When viewing natural scenes saccadic eye movements are used to position retinal images of interest on the fovea, while vergence eye movements act to minimise retinal disparity and maintain a single binocular view of the target. Despite these disruptions to the retinal image, we perceive a stable visual world due to suppression of the magnocellular visual pathway which processes low spatial freq...

Calculator Accommodation 2 2 Abstract In a statewide achievement test, the use of a calculator is often allowed as an accommodation for students with disabilities (SWD). The purpose of the accommodation is to eliminate the disadvantage faced by SWDs relative to peers without disabilities with the same level of overall mathematics proficiency. However, it is important to determine if the accommo...

Using explicit-solvent simulations of the 70S ribosome, the barrier-crossing attempt frequency was calculated for aminoacyl-tRNA elbow-accommodation. In seven individual trajectories (200-300 ns, each, for an aggregate time of 2.1 μs), the relaxation time of tRNA structural fluctuations was determined to be ∼10 ns, and the barrier-crossing attempt frequency of tRNA accommodation is ∼1-10 μs(-1)...

One central component to meaningful employment for people with disabilities is the ADA's workplace accommodation provision that allows qualified individuals to perform essential job functions. Little empirical evidence is available to evaluate the costs, benefits, and effectiveness of accommodations. Previous research has focused on direct costs. This article advocates an inclusive accommodatio...

This paper reviews the literature on factors that influence the visual (ocular) accommodation response when using see-through virtual image displays (VIDs) such as head-up and helmet-mounted displays. This review suggests that the overall accommodation response is determined by a complex interaction of many factors, some of which are associated with the visual stimulus (such as blur and chromat...

This paper compares spontaneous phonetic accommodation in high and low variability talker conditions. If multi-talker processing is a kind of increased cognitive load, we predict an increase in imitation in the low variability contexts. Our results suggest that, indeed, phonetic accommodation is greater in low variability contexts, but that this higher level of accommodation is moderated as per...

This article explores the potential of the LL to evaluate ethnically-defined spaces. Focusing on the area referred to as ‘Chinatown’ in central Liverpool, it examines the relationships between space, representation, and identity. Interviews with actors and passers-by indicate that the location and definition of Chinatown are interpreted inconsistently. As the article argues, however, the LL con...

In the chick eye, accommodation for near objects is brought about by changes in the focal length of the lens and by changes in the corneal radius of curvature. Several different mechanisms of lenticular accommodation have been proposed for the avian eye. These include a role for the ciliary muscle, a role for the iris muscle, and a role for changes in intraocular pressure. We have studied accom...
