We construct a new index of media slant that measures whether a news outlet’s language is more similar to a congressional Republican or Democrat. We apply the measure to study the market forces that determine political content in the news. We estimate a model of newspaper demand that incorporates slant explicitly, estimate the slant that would be chosen if newspapers independently maximized the...

statement of problem: t-loop is one of the most popular closing loops in orthodontic profession. however its activation is in the contrary to bouschinger effect theory, since the formed bends would be opened during activation. the purpose of this study was to add a helix in a way to be more respondent to the bouschinger effect theory. objectives: to compare the load deflection, maximal elastic ...

PURPOSE This work is a preliminary study of a stationary cardiac SPECT system. The goal of this research is to propose a stationary cardiac SPECT system using segmented slant-hole collimators and to perform computer simulations to test the feasibility. Compared to the rotational SPECT, a stationary system has a benefit of acquiring temporally consistent projections. The most challenging issue i...

A slant immersion is an isometric immersion from a Riemannian manifold into an almost Hermitian manifold with constant Wirtinger angle (1~ . In this article we study and characterize slant surfaces in the complex 2-plane ~2 via the Gauss map. We also prove that every surface without complex tangent points in a 4-dimensional almost Hermitian manifold M is slant with respect to a suitably chosen ...

Koffka's (1935, pp. 224-235) explanation of shape-constancy is based on the assumption of an invariant linkage between slant and shape. Koffka's hypothesis has been formulated in the following way by Beck and Gibson (1955): "A retinal projection of a given form determines a unique relation of apparent shape to apparent slant" (p. 126). The invariance hypothesis requires that perceived shape var...

The results of several experiments demonstrate that the estimated magnitude of perceived slant of large stereoscopic surfaces increases with the duration of the presentation. In these experiments, subjects were free to make eye movements. A possible explanation for the increase is that the visual system needs to scan the stimulus with eye movements (which take time) before it can make a reliabl...
