In this paper we present an analysis of the cross-correlation coefficient between signals at two antenna branches (ports) in the presence of spatially selective interference and additive white gaussian noise. More specifically, we look at a ±45◦ slanted polarization diversity arrangement, which is rotated around the axis perpendicular to the plane containing the antennas. Results are provided a...

Inter-ocular differences in spatial frequency occur during binocular viewing of a surface slanted in depth. Cortical cells with inter-ocular differences in preferred spatial frequency (dif-frequency cells) are expected to detect surfaces slanted in depth or vertical surface slant. Using our reaction-diffusion model, we obtain receptive fields and responses of simple cells in layer IV in cat V1....

The real projective plane P 2 can be endowed with a dianalytic structure making it into a non orientable Klein surface. Dianalytic self-mappings of that surface are projections of analytic self-mappings of the Riemann sphere Ĉ. It is known that the only analytic bijective self-mappings of Ĉ are the Möbius transformations. The Blaschke products are obtained by multiplying particular Möbius trans...

We herein report an unusual CO(2) adsorption behavior in a fluoro-functionalized MOF {[Zn(SiF(6))(pyz)(2)]·2MeOH}(n) (1) with a 1D channel system, which is made up of pyrazine and SiF(6)(2-) moieties. Surprisingly, desolvated 1 (1') adsorbs higher amounts of CO(2) at 298 K than at 195 K, which is in contrast to the usual trend. Combined Raman spectroscopic and theoretical studies reveal that sl...

In this paper we propose a slanted plane model for jointly recovering an image segmentation, a dense depth estimate as well as boundary labels (such as occlusion boundaries) from a static scene given two frames of a stereo pair captured from a moving vehicle. Towards this goal we propose a new optimization algorithm for our SLIC-like objective which preserves connecteness of image segments and ...

Intuitively, the accuracy of initial word-referent mappings should be positively correlated with the outcome of learning. Yet recent evidence suggests an inverse effect of initial accuracy in adults, whereby greater accuracy of initial mappings is associated with poorer outcomes in a cross-situational learning task. Here, we examine the impact of initial accuracy on 4-year-olds, 10-year-olds, a...

The biomechanical benefits (e.g., muscular activity) of slanted ergonomic mice have been comprehensively identified; however, their effects on task performance and subjective responses have not been fully investigated. The present study examined the effects of two slanted mice (slant angle = 30° and 50°) in comparison with a conventional mouse (slant angle = 0°) in terms of task performance (ta...
