The saliency map is a computational model and has been constructed for simulating human saliency processing, e.g. pop-out target detection (e.g. Itti & Koch, 2000). In this study the spatial structure on the saliency map was investigated. It is proposed that the saliency map is structured into processing units whose size is increasing with retinal eccentricity. In two experiments the distance b...

[1] Flexural modeling of Ithaca Chasma on Tethys suggests that the elastic thickness and the surface heat flux were 5–7 km and 18–30 mW/m respectively, when the feature formed ( 4 Gyr B.P.). Tidal heating is a plausible heat source, suggesting that Tethys’ eccentricity was higher in the past. Depending on Tethys’ internal structure, eccentricities in the range 0.001 to 0.02 are sufficient to ha...

This paper presents the sensitivity analysis of the behavior of a synchronous machine using the winding function theory considering the effect of static air-gap eccentricity. The winding function theory as a method to calculate the inductances of synchronous machines from the geometry and the actual arranging of the windings is presented. Then, detailed numerical simulations are carried out to ...

The effect of retinal eccentricity on stimulus identification was investigated by measuring observers' ability to identify digits of various sizes presented briefly at different locations in their visual fields. The stimuli were either presented one at a time or presented in pairs with each member of the pair at a different eccentricity and having a different size. Stimulus-response confusion m...

The Minimum Eccentricity Shortest Path Problem consists in finding a shortest path with minimum eccentricity given undirected graph. problem is known to be NP-complete and W[2]-hard respect the desired eccentricity. We present fpt-algorithms for parameterized by modular width, distance cluster graph, combination of treewidth eccentricity, maximum leaf number.

In this paper we determine the onset point of secular instability for the nonaxisymmetric bar mode in rigidly rotating equilibrium configurations in the PostNewtonian approximation, in order to apply it to neutron stars. The treatment is based on a precedent Newtonian analytic energy variational method which we have extended to the Post-Newtonian case. This method, based upon Landau’s theory of...

Eccentricity detection is a crucial issue for highspeed rotating machinery, which concerns the stability and safety of the machinery. Conventional techniques in industry for eccentricity detection are mainly based on measuring certain physical indicators, which are costly and hard to deploy. In this paper, we propose RED, a non-intrusive, low-cost, and realtime RFID-based eccentricity detection...

The aim of the present study was to show that planning and controlling the trajectory of a pointing movement is influenced not solely by physical constraints but also by visual constraints. Subjects were required to point towards different targets located at 20 degrees , 40 degrees , 60 degrees and 80 degrees of eccentricity. Movements were either constrained (i.e. two-dimensional movements) or...
