In this paper, we study pseudo-slant submanifolds of nearly Kaehler manifolds. A classification theorem on a totally umbilical pseudo-slant submanifold of a nearly Kaehler manifold is proved. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C40, 53B25, 53C15.

One of the properties of a visual surface along with hardness, distance, and color-with-illumination, is that of slant. This term must be understood to include not-slanted as well as slanted; in other words the variable consists of opposite qualities having zero slant as a norm. There is evidence that optical slant, so-called, is determined by stimulation. When vision is monocular and the head ...

A relatively unknown protein structure motif forms stable isolated single alpha-helices, termed ER/K alpha-helices, in a wide variety of proteins and has been shown to be essential for the function of some molecular motors. The flexibility of the ER/K alpha-helix determines whether it behaves as a force transducer, rigid spacer, or flexible linker in proteins. In this study, we quantify this fl...

Perceived slant was measured for horizontal lines aligned on one side and of varying lengths whose length disparity was either a constant linear amount for all lines (consistent with uniocular occlusion) or proportional to line length (consistent with global slant). Although the disparity of any line was ambiguous with respect to these two possibilities, slant of individual lines did not occur ...

The slant of a stereoscopically defined surface cannot be determined solely from horizontal disparities or from derived quantities such as horizontal size ratio (HSR). There are four other signals that, in combination with horizontal disparity, could in principle allow an unambiguous estimate of slant: the vergence and version of the eyes, the vertical size ratio (VSR), and the horizontal gradi...

The contribution of slant and tilt to the detection of differences in local surface orientation was examined for structure-from-motion (SFM) displays of a complex sinusoidal surface. Observers judged whether an elliptical SFM gauge figure appeared to be lying on the surface or intersecting it. The gauge figure orientation either matched the local surface orientation or differed from it in slant...

DNA is a strong polyelectrolyte macromolecule making metal ions (counterions) condense to cloud around the double helix. The counterions may be localized outside and inside minor major grooves of In present work, distribution condensed between inner outer regions has been studied using approaches counterion condensation theory. results have shown that number trapped should greater than 0.16 per...

We have investigated the role of geographical slant in simple navigation and spatial memory tasks, using a computer graphics town called \Hexatown" (Gillner & Mallot 1998). This environment was a hexagonal grid of streets with landmarks placed in each angle between two streets. The whole environment could be slanted by an angle of 4 . Three slant conditions were used: at: no slant; slanted NW: ...

We measured perceived depth from the optic flow (a) when showing a stationary physical or virtual object to observers who moved their head at a normal or slower speed, and (b) when simulating the same optic flow on a computer and presenting it to stationary observers. Our results show that perceived surface slant is systematically distorted, for both the active and the passive viewing of physic...

Many people’s handwriting exhibits various writing slant. This is one of factors greatly varying human handwriting and thus making it more difficult to recognize. This report describes experiments with slant counteraction. The writing slant is estimated on a per word basis and the way the handwriting data is “seen” by the recognizer is transformed in order to counteract the slant. This leaves t...
