spatial analysis and inputs/outputs from numerical simulations. Thus, GISs are often used to manage data from remote sensors, to provide advanced spatial analysis and to integrate numerical models. In order to demonstrate th...
