Bisection thresholds are approximately proportional to the separation/eccentricity of the targets. This "Weber's law" for position has been invoked over the past century. It is the separation of the reference targets, or their eccentricity which determines the threshold? In previous studies separation and eccentricity are confounded. In the present report we have pitted separation against eccen...

Recently we reported that the topographic organization of visual field eccentricity in human visual cortex extends into high-order, ventral occipitotemporal (VOT) cortex. Within this cortex, regions that respond preferentially to faces and buildings have specific eccentricity biases, suggesting that this category-eccentricity association may reflect differential needs of recognition processes. ...

Ensuring the reliability of electrical equipment in agriculture remains an urgent problem, since rugged operating conditions and aggressive environment hinder its rational use. The high accident incidence rate asynchronous motors most cases is invariably caused by failure inter-turn insulation interphase short circuit or circuits to housing. probability emergency situation increases with increa...

We study the dynamics of a solar-type star orbiting around black hole binary (BHB) in nearly coplanar system. present novel effect that can prompt growth and significant oscillations eccentricity stellar orbit when system encounters an ``apsidal precession resonance,'' where apsidal rate outer matches inner BHB. The excitation requires to have nonzero unequal masses, be created even noncoplanar...

Inhibition of return (IOR) as an indicator of attentional control is characterized by an eccentricity effect, that is, the more peripheral visual field shows a stronger IOR magnitude relative to the perifoveal visual field. However, it could be argued that this eccentricity effect may not be an attention effect, but due to cortical magnification. To test this possibility, we examined this eccen...

This paper presents a method for diagnosis of eccentricity fault in a switched-reluctance motor (SRM) during offline and standstill modes. In this method, the fault signature is differential induced voltage (DIV) achieved by injecting diagnostic pulses to the motor windings. It will be demonstrated by means of results that there is a correlation between differential induced voltage and eccentri...

We present a search for gravitational waves from subsolar mass compact-binary mergers that allows nonnegligible orbital eccentricity. Subsolar black holes are signature of primordial origin holes, which may be component dark matter. To produce binary coalescences, form close binaries either in the early universe or more recently through dynamical interactions. A formation would observation nonc...

Elastic stability of ring and stringer-stiffened cylindrical shells under axial, internal and external pressures is studied using Ritz method. The stiffeners are rings, stringers and their different arrangements at the inner and outer surfaces of the shell. Critical buckling loads are obtained using Ritz method. It has been found that the cylindrical shells with outside rings are more stable th...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is known to be the world-leading cereal grain and the most important food in the world of agriculture.  Wheat offers a great wealth of material for genetic studies due to its wide ecological distribution and host of variation for various morphological and physiological characters.  To evaluate the genetic control of physical traits of grain in two crosses of winter ...
