We examined the time course of threshold reduction in the Gabor lateral masking paradigm. Contrast detection thresholds were measured (2AFC) for a briefly presented (36 ms) foveal Gabor signal (GS), preceded by a presentation (90 ms) of two high-contrast GS flanked masks, with stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) varying from 0 to 16,290 ms. Using target-to-mask separations of 3 lambda and 12 lambda...

Underwater gliders are a class of ocean observation equipment driven by buoyancy, and their energy consumption source is mainly generated the active regulation buoyancy. The periodic elastic deformation pressure hull during upward downward movement underwater glider can have large impact on its driving This paper relates optimization problem with glider, improvement factor taken as objective. B...
