A stationary stimulus is perceived to drift in the opposite direction after adaptation to a moving stimulus (static motion aftereffect (MAE)). It is commonly assumed that positional effects from the static motion aftereffect are mediated by early visual areas. Here we psychophysically showed that these positional effects did not modulate illusory line-tilt aftereffect (TAE). Since illusory cont...

List of Tables Table 1 Advantages and disadvantages of sediment toxicity tests (modified from ASTM 2003a). Table 2 Rating of selection criteria for estuarine or marine amphipod sediment toxicity testing (ASTM 2003a). Table 3 Comparison of habitat characteristics and other life history parameters of four estuarine or marine amphipod species used in sediment toxicity tests (ASTM Table 4 Recommend...

Purpose Tilt table testing mainly evaluates the systemic cardiovascular part of the autonomic nervous system, while it is assumed that the finger wrinkling test assesses the peripheral part of the autonomic nervous system. In this study we explored whether the finger wrinkling test could be a useful test for autonomic dysfunction and whether the clinical evaluation of wrinkling can be improved ...

Color space transformation using a 3D lookup table (LUT) with interpolation is used to correlate the source and destination color values in the lattice points of a 3D table, where nonlattice points are interpolated by using the nearest lattice points. This method has been used in many applications with quite satisfactory results, and incorporated into the ICC profile standard.1 In this chapter,...

A unified approach to unwarping of omni-images into panoramic or perspective-view images is proposed. The approach does not adopt the conventional technique of calibrating the related parameters of an omni-camera. Instead, it is based on a new concept of a pano-mapping table, which is created once forever, by a simple learning process for an omni-camera of any kind, as a summary of the informat...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to validate critical frequency specific test (critf) for the estimation of the aerobic endurance in table tennis players. METHODS Eight male international-level table tennis players participated of this study. Specific tests were applied by using a mechanical ball thrower to control the intensity of the exercise. The critf was determined by applying three ...

The objective of this study is to investigate the subject of birth preparedness and complication readiness to tackle the obstetric complications. Birth preparedness and complication readiness is studied based on husband’s response. Emergency birth preparedness has been promoted to address delays in seeking skilled care at birth. However, little evidence is available for birth preparedness and i...

The aim of the present study was to verify the applicability of anaerobic work capacity (AWC) determined from the critical power model in elite table tennis players. Eight male international level table tennis players participated in the study. The tests undertaken were: 1) A critical frequency test used to determinate the anaerobic work capacity; 2) Wingate tests were performed using leg and a...
