Vision in the fovea, the center of the visual field, is much more accurate and detailed than vision in the periphery. This is not in line with the rich phenomenology of peripheral vision. Here, we investigated a visual illusion that shows that detailed peripheral visual experience is partially based on a reconstruction of reality. Participants fixated on the center of a visual display in which ...

The electrical method of eye movement recording (EOG) was used to study the reactions of the eyes when subjects attempted to fixate as quickly as possible on light stimuli appearing at various points along the horizontal plane. Each eye was recorded separately, allowing an assessment of the degree of independence of the eyes when reacting in this way. In addition to the data concerning latency ...

We consider one- and two-dimensional (1D 2D) optical or matter-wave media with a maximum of the local self-repulsion strength at center, minimum periphery. If central area is broad enough, it supports ground states in form flat-floor \textquotedblleft bubbles", topological excitations, dark solitons 1D vortices winding number $m$ 2D. Unlike bright solitons, delocalized bubbles modes were not pr...

We are studying the functional "logic" of neuromodulatory actions in a simple central pattern generator (CPG)-effector system, the heart of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus. The rhythmic contractions of this heart are neurogenic, driven by rhythmic motor patterns generated by the cardiac ganglion (CG). Here we used anatomical and physiological methods to examine the sources and actions on the ...

We studied the role of active deformation dynamics in cell nuclei in chromatin positioning. Model chains containing two types of regions, with high (euchromatic) or low (heterochromatic) mobility, were confined in a pulsating container simulating a nucleus showing dynamic deformations. Brownian dynamic simulations show that the positioning of low mobility regions changes from sites near the per...

Carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation (CASTLE) is a rare tumor that occurs in the soft tissue of the neck or in the thyroid gland. We report a case of CASTLE in a 54-year-old man presenting with hoarseness. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass enclosing the right carotid artery with the shape of lobulation and invasion to the trachea. The mass was ...

Urban land leasing is a monetization strategy that was introduced in 1991 by the contemporary regime. Since then, urban center slum demolitions and their replacement high-end commercial buildings peripheral low-cost residential condominium expansions have been common occurrences Addis Ababa. Land rentiers quote extreme prices at city relatively low towards periphery. Therefore, it has hypothesi...

We present the multidetector CT findings with a pathologic correlation for the case of a solitary fibrous tumor located in the trachea. The MDCT revealed a well-circumscribed intraluminal mass arising from the trachea, with strong nodular enhancement in the periphery of the mass. The enhancement pattern of the mass corresponded histopathologically to a focal hypocellular area in the center and ...
